Notes to Financial Statements [abstract]
Disclosure of general information about consolidated financial statements	(1) General Information About Consolidated Financial Statements 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 March 31, 2011 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. We reclassified certain items in our Consolidated Financial Statements for 2010, as described in Note (3b). The Consolidated Financial Statements for 2010 are included in our 2010 Annual Report and our Annual Report 2010 on Form 20-F. Amounts reported in previous years have been reclassified as appropriate to conform to the current presentation. The adjustment of the allocation of the acquisition price also results in non-material changes to some of the amounts reported in previous years. 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, 2010. 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.

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

Disposals	0	-2	-2
March 31, 2011	22	181	203

The additions in the first quarter of 2011 relate to legal entities added in connection with foundations. The disposals are due to mergers and to liquidations of non-operating acquired legal entities.

The changes in the scope of companies in 2010 impact the comparability with prior years and prior quarters. This is due to our acquisition of Sybase Inc. in the third quarter of 2010, which is significant to some items in the financial statements.

In the first quarter of 2011, the number of issued shares increased by 770,500 shares (Q1 2010: 620,612), resulting from the exercise of awards granted under certain share-based compensation programs. Treasury Shares On March 31, 2011, we held 39 million treasury shares, representing €39 million or 3.2% of capital stock. In the first quarter of 2011, we acquired 3.6 million shares for treasury at an average price of approximately €43.84 per share and disposed of 3.8 million shares with a purchase price of approximately €35.44 per share. Stock purchases and stock sales were mainly in connection with our stock option plans, which are described in Note (28) in our Annual Report for 2010. In the first quarter of 2010, we acquired 3.5 million shares at an average price of approximately €33.99 per share and we disposed of 2.5 million shares with a purchase price of approximately €35.42 per share. Stock purchases and stock sales were mainly in connection with our stock option plans, which are described in Note (28) in our Annual Report for 2010. We do not have any dividend or voting rights associated with our treasury stock. In the first quarters of 2011 and 2010 we did not purchase any SAP American Depositary Receipts (ADRs).

Note 13 - Litigation and Claims	Mar. 31, 2011 EUR (€)
Notes to Financial Statements [abstract]
Disclosure of litigation and claims	(13) 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. For the TomorrowNow litigation, we have recorded a provision of €997 million. We currently believe that resolving all other claims and lawsuits against us, individually or in the aggregate, did not and will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, profit, or cash flows. Consequently, the provisions currently recorded for these other 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, profit or cash flows will not be materially adversely affected nor can we reliably estimate the maximum possible loss in case of an unfavorable outcome. For a description of the development of the provisions recorded for litigation, see Note (19b) in our Annual Report 2010. Among the claims and lawsuits are the following: Intellectual Property Litigation 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. CSB is appealing, however, 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. The trial is scheduled for December 2011. 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 several amended complaints between 2007 and 2009. 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. The trial was held in November 2010. Prior to trial, SAP AG, SAP America and TomorrowNow stipulated to liability for certain claims, and SAP agreed to pay Oracle US$120 million for attorneys´ fees. After the trial, the jury returned a damages verdict of US$1.3 billion. The judgment which was issued on February 3, 2011, additionally provides for prejudgment interest of US$15 million. The judgment amount is also subject to post-judgment interest which accrues from the time judgment is entered. The jury based its verdict on the theory of a hypothetical license, that is, the value of what TomorrowNow would have paid if it had negotiated with Oracle a license for the copyrights infringed by TomorrowNow. Before and during the course of the trial, various damages amounts had been presented by the parties to the litigation. They included the following: a) Before the trial, Oracle had requested damages in excess of US$3.5 billion based on alleged “saved acquisition costs”; the court dismissed that damage claim based on a pretrial motion, but Oracle has the right to appeal that dismissal. b) During the trial, Oracle's damages experts presented an amount of US$408 million based on lost profits and disgorgement of infringer's profit. c) During the trial, members of Oracle management presented, as part of their testimonies, amounts of up to US$5 billion. Oracle's damages expert presented a damages estimate of “at least” US$1,655,600,000 under a hypothetical license theory. Oracle's counsel asked the jury to award “somewhere between US$1.65 and US$3 billion.” d) During the trial, the damages expert for TomorrowNow and SAP presented an amount of US$28 million based on lost profits and infringer's profits or, alternatively, US$40.6 million based on a hypothetical license theory. Counsel for SAP and TomorrowNow asked the jury to award US$28 million. We believed both before and during the trial and continue to believe that the hypothetical license theory is not an appropriate basis for calculating the damages. Instead, we believe that damages should be based on lost profits and infringer's profits. As of the date of this report, SAP has filed post-trial motions that ask the judge to overturn the judgment. The hearing on the post-trial motions is scheduled for July 2011. Based on the outcome of the post-trial motions, SAP will decide whether to appeal. Additionally, in June 2007, SAP became aware that the United States Department of Justice (U.S. DOJ) 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 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. In January 2011, the court vacated the jury's damages award and ordered a new trial on damages in May 2011. 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. Subsequent to the Markman ruling by the court, the parties agreed to the entry of final judgment regarding non-infringement by SAP. elcommerce has the right to appeal the court's Markman ruling. 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 pending the outcome of an appeal by TecSec regarding the court's determination that IBM does not infringe the patents. 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 and/or not infringed by SAP. The trial has not yet been scheduled. The legal proceedings have been stayed pending the outcome of re-examinations filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. 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.
