ERP:
Enterprise Resource Plan - software that integrates departments and functions across a company into one computer system. ERP runs off a single database, enabling various departments to share information and communicate with each other. ERP systems comprise function-specific modules designed to interact with the other modules, eg Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Purchasing, etc.
SAP
Systems Applications and Products. It is the name for both the online financial and administrative software and for the company that developed it. SAP is the system of record at MIT. SAP is composed of several modules.

According to Wiki, "Enterprise Resource Planning systems (ERPs) integrate (or attempt to integrate) all data and processes of an organization into a unified system. A typical ERP system will use multiple components of computer software and hardware to achieve the integration. A key ingredient of most ERP systems is the use of a unified database to store data for the various system modules."
There are many different SAPs used in computer jargon:
"SAP AG, a global software company with headquarters in Walldorf, Germany or its various products: see List of SAP products;
Secure Audio Path;
Session Announcement Protocol, a computer protocol for broadcasting multicast session information;
System Assist Processor, in computing, a specialized processor that assists a central processor on a large computer, particularly an IBM mainframe;
Service Advertising Protocol, an IPX network protocol that makes the process of adding and removing services on an IPX internetwork dynamic;
Service Access Point, an identifying label for network endpoints used in OSI networking;
SIM Access Profile, a Bluetooth profile that allows devices such as car phones with built in GSM transceivers to connect to a SIM card in a mobile phone with Bluetooth, so the car phone itself doesn't require a separate SIM card."
Hope this helps.
