If youโ€™re parsing 100k entries for an hour, I can tell you something is very wrong. Over my career I took care of lots of SAP systems (from Basis perspective) which ranged from small ERPs/EWMs with only few hundreds of GBs of data up to massive Business Warehouse systems with tens of terabytes.

And 100k entries really shouldnโ€™t take that much, because thatโ€™s nothing. But of course itโ€™s possible. SAP needs administrationโ€ฆ You need to take care of the system, you need to take care of the underlying database. You need to be sure that youโ€™re following proper recommendations to ensure good performance. And then thereโ€™s also a question what exactly was running slowly. SAP is usually heavily modified by custom coding and while the end user might not be aware which applications are โ€œSAP standardโ€ and which are custom, it makes a lot of difference. Itโ€™s easy for in-house developers to customize a program only for the program to work badly.

My point is - SAP can work perfectly fine as long as itโ€™s maintained by experienced people and if the custom development is done properly. But companies love to cut corners and their employees donโ€™t even know if the problematic report is created by SAP, or by some random developer with lack of experience. To the end user, itโ€™s always SAP thatโ€™s bad.
