Before You Start: It is strongly recommended that you read through the entire exercise you are working on prior to starting work in the system. READ CAREFULLY! Each step and additional information/instructions were put there for a reason ! This can help avoid a lot of confusion and hours of extra work for yourself. Read through the exercise to try and understand what you are trying to accomplish, look at the big picture. Important Symbols: An arrow highlights an important instruction that must not be overlooked. A pencil prompts you to write down an important piece of information. Identifiers: You will be assigned by your professor a unique Identifier. This will be ASSIGNED FOR YOUR OWN USE ONLY!!! Your Identifier is used to differentiate your company, your products, and your work from other students. The ### Symbol: ### is the placeholder for your Identifier in the assignments. When you see ### replace ### with Your Identifier. For example, if Alec has an identifier of 109 and Alec sees RHMT1###, Alec will enter RHMT1109 into the system. 1: What is your Identifier? 475 2: If you saw EPAD1### what would you input into the system? EPAD1475 3: What does a red arrow mean? it highlights an important instruction that must not be overlooked 4: What does a Pencil mean?

Always work with your data. You have access to other student’s materials and if you do not use your own Identifier you affect another student’s work. Please be cautious about other classmates attempting to use your identifier. Whether it is on purpose or not. If you suspect other classmates using it, inform your professor immediately so that fixes can be made accordingly. Tables: In each exercise, you will have input fields that need to be filled in. This is information the system needs to perform what you are requesting it to do. These will be given to you in the form of tables with three columns. The first column is called the Attribute column; this column is the name of the field. The second column is the Description column; this tells you about the Attribute. The final column is the Data Value column; this column tells you what to enter into the input field. Attribute Description Data Value Chapter 02-01: Introduction to SAP Page 4 of 74 © 2017 Epistemy Press, LLC.
Differences in Font: Text with different fonts will be used in the Data Value column of tables. The different fonts will require you to do different things. The normal Times New Roman indicates you enter exactly what is typed out except for the ### Symbol where you would put in your identifier. The italicized Times New Roman font indicates the data is looked up, found, or otherwise not to be entered literally as written. You will learn to search for information later in this exercise Attribute Description Data Value Times New Roman Font that tells you to enter what is written.

Each exercise will ask you what the Transaction Code or T-Code for that transaction is. T-codes are a short code you can type into the command field to go straight to the transaction. T-Codes are extremely important for business professionals because it cuts down on time by eliminating the need to go through the menu path. While the menu path is important, it is not as important for your everyday business professional that may only use a few transactions. Once you set this up the first time you will not have to do it again. It is recommended that you follow these instructions and set this up now before you start the next exercises. If you are in the last transaction, you will click the back button or the exit button and this will return you to the SAP Access Menu.

(Red) Error Messages: Red Error Messages indicate that something is stopping the transaction from being completed. These messages need to be corrected to proceed through the exercises. 2. (Yellow) Warning Messages: Yellow Warning Messages contain warnings and are there to tell you about some sort of information that may be helpful later, or warn you about the possible effects of what you are about to do. At times, these must be fixed to move on. However, most of the time, they do not need to be fixed and you can simply press enter to cancel them and go through them. Use your best judgement to determine what needs to be done. 3. (Green) Confirmation Messages: Green messages show that nothing went wrong with the transaction and that you may proceed to the next task. These messages will contain information you will want to write down and take note of. This section will help to familiarize you further with the different system messages by having you produce each type and figure out how to get past it.

Once you click the enter button or press “enter” on your keyboard, the system checks to ensure that you have entered all the data that is required in the document. If you have not, it will ask you to enter valid data into each field, ONE BY ONE, through messages. After entering data into the designated field, you must PRESS ENTER AGAIN to move on to check the system for more messages. Once you have filled in all the required information, the rest of the fields in the screen will unlock. Then you can edit the fields as you could before you initially clicked enter and received the messages. In this case, the other fields may never have locked but it is important to understand this concept for later exercises. You want to use this technique before you save EVERY DOCUMENT. It is extremely important to NOT proceed and save a document if there are errors in the document. A faulty document will create more errors and a lot more work for yourself in later exercises.

If you need more information or want more information about a message, you can click on the message to open the help guide. Step: 1.1.58: Double click on the error message.
