SAP (Systems Applications & Products) is a large ERP multinational software corporation. It is an ERP software for managing data of major departments of any corporation.
When people in the industry refer to SAP they are referring to the GUI that accesses data from the back-end. This data from the back end is fetched & modified using SAP T-codes (Transaction Codes).
For example, one might say “ECC is used to execute T-codes” or “S/4 is used to execute T-Codes.”
SAP MI & SAP ME are both parts of SAP Manufacturing. If you’re not sure what SAP is at a high-level, check out my What is SAP? post.
SAP MII stands for Manufacturing Integration Intelligence. This is a product that lets companies design their own MES software in a completely customizable way with loads of integration options & features. While MII is fantastic for integration, it is a very complex solution and does require more development work than SAP ME.
SAP MII developers have to create their PODS from scratch (Production Operator Dashboards) for shop floor personnel.
