SAP Application Performance Standard

The SAP Application Performance Standard (SAPS) is a unit of measurement that describes the performance (throughput result) of a SAP system configuration. This hardware-independent unit is based on the SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) Benchmark. It is defined as:

2,000 fully processed order line items per hour = 100 SAPS

This throughput corresponds to 6,000 processed dialog steps (screen changes), 2,000 postings per hour in the SD benchmark, or 2,400 SAP transactions.

In the SD benchmark, fully business processed means the full business process of an order line item: creating the order, creating a delivery note for the order, displaying the order, changing the delivery, posting a goods issue, listing orders, and creating an invoice.
