SAP Easy Access

“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing”


Walt Disney

Abstract This chapter presents the SAP Easy Access, highlighting some aspects
found in our everyday work. So, we show how to change the standard settings, how
to add in the Favorites list the frequently used transactions, and how to create a
Shortcut on the Desktop.

SAP easy access starts automatically after logging-in into the SAP system. In the
left side, we can see the user menu. Here are the functions the user needs to perform
his tasks (Fig. 2.1).

6 2 SAP Easy Access

2.1 Changing the SAP Easy Access

We can change the SAP easy access settings through the menu Extras ! Settings,
by specifying settings as follows:
l The place of the Favorites
l The presents of the menu
l The easy access picture in the right side of the screen – to be present or not
l Displays or not the technical names (Fig. 2.2).

2.2 Favorites List

The user menu is mostly defined by the administrator, but we can define our own
Favorites list. Here, we can create our own list of favorites containing items as
transaction, files, web addresses or other objects.
To add new transactions in the Favorite list, we can choose from the menu
Favorites ! Insert Transactions (Fig. 2.3).

As a result, the new item appears in our Favorites list (Fig. 2.4).

We can find the list of the SAP transaction codes in the transparent table TSTC.
Besides the transactions predefined in the system, we can create our own transac-
tions (e.g. with transaction SE93) which are going to be inserted in this table.
2.2 Favorites List 7

Every time we use a transaction, the system verifies in this table whether the
transaction exists and if we have the proper authorization to use it.
As support for our daily tasks, we add here some of the transactions we use in
this book (Fig. 2.5).

To add other objects, we can choose them from the menu Favorites ! Add
Other Objects (Fig. 2.6).

We add the web address to open the SDN page (Fig. 2.7).

We can use Favorites ! Download to PC to save on our computer a list with all
the objects we have in the Favorites folder. To upload in a Favorites folder objects
from a list saved on our computer, we can use Favorites ! Upload from PC.

2.3 Setting a Transaction as Start Transaction

We have the possibility to set a transaction as start transaction: Extras ! Set start
transaction (Fig. 2.8). In this way, the desired transaction is automatically started
after logging-in into the system (in our case the SE80 transaction), and we don’t see
the SAP easy access anymore.

2.4 Creating a Shortcut

After installing the SAP GUI, a SAP logon icon appears on our desktop. By using
this logon, we can login into the system. Additionally, we can create a SAP logon
shortcut to be used to perform the same logon, but we don’t need to fill all the
entries in the logon form. A SAP shortcut allows us not only to perform a logon into
the system, but to execute other commands, too. So, we can start a SAP transaction,
run a report or perform a system command.
To create a SAP Shortcut on our desktop to start the transaction SE80, we can
use the Wizard available in the layout menu, by clicking on the respective icon
located in the system function bar (Fig. 2.9).

Another possibility to create a SAP shortcut on our desktop is to select a


transaction or another object from the Favorites list, and to use the menu Edit !
Create Shortcut on the Desktop.
