I was not satisfied by the above answers. I got this one
from sdn.sap and i have posted here.

A through gap analysis will identify the gaps between how
the business operates ad its needs against what the package
can can't do. For each gap there will be one of three
outcomes which must be recorded and actioned, GAP must be
closed and customised software can be developed close the
gap, GAP must be closed but software cannot be written
therefore a workaround is required, GAP does not need to be
closed.

In simple terms: Gap means small cracks. In SAP world. In
information technology, gap analysis is the study of the
differences between two different information systems or
applications( ex; existing system or legacy system with
Client and new is SAP), often for the purpose of
determining how to get from one state to a new state. A gap
is sometimes spoken of as "the space between where we are
and where we want to be." Gap analysis is undertaken as a
means of bridging that space.
Actual gap analysis is time consuming and it plays vital
role in blue print stage

The Gaps can differ from company to company. Most commonly,
however, missing functionality is industry-specific.

Examples

In customer master data the client requirement needs legacy
customer number which can be solved with User exit.
In sales order we need customer Phone number, we can use
user exit
If client want new field in customer master like nearest
fire station.

GAP analysis is done in Blue Print stage. It aims to
understand what can be done with the standard SAP and how
the client actually wants a particular scenario to be
processed.
It’s an understanding of the GAP between the actual &
required scenarios.

Tthe difference between agreed work and completed work is
GAP Analysis.

E.g.: To Fill This Gap, We Use The Enhancements,These
Enhancements Divided Into Exits, Like User exits, Field
Exits Screen Exits & Menu Exits.These Enhancements are used
to update the standard program in its Respective Business
Transactions, Used as a Gateway to Meet the Client
Requirements.

Answer / shiva

Hello.
GAP analysis is done in Blue Print stage. It aims to
understand what can be done with the standard SAP and how
the client actually wants a particular scenario to be
processed. And to understand the GAP between the actual &
required scenarios.

For eg: in standard SAP there will be no Availability check
done at Quotation Level. But client requests that
Availability check be done at Quotation level also sothat
that will give him an idea roughly when the delivery could
me made (remember that doesnot transfer requirements).
Accordingly his customer can proceed with placing an order
or not as per his requirement.
Please correct me if I am wrong

Answer / jameer

GAP analysis is matching the clients requirement to the SAP
architecture.

The best example of GAP analysis is.

Business process is after the delivery, billing happens in
sap architecture.

But client specifies that he want billing to be done
before delivery.
