Notes to Financial Statements [abstract]
Disclosure of general information about consolidated financial statements	(1) General The accompanying consolidated financial statements of SAP AG and its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our,” “SAP,” “Group,” and “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). The designation “IFRS” includes all standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and related interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). The variances between the applicable IFRS standards as issued by the IASB and the standards as used by the European Union are not relevant to these financial statements. The interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2010 are in compliance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34. Certain information and disclosures normally included in notes to annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS have been condensed or omitted. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate and that the information is not misleading. Our business activities are influenced by certain seasonal effects. Historically, our overall revenue tends to be highest in the fourth quarter. Interim results are therefore not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. As a result of the acquisition of Sybase, we recognize revenue from messaging services and expect to continue to do so going forward. We include this revenue as other service revenue in the professional services and other service revenue line item. We have also merged the training revenue and the other revenue into the line item for other service revenue. This change helps maintain the clarity of our income statement. Amounts reported in previous years have been reclassified as appropriate to conform to the current presentation. We do not currently expect other changes to the structure of our income statement or other financial statements as a result of the acquisition of Sybase. These unaudited condensed IFRS consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with SAP's audited consolidated IFRS financial statements and notes thereto as of December 31, 2009. Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this document may not add up precisely to the totals we provide and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.

(2) Scope of Consolidation

The following table summarizes the change in the number of legal entities included in the consolidated financial statements:

Number of Legal Entities Consolidated in the Financial Statements

Additions	1	11	12

Additions	3	54	57
Disposals	-2	-10	-12
September 30, 2010	20	188	208

The additions relate to legal entities added in connection with acquisitions and foundations, especially the acquisition of Sybase Inc., Dublin, California (USA). The disposals are due to mergers and to liquidations of nonoperating acquired legal entities.

The changes in the scope of companies in the third quarter of 2010 included in the Consolidated Financial Statements impact the comparability with prior years and prior quarters. This is due to our acquisition of Sybase in the third quarter, which is significant to some items in the financial statements. For additional information on our business combinations and the effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements, see note (4).

Notes to Financial Statements [abstract]
Disclosure of summary of significant accounting policies	(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The interim financial statements were prepared based on the same accounting policies as those applied and described in the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2009. Our significant accounting policies are summarized in the notes to the annual financial statements. For further information, we refer to note (3) of our Group Annual Report for 2009. Newly Adopted Accounting Standards The new accounting standards adopted in the first nine months of 2010 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In May 2010, the IASB issued Improvements to IFRSs - a collection of amendments to several International Financial Reporting Standards - as part of its program of annual improvements to its standards, which is intended to make necessary, but non-urgent, amendments to standards that will not be included as part of another major project. The resulting amendments mainly have effective dates for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011, although entities are permitted to adopt them earlier. The European Union has not yet endorsed these improvements. We are currently determining the impact these amendments will have on our consolidated financial statements.

(4) Acquisitions

We acquired the following businesses in 2010:

Acquired Businesses

Business Acquired	Sector	Acquisi-tion Type	Acqui-red Voting Interest	Acquisi-tion Date
Sybase Inc., Dublin, CA, USA	Public entity specializing in database and mobile solutions	Share purchase	100%	July 26, 2010
Technidata AG, Markdorf, Germany	Privately held company specialized in developing software solutions for the management of product safety and environmental, health and safety (EHS) solutions	Share purchase	100%	July 27,2010

All of the acquired businesses develop or sell software in specific areas of strategic interest to us. The acquisition of Sybase is a material acquisition for SAP.

Sybase, headquartered in Dublin, California (USA), delivers a range of solutions designed to ensure that customer information is securely managed and mobilized, including enterprise and mobile databases, middleware, synchronization, encryption and device management software, and mobile messaging services. Before we acquired Sybase, its stock was traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: SY).

Our tender offer to acquire Sybase Inc, Dublin, California (USA), announced on May 12, was made pursuant to a tender offer statement which was filed by SAP with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 26, 2010. Under the terms and conditions of the tender offer, SAP made an all-cash tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of Sybase common stock at US$65.00 per share, representing an enterprise value of approximately US$5.8 billion. The transaction closed on July 26 after our receiving the majority of the outstanding shares of Sybase's common stock (92.1% percent of Sybase's outstanding shares of common stock, or 91.8% percent on a fully diluted basis) and clearance by the relevant antitrust authorities. Subsequently, SAP used its right to acquire the remaining common shares under the applicable corporate law. The acquisition was completed on July 29. The remaining shareholders also received US$65.00 per share in cash.

The per-share purchase price represented a 44% premium over the three-month average stock price of Sybase.

The aggregate consideration, net of cash received, was €4,185 million (thereof Sybase €4,124 million) and was paid in cash.

The transaction was funded from SAP's cash on hand and a €2.75 billion loan facility by a bank consortium.

The components of the consideration paid for Sybase Inc are as follows:

Consideration transferred for Sybase

€ millions	2010
Value of acquired shares outstanding	4,322
Value of acquired and accelerated options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units	229
Total	4,551
Cash acquired	427

The following table shows the preliminary allocation of the consideration to the fair values of assets and liabilities assumed as well as the values recorded prior to fair value adjustments:

Consideration transferred					4,631	4551
Cash acquired					446	427
Consideration transferred net of cash					4,185	4,124

The assumed fair values of trade and other receivables acquired are as follows:

€ millions	Value as of Acquisition Date	thereof Sybase
Gross Contractual Amounts	185	174
Reserves	4	4
Fair Value of Receivables	181	170

We have not yet finalized the purchase price allocation for our acquisitions, because we are still evaluating our acquisition-date fair-value assumptions.

The acquisition-related cost of our 2010 acquisitions is €14 million and was recognized in general and administration expense.

The acquired assets and liabilities are included in the consolidated statements of financial position at their estimated fair value on acquisition. The excess of the acquisition cost of the business combination over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired was recognized in goodwill. Factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill of €3.4 billion (thereof Sybase €3.3 billion) were expected synergies from combining the activities, as well as assets, which cannot be recognized separately from goodwill because they are not identifiable (such as the quality and level of education of the workforce). We expect that both SAP and Sybase will benefit from synergies across product lines and markets. SAP plans to accelerate the reach of its solutions across mobile platforms and drive forward the realization of its in-memory computing vision. Sybase's mobile platform can connect all applications and data (SAP and non-SAP) and enable them on mobile devices. We expect that SAP, Sybase, and their customers will be able to use the Sybase messaging network in the future.

The loss after tax of the Sybase subgroup for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2010 included in our profit after tax for Q3 amounts to €3 million. That loss after tax contains the amortization of all acquired Sybase intangibles, deferred revenue writedowns, and other effects resulting from the allocation of the consideration.

Impact of Acquisitions on SAP's Financials

The acquisition of Sybase had the following impact on revenue and profit after tax:

Impact of Sybase on SAP's Financials

€ millions	1/1/-9/30/ 2010 as Reported	thereof Sybase
Revenue	8,406	131
Profit after tax	1,379	-3

If we had acquired Sybase at the beginning of 2010, the pro-forma revenue would have been €8.888 million and the pro-forma profit after tax would have been€1.291 million. These pro-forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only. The pro-forma results are reliably indicative neither of the results of operations that would actually have been achieved had the acquisition been effected at the beginning of the respective periods, nor of future results.

If we had acquired TechniData on January 1, 2010, our revenue and profit after tax would not have been materially different from the numbers presented in our Consolidated Income Statements. This is because we generally integrate acquired businesses into our overall operations very quickly and because we had a business relationship with TechniData prior to the acquisition.

We assigned the following amounts to identifiable intangible assets:

Identifiable Intangible Assets Acquired as Part of Business Combinations in 2010

	Total € millions	thereof Sybase	Estimated Useful Lives (in Years)
Customer contracts	1,091	1,088	3 to 13
Intellectual property	518	518	5 to 7
Distribution right	12	0	6
Trade name	47	47	7
In-process research and development	44	44	amortized over useful life after completion
Other intangible assets	15	10	2 to 5
Identifiable intangible assets acquired	1,727	1,707

There were no identifiable intangible assets that have not been separately recorded.

We have not yet assigned the acquired goodwill recognized for our 2010 business combinations to our segments.

We do not expect goodwill recognized in 2010 to be deductible for tax purposes.

Acquisitions of the prior year are described in our consolidated financial statements for 2009.

Disclosure of restructuring expenses

(6) Restructuring

All 2010 restructuring charges relate to changes in estimate of restructuring projects started in previous years, particularly the reduction of our workforce by 2,983 positions in 2009. Due to the reduced number of employees, we also consolidated certain facilities.

In 2008, we implemented a restructuring program relating to the acquisition of Business Objects that led to employee and facility-related restructuring expenses.

As a result of the changes in estimate of our restructuring provisions we recorded a gain in the amount of €1 million.

The following table shows changes in our restructuring provisions:

Restructuring Development

€ millions	Termina-tion Benefits	Cost of Closing Redundant Facilities	Total
1/1/2010	16	28	44

Utilization	-10	-17	-27
Release	-3	-5	-8
Currency impact	1	3	4
9/30/2010	5	15	20

We expect that most of the remaining employee-related restructuring provisions will be paid in 2010. Utilization of the facility-related restructuring provision depends on the length of the remaining term of the lease. €7 million of the provision is non-current.

Diluted earnings per share (EPS) does not include certain convertible bonds and stock options issued in connection with the LTI 2000 Plan and SAP SOP 2002, because their underlying exercise prices were higher than the average market prices of SAP shares in the periods presented. Such convertible bonds and stock options, if converted or exercised, represent 21.4 million SAP common shares on September 30, 2010, and 36.0 million SAP common shares on September 30, 2009.

Starting in the third quarter of 2010, diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of bonus shares granted under Share Matching Plan 2010.

(13) Share-Based Compensation Plans

For a detailed description of our share-based compensation plans, see the “SAP Annual Report 2009, Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” section, Note (28), or our annual report for 2009 on Form 20-F.

In September 2010, we issued the following share-based compensation plans to our employees and the members of the Executive Board:

Under the new Share Matching Plan 2010 (SMP 2010), SAP offered its employees the opportunity to purchase SAP AG shares at a discount of 40%. The number of SAP shares an eligible employee was able to purchase was limited to a percentage of the employee's annual base salary. After a holding period of three years, the employees receive one SAP share free of charge for every three shares held. The terms for the members of the senior leadership team (SLT) are different. Instead of receiving a discount, they are granted two bonus shares for every three shares acquired and held during the three-year vesting period. The participants purchased 1.6 million SAP shares in aggregate at a discounted share price of €21.07. The discount of €25.8 million was expensed immediately. The fair value of the right to a bonus share was estimated at grant date at €33.71 per share using a risk-free interest rate of 0.82%, a dividend yield of 1.65% and an expected life of three years.

Under the Stock Option Plan 2010 (SOP 2010), we granted 5.4 million cash-based virtual stock options to members of the SLT, to SAP's top rewards (top talents and top performers) and to members of the Executive Board.

The vesting period for the SLT and top rewards is three years and the contractual term of the program is six years. The exercise price is €39.03 and the fair value at grant date was €6.40.

The vesting period for the members of the Executive Board is four years with a contractual term of seven years. The exercise price is €40.80 and the fair value at grant date was €7.00.

In connection with the acquisition of Sybase (see Note 4), we assumed 35.7 million restricted stock awards that were unvested at the closing of the acquisition. They were converted into the right to receive, at the originally agreed vesting dates, a fix amount in cash equal to the number of restricted shares held at vesting time multiplied by US$65.00 per share (SAP's purchase price of Sybase shares at acquisition).

The outstanding equity-settled options, convertible bonds, and SMPs entitle their holders to the following numbers of shares:

Outstanding Options, Convertible Bonds and restricted stocks
number in thousands	September 30, 2010	December 31, 2009
Stock Option Plan 2002	5,409	13,256
Long Term Incentive 2000 Plan (convertible bonds)	16,043	22,533
Long Term Incentive 2000 Plan (stock options)	1,915	2,235
Share Matching Plan 2010 (Bonus shares)	565	0

The allocations of expenses for share-based compensation to the various expense items are as follows:

Note 15 - Litigation and Claims	Sep. 30, 2010 EUR (€)
Notes to Financial Statements [abstract]
Disclosure of litigation and claims	(15) Litigation and Claims We are subject to a variety of claims and lawsuits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, including proceedings and claims that relate to companies which we have acquired, and claims that relate to customers demanding indemnification for proceedings initiated against them based on their use of SAP software. We will continue to vigorously defend against all claims and lawsuits against us. We record a provision for such matters when it is probable that we have a present obligation that results from a past event, is reliably estimable and the settlement of which is probable to require an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits. We currently believe that resolving all claims and lawsuits against us, individually or in aggregate, did not and will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, income, or cash flows. Consequently, the provisions currently recorded for these claims and lawsuits are neither individually nor in aggregate material to SAP. However, all claims and lawsuits involve risk and could lead to significant financial and reputational damage to the parties involved. Because of significant inherent uncertainties related to these matters, there can be no assurance that our business, financial position, income or cash flows will not be materially adversely affected nor can we reliably estimate the maximum possible loss in case of an unfavorable outcome. Among the claims and lawsuits are the following: Intellectual Property Litigation In October 2006, United States-based Sky Technologies LLC (Sky) instituted legal proceedings in the United States against SAP and Oracle. Sky alleges that SAP's products infringe one or more of the claims in each of five patents held by Sky. In its complaint, Sky seeks unspecified monetary damages and permanent injunctive relief. In September 2010, SAP and Sky resolved this dispute for an amount not material to SAP's business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In January 2007, German-based CSB-Systems AG (CSB) instituted legal proceedings in Germany against SAP. CSB alleges that SAP's products infringe one or more of the claims of a German patent and a German utility model held by CSB. In its complaint, CSB has set the amount in dispute at €1 million and is seeking permanent injunctive relief. Within these proceedings CSB is not precluded from requesting damages in excess of the amount in dispute. In July 2007, SAP filed its response in the legal proceedings including a nullity action and cancellation proceeding against the patent and utility model, respectively. The nullity hearing on the German patent was held in January 2009 and the German Court determined that the patent is invalid. The cancellation hearing for the utility model was held in May 2009 and the Court determined that the utility model was invalid. However, CSB is appealing, and the infringement hearing has been stayed pending the appeals. In May 2010, CSB-Systems International, Inc. (CSB) instituted legal proceedings in the United States against SAP. CSB alleges that SAP's products infringe one or more of the claims in one patent held by CSB. In its complaint, CSB seeks unspecified monetary damages and permanent injunctive relief. Trial has not yet been scheduled. In March 2007, United States-based Oracle Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries (Oracle) instituted legal proceedings in the United States against TomorrowNow, Inc., its parent company SAP America, Inc., and SAP America's parent company SAP AG (SAP). Oracle filed an amended complaint in June 2007, a second amended complaint in July 2008, a third amended complaint in October 2008, and a fourth amended complaint in August 2009. SAP and TomorrowNow have answered the fourth amended complaint, subject to and as revised by the Court's ruling on motion to dismiss the preceding third amended complaint. As amended, the lawsuit alleges copyright infringement, violations of the Federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the California Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, unfair competition, intentional and negligent interference with prospective economic advantage, and civil conspiracy. The lawsuit alleges that SAP unlawfully copied and misappropriated proprietary, copyrighted software products and other confidential materials developed by Oracle to service its own customers. The lawsuit seeks injunctive relief and monetary damages, including punitive damages, alleged by Oracle to be in the billions of U.S. dollars. As a result of various pretrial rulings by the Court and several stipulations between the parties, the claims remaining for trial are Oracle's claims for damages and disgorgement of alleged infringer's profits, alleged contributory copyright infringement of SAP AG and SAP America, and punitive damages against TomorrowNow. The trial has been re-scheduled for November 2010. Additionally, in June 2007, SAP became aware that the United States Department of Justice had opened an investigation concerning related issues and had issued subpoenas to SAP and TomorrowNow; SAP and TomorrowNow are cooperating with the investigation and are responding to the original subpoenas and additional subpoenas issued by the Department of Justice. In September 2010 a settlement conference was held. No settlement was reached. SAP has recorded a provision for these legal proceedings as far as a loss is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In the third quarter of 2010, we increased the accrual from US$100 million to US$160 million. In April 2007, United States-based Versata Software, Inc. (formerly Trilogy Software, Inc.) (Versata) instituted legal proceedings in the United States against SAP. Versata alleges that SAP's products infringe one or more of the claims in each of five patents held by Versata. In its complaint, Versata seeks unspecified monetary damages and permanent injunctive relief. The trial was held in August 2009. The jury returned a verdict in favor of Versata and awarded Versata US$138.6 million for past damages. With prejudgment interest, approximately US$167 million is in dispute. The parties have filed post-trial motions and hearings were held in March and April of 2010. In August 2007, United States-based elcommerce.com, Inc. (elcommerce) instituted legal proceedings in the United States against SAP. elcommerce alleges that SAP's products infringe one or more of the claims in one patent held by elcommerce. In its complaint, elcommerce seeks unspecified monetary damages and permanent injunctive relief. The Court in East Texas granted SAP's request to transfer the litigation from East Texas to Pennsylvania. The trial in Pennsylvania has not yet been scheduled. In May 2008, United States-based InfoMentis, Inc. (InfoMentis) instituted legal proceedings in the United States against SAP. InfoMentis alleges copyright infringement and unfair competition. The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages and a permanent injunction. SAP filed its response in August 2008. The March 2010 trial date has been taken off the calendar and no new trial date has been set. In August 2010, SAP and InfoMentis resolved this dispute for an amount not material to SAP's business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In February 2010, United States-based TecSec, Inc. (TecSec) instituted legal proceedings in the United States against SAP, Sybase, IBM and many other defendants. TecSec alleges that SAP's products infringe one or more of the claims in five patents held by TecSec. In its complaint, TecSec seeks unspecified monetary damages and permanent injunctive relief. The trial has not yet been scheduled. The legal proceedings have been stayed against all defendants except IBM. In April 2010, SAP instituted legal proceedings (a declaratory judgment action) in the United States against Wellogix, Inc. and Wellogix Technology Licensing, LLC (Wellogix). The lawsuit seeks a declaratory judgment that five patents owned by Wellogix are invalid or not infringed by SAP. The trial has not yet been scheduled. Other Litigation In April 2008, South African-based Systems Applications Consultants (PTY) Limited (Securinfo) instituted legal proceedings in South Africa against SAP. Securinfo alleges that SAP has caused one of its subsidiaries to breach a software distribution agreement with Securinfo. In its complaint, Securinfo seeks damages of approximately €610 million plus interest. In September 2009, SAP filed a motion to dismiss. The trial has been scheduled for June 2011. In March 2008, United States-based Waste Management, Inc. (Waste Management) and USA Waste Management Resources, L.L.C. instituted legal proceedings in the United States against SAP alleging several causes of action, including but not limited to, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and breach of contract. In April 2010, SAP and Waste Management resolved this dispute for an amount not material to SAP's business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

(17) Segment Information

For information about the basis of SAP's segment reporting and for information on SAP's operating segments, see the “SAP Annual Report 2009, Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” section, Note (29). Starting in 2010, the accounting policies we apply for segment reporting purposes are no longer based on U.S. GAAP, but on IFRSs. We have adjusted the prior year figures in the tables below for comparison purposes.

The acquisition of Sybase also affected our internal reporting to the members of our Executive Board, who are responsible for assessing the performance of various company components and making resource allocation decisions as our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM):

In our internal reporting we have added a new reportable segment in addition to the existing product, consulting, and training reportable segments. While the new segment is called Sybase it is not identical to the acquired Sybase business, since parts of the acquired business are integrated with and thus reported in other reportable segments.

The measurement of the segment result for the Sybase segment differs from the respective measurement for the other segments as the Sybase segment result includes an allocation of development, administration, and other corporate expense whereas these expenses are excluded from measurement of the segment results of the other segments.

The following tables present external revenue and profit from our reportable segments, a reconciliation of total external revenue from reportable segments to total consolidated revenue as reported in the IFRS consolidated income statements, and a reconciliation of total segment profit to profit before taxes as reported in the consolidated income statements.

We acquired Sybase on July 26, 2010. Therefore the following Sybase numbers for external revenue and profit only include August and September.
