SAP ERP R/3


What Is SAP R/3?

SAP R/3 is a package of integrated applications called modules that record and track the activities and costs of doing business. Its roots extend back to 1972, when five system analysts, all former employees of IBM in Germany, created the software for collecting large volumes of business data in a single computer and then processing this data in real time, when the user needs it. Real-time processing was a particularly novel development at the time because the computers of the 1970s were slow, lumbering machines that required minutes, and sometimes even hours, to process large volumes of data.
Since that time, SAP has grown from a small regional company to the leading provider of business enterprise software in the world. At last count, SAP R/3 is now installed at 84,000 locations in 120 countries around the world, and it is used by more than 10 million people every day. SAP is now the world's third-largest independent software vendor, and it is still growing strong.
The great strength and utility of SAP R/3 are due to a large degree to its architecture or structure, which consists of functional modules, the SAP database, and the graphical user interface or GUI.

What is Data Base ?
The database is the actual collection of business data. These data are stored inside database servers, which are computers with huge amounts of storage memory and the capacity to rapidly exchange data with the application servers.

What is SAP GUI ?
The graphical user interface or GUI appears on the desktops of the computers or clients that you use to access the software. The centerpiece of the GUI is the application window (called a session by SAP), where you enter commands and data on scenes or screens by means of your mouse and keyboard.


What is SAP Transaction ?
The word transaction describes a single business activity that is conducted with SAP R/3. Some examples of end user transactions are
  • ·         Creating a purchase requisition
  • ·         Generating a budget report for a company department
  • ·         Scheduling the shipment of a material to a plant
  • ·         Recording the activities of a maintenance job
  • ·         Entering employees' weekly work hours
  • ·         Displaying the yearly sales for a product
What is SAP  Transaction  Workflow ?
Every transaction progresses through a four-step workflow of actions, commands, and events.
Step 1:Log On to SAP System
Step 2:Navigate to  Initial Screen
Step 3 : Setting Up and  run transaction .
Step 4 :Work with output
The typical workflow begins when the end user logs on the SAP system (Step 1). This action calls up the SAP Easy Access screen, which is the default "home page" for the software. The end user works with the elements on this screen to call up or navigate to the initial screen of a transaction (Step 2), where they instruct the software on its specific objectives and then execute it (Step 3). A few seconds later, the output of the transaction appears (Step 4) in one of two forms:
  • ·         A confirmation that some business process, such as the creation of a requisition or the entry of an employee's work hours into the database, was accomplished. This message appears by default at the bottom of the initial screen.
  • ·         A display of data from the database. This usually appears on its own output screen.
A good bit of the communication between the SAP R/3 software and the end user is accomplished during Steps 3 and 4 of this SAP workflow via technical object codes.
A technical object is anything that is monitored and tracked by SAP R/3. This includes tangible objects, such as employees, consumable materials, equipment, and physical plants, and intangible ones, such as work orders, purchase requisitions, and shipping orders.
Every technical object has a unique object code, which is assigned to it when its specifications are entered in the SAP database and which is the primary shorthand means of identifying it. There are literally thousands of such codes in every SAPdatabase, but, fortunately, the software provides a way to search for them, so you do not have to memorize or record them.

What is Screen Variant ?

Screen variants are customized versions of initial screens. When SAP is implemented by your SAP administrators, there is always some customization or configuration work performed on the initial screens by computer developers so that the default versions of these screens address the needs and practices of your company. For example, they might program the system to show selected data entry fields on initial screens; to hide the fields for data that are not collected by your company; or to automatically enter default values (such as company codes or dates) in some fields.

SAP BASIS Printing problems : General Issues How to Resolve SAP Printing Problems Print request from SAP R/3 is not printing. Try to print something else from a different application (for instance an email message or a page from Netscape) via the network. If you cannot print at all then the problem is not SAP printing, but the network. If you can print a file from a different application but not from SAP, then the problem is SAP printing and probably not the network. If you have a local IT support provider , report the problem to this person. Tell your IT support provider the four-character printer name, e.g. "wtpr". Remember to give the four-character name of the printer and its location. You can find this information in SAP by looking at your User Profile or opening the Print Screen List screen. the SAP system from which you sent the print request the spool request number displa...
