SAP R/3 for Everyone: Step-by-Step Instructions, Practical Advice, and Other Tips and Tricks for Working with SAP

Lesson 2. Working With SAP Sessions

The SAP application window (technically called a session) is a graphical user interface or GUI with which you communicate and interact with the SAP system. This interaction occurs on three types of screens that are displayed within the frame of the application window:

• The SAP Easy Access screen, which is the default home page of the system and the starting point for most transactions

• The initial screens of transactions, where you set up and execute transactions

• The output screens of transactions, where the system displays the results of transactions to you

This second lesson provides instructions on managing the properties of the SAP application window and its screens. Six topics are discussed:

• Controlling the session geometry and location

• Creating multiple sessions

• Killing a session

• Customizing the layouts of sessions and screens

• Customizing the SAP Easy Access screen

• Creating desktop shortcuts
