Function documentationSAP Easy Access Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

The SAP Easy Access user menu appears as a tree structure on the left half of your screen immediately after you log on to an SAP system. It is the user-specific point of entry into the SAP system. The user menu contains only those items that you need to perform your daily tasks, such as transactions, reports, and Web addresses.

Activities

  • To open an application in the navigation area, do one of the following:

    • Double-click the item

    • Choose Enter.

    • Choose   Edit   Execute  .

  • To run an application in a new session, choose   Edit   Execute in New Window  .

  • You can access the most important commands and functions in the navigation area by opening the context menu. To open the context menu, position the cursor on any item in the tree and choose the secondary mouse button.

Menu
  • If a user menu has been defined by your system administrator, it appears when you log on to the system. If you have not been assigned a user menu, or you need to access items that are not contained in your user menu, do one of the following:

    • Open the SAP standard menu by choosing   Menu   SAP Menu   and use the navigation area to navigate to the items you need.

      This way you have a complete overview of the SAP system you are currently working with.
