The SAP GUI and SAP Log On


You can access SAP systems using front-end programs with a variety of designs. All SAP components
are, however, accessible using a general front-end program, the SAP Graphical User Interface (SAP
GUI). SAP GUI is the standard program for accessing almost all SAP solutions. Several variants of
the SAP GUI are available; these variants are all graphically equivalent, but adapted for use in
different environments. For the sake of simplicity, additional descriptions refer to the SAP GUI for the
Windows environment.

Logon Process
Before you log on for the first time, your system administrator will give you an initial
password. During the process of logging on, you should enter a new password, one that you
alone will know. After that, use your own password whenever you log on.
Note: These procedures may differ somewhat at your company. For more information, contact your
system administrator.

Multiple Logon and Multiple Session


There are two ways to open two SAP systems.
- Multiple logons : creates a brand new logon for you. You should only be logged on once per
SAP system, and should use multiple sessions if you want to view multiple windows.
- Multiple sessions : allows you to open several windows at the same time on the same
computer.
The SAP system tracks multiple logons as of SAP R/3 4.6. The primary reasons for tracking multiple
logons are security and licensing.

Navigating in the SAP System


Screen Structure
The SAP Easy Access screen is the default initial screen in SAP systems. The left side of the screen
contains a tree hierarchy of the menus available to you in the SAP system; you can use the right side
of the screen to display your company logo. This graphic is made available centrally by your system
administrator and cannot be customized by individual users.
An SAP screen can contain the following simple screen elements:
- Command field
- Menu bar
- Standard Toolbar
- Title bar
- Application toolbar
- Checkboxes
- Radio buttons
- Tab
- Status bar
Using Help Features
While working in the system, you may encounter questions such as what values are available for a
specific field, what is the meaning of a field, or what procedure to use to complete a transaction? In
this lesson, we will introduce the various types of online help available in the system and develop an
understanding of how to search for information.

Help Features
The SAP system provides comprehensive online help. You can display the help from any screen in the
system. You can always request help using the Help menu or using the relevant icon. The Help menu
contains the following options:

Application help
Application help displays comprehensive help for the current application. Selecting this menu option
in the initial screen displays help on getting started with SAP.

SAP Library
All online documentation can be found here.

Glossary
You can search for definitions of terms in the glossary.

Release notes
This displays notes that describe functional changes that occur between SAP system releases.

SAPNet
This enables you to log on to SAPNet.

Feedback
Feedback enables you to send a message to the SAPNet front end, the SAP service system.

Settings
Settings enable you to select settings for help.

Field Help
Use F1 for help on fields, menus, functions, and messages. F1 help also provides technical
information on the relevant field, including, for example, the parameter ID, which you can use to
assign values to the field for your user.
