Logging on to the R/3 System
• The R/3 System is a client system
• A client is, in organizational terms, an independent
unit in the R/3 System. Each client has its own data
environment and therefore its own master data and
transaction data, assigned user master records and
charts of accounts, and specific customizing
parameters
• A user master record linked to the relevant client must
be created for users to be able to log on to the system
• To protect access, a password is required for logon.
The password is hidden as you type (you only see
asterisks).
• SAP systems are available in several languages. Use
the Language input field to select the logon language
for each session.
• A warning message appears if the same user attempts
to log on twice or more. This message offers three
options:
Continue with current logon and end any other logons in
the system
Continue with current logon without ending any other
logons in the system (logged in system)
Terminate current logon
Screen Elements
SAP Easy Access Standard
Selecting Function
You can select system functions in the following
ways:
• Use the mouse to choose
• Use the keyboard (ALT + the underlined letter of
the relevant menu option)
• Enter a transaction code in the command
field:
- A transaction code (T-Code) is assigned to each
function in R/3 (not each screen).
- You can access the assigned transaction code
from any screen in the R/3 System.
- You can find the transaction code for the function
you are working in under the Status option of the
System menu.
- For example, to display Accounts receivable
master data, enter “/n” and the appropriate
transaction code (in this case “/nfd03”).
Other possible entries:
“/n” ends the current transaction. “/i” ends the
current session.
“/osm04” creates a new session and goes to the
transaction specified (SM04).
You can also use the keyboard to get to the
command field. Use the CTRL + TAB key
combination to make the cursor move from one
(input) field group to the next. Use TAB to move
between fields within a group.
