- SAP's whole system is written in ABAP
- SAP's has different modules, ie.: Sales and Distribution, Financial Accounting, Controlling, etc
- Each SAP Module has a specific focus. However, each module is highly complex.

- The development package contains all the transactions and programs that achive the functional goal of the package.
- 02:31 | at the end of this 'lecture' you will find programs, all of them developed in 'ABAP'
- You cannot write any programs or add any transactions without assigning them to a development package.
- If a development package grows to a larger size, SAP splits the packages into sub-packages.
- 02:52 | This hierarchy is as deep as the complexity requires it.
