The key takeaways are an overview of the SAP GUI and some common transaction codes used in SAP.

An SAP client is a commercially, organizationally and technically self-contained unit within an SAP system. It has its own master records and set of tables.

The main components of the SAP GUI are the screen header, screen body, and status bar. The screen header includes the menu bar, standard toolbar, title bar, and application toolbar. The screen body is where data is entered and viewed.

2. Entering the Client : A commercially, organizationally and technically self-contained


unit within an SAP system is called Client. It has its own master records and set of tables. The
definition of client organizational unit is obligatory, as it is the highest level in the SAP system
hierarchy. Specifications that entered at this level are valid for all company codes and for all
other organizational structure.
The user must enter a client key when they log on to the SAP System. This defines the client in
which they wish to work. All the entries the user enters, are saved per client. Data processing and
analysis is also carried out per client.
Access authorization is assigned per client.

Note : IDES = Internet Demo and Evaluation System

3. The SAP window is the user interface to the SAP System. It is otherwise known as
SAPGUI, SAP’s presentation Layer.

ORIGINAL NOTES OF SAP


The SAP graphical user interface (SAP GUI) consists of the technical features that enable you to
exchange information with the SAP System (by entering data, choosing functions, and so on).
The new SAP GUI consists of two main screen areas.
● Screen header
The screen header consists of:
Menu bar
Standard toolbar
Title bar
Application toolbar
● Screen body
The screen body is the area between the screen header and the status bar.
A typical example of an SAP screen (here, the SAP Easy Access initial screen) with the new SAP
