SAP Easy Access


SAP Easy Access 

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.

We can change the SAP easy access settings through the menu Extras -> Settings,
by specifying settings as follows:
  • The place of the Favorites
  • The presents of the menu
  • The easy access picture in the right side of the screen – to be present or not
  • Displays or not the technical names
Settings


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
Inserting transaction onto the Favorites list
As a result, the new item appears in our Favorites list
Favorites list
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 transactions (e.g. with transaction SE93) which are going to be inserted in this table.
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
Transactions used
To add other objects, we can choose them from the menu Favorites ! Add Other Objects
Adding new objects in Favorites list
We add the web address to open the SDN page
Inserting a web address


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.


Setting a Transaction as Start Transaction

We have the possibility to set a transaction as start transaction:Extras -> Set start transaction .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. saved on our computer, we can use Favorites -> Upload from PC.
Setting the start transaction dialog box


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.
Creating a SAP Shortcut on our Desktop
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.
