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

Once you log on to SAP, it is a good practice to create several application windows and stow the extra ones in the application toolbar of your Windows desktop.

Why? Some transactions require fairly long execution times (on the order of several tens of seconds to a few minutes) because they must comb through large volumes of the database to locate and collect data. While they are running, an hourglass replaces your screen cursor and the window is "frozen" from any further use until the transaction is completed. When this happens, you can either sit and wait for the transaction to run, or you can call up another window and work there.

You can create multiple application windows by following this procedure.

Procedure: Creating Multiple Application Windows

Click the Create session button (A) in the standard toolbar (Figure 2.3) or
