ERP
(Enterprise Resource Planning) is an industry term for the broad set of activities supported by multi-module application software that helps a manufacturer or other business manage the important parts of its business, including product planning, parts purchasing, maintaining inventories, interacting with suppliers, providing customer service, and tracking orders. ERP can also include application modules for the finance and human resources aspects of a business. Typically, an ERP system uses or is integrated with a relational database system. The deployment of an ERP system can involve considerable business process analysis, employee retraining, and new work procedures.
SAP
, started in 1972 by five former IBM employees in Mannheim, Germany, states that it is the world's largest inter-enterprise software company and the world's fourth-largest independent software supplier, overall.
The original name for SAP was German: Systeme, Anwendungen, Produkte, German for "Systems Applications and Products." The original SAP idea was to provide customers with the ability to interact with a common corporate database for a comprehensive range of applications. Gradually, the applications have been assembled and today many corporations, including IBM and Microsoft, are using SAP products to run their own businesses.
SAP is often used as term for SAP's ERP System mySAP, or for the older release R/3. SAP offers a wide range of solutions around their ERP system like a CRM system, Solution Manager, an Exchange Infrastructure, Portal fuctionality and more.

Enterprise resource planning. This is usually heirarchal database stuff like syteline. Stuff like at a ford factory, where if they want to make a door for a car, it will require x number of bolt item number y & z number of hinges model z.... ERP systems are used mostly for the planning phase of production in a factory. If a customer wants 1000 units, it will quickly tell you how many pieces you need to make those 1000 units from the sum of the subitems.
SAP is just a buzzword that equates / sisters Service oriented arcitecture. Its a specific methodology that some enterprise systems are architected on with its own doctrines.
