In the standard SAP System, the cursor automatically moves to the next input field when it reaches the end of the current input field. This feature is called automatic tabbing (AutoTAB). It is useful when you are entering data in many fields and you want to avoid having to press the
TAB key to move among these fields.However, AutoTAB only works at the end of an input field. For example, if the Material field can hold 12 characters, but the material number you enter is only 7 characters long, you must press the
TAB key to move to the next input field.For information on activating AutoTAB, see
Tabbing Between Fields Automatically.
