The System and Help menus are always available in the SAP System. They are appended automatically to the right of the individual menus at the respective level. Therefore, they are not discussed further here.

In the menu bar at the Main Menu Level, the R/3 System displays all applications available. The following application areas are currently available: Office, Logistics, Accounting, Human resources, Tools.

At the Application Level, object classes or tasks = transactions of an application area are listed in the menu bar. The user chooses an object class and a respective action and then starts a task. For grouping together object classes and transactions, please refer to the Menu Bar at Application Level section.

At the Task Level, the user edits data. The structure of the menu bar and the corresponding pull-down menus are largely standardized. The following section gives an overview of the individual menu bar options in the defined sequence from left to right, together with a short definition and obligatory or typical pull-down menus.
