SAP Application Performance Standard

The SAP Application Performance Standard, known as 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.
