Used SAP a number of years ago whilst working with Southcorp Whitegoods(Vulcan, Hoover, Chef etc)
Was an ERP system - Has the ability to control raw materials and the purchase of, through to finished stock and control all production in between based on end sales etc
For memory, they gave us the speil when training, that the co- was founded by some ex IBM employee's that were given the base technology by IBM. This software was originally created by Xerox who gave it to IBM during their upgarde to IBM compatible software.
It was cumbersome system then and I don't see it being any different now
