Tricks To Working Faster With SAP – Variants And Favourites
SAP provides a number of tricks to make it easier to navigate through the various menus and carry out the day to day activities. These tricks provide a 3 way advantage:
- They reduce the time and effort required to get a job done in SAP.
- They reduce the chances of error while entering data in the selection screens.
- They reduce the dependency on a particular user by automating the jobs.
Most businesses need to carry out repetitive activities on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis. For example, consider a business which needs to produce monthly sales reports for the senior management for each of the product lines. When a report is run by the end user, selection data needs to be entered on the selection screen of the report.
The end user may be required to enter around ten fields to generate the report. SAP makes it possible to enter this data every time with a single click. This would save a lot of time for the end user and also prevent the generation of the wrong report due to human error while entering data in the selection screen. A number of such tricks are described below.
