R/3 Transactions

• Transactions form the basis of SAP program processing.

• A transaction is the smallest step that can be executed by the user.

• 4 - 20 character transaction codes are commonly used to quickly access specific screens in SAP.

• Transaction codes are entered in the OK (Command) field in the R/3 System.

• A number of commands are provided to facilitate SAP session management and transaction processing.

Example Transaction Codes:

SE80 - Repository Browser

SE38 - ABAP Editor

SE11 - ABAP Dictionary

SM04 - Overview of Users

OK Field Commands:

/o - Lists user’s sessions

/oxxxx - Creates a new session and starts transaction xxxx

/nxxxx - Cancels current transaction and starts transaction xxxx

/h - Turns on Debugger mode

at once.• To open a new session, select “Create session” from the
