Many SAP users are still working with Releases 4.x and SAP ERP 5.0,
and some of the transactions became obsolete in SAP ERP 6.0 EhP 4.
For such transactions, we specify what the alternative transaction code
is.
In SAP ERP, sometimes more than one transaction code is available to
execute a particular functionality. In such circumstances, we mention
all the various transaction codes.
Here is a quick look at what will be covered in each chapter:
Chapter 1 explains transaction codes in the Financial Accounting
module, including the following sub modules: Asset Management,
General Ledger, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and Cash
and Funds Management. This chapter does not include many treasury
or financial supply chain management transactions. The transactions
included in the book are intended to meet the organization’s
external/legal reporting requirements and control the consistent and
structured process for recording financial transactions.
Chapter 2 includes the most common transactions in the following sub
modules in the Controlling module: Cost and Profit Center
Accounting, Internal Order and Product Cost Planning, and Cost
Object Controlling and Profitability Analysis. The transactions is this
chapter are intended to meet an organization’s business requirements
for internal and management reporting. The Controlling sub modules
and associated transactions facilitate controlling master data, resource
planning, recording actual business transactions, and flexible reports
and reporting tools.
Chapter 3 explains the transactions associated with Inventory
Management functionality. The chapter includes transactions for
inventory movements, physical inventory, material documents,
inventory analysis, and inventory reporting.
Chapter 4 includes the most common transactions in the Materials
Management module. The chapter includes descriptions for
transactions in a number of areas such as material master data,
vendor master data, purchasing functionality, invoicing, and creating
message outputs.
Chapter 5 explains the transactions associated with the Warehouse
Management module. The chapter includes descriptions for
transactions across the warehouse management component such as
warehouse master data, transfer requirements, transfer orders, cycle
counting, storage unit management, hazardous materials, and
warehouse reporting.
Chapter 6 includes the most common transactions in the Production
Planning module. The chapter includes descriptions of production
planning transactions such as master data, product costing, MRP,
forecasting, production orders, process orders, capacity leveling, and
Kanban.
Chapter 7 explains the transactions in the Sales and Distribution
module for major components such as master data for business
partners and pricing, sales management (which includes quotes,
contracts and sales orders), and shipping and billing. These
transactions are intended to meet the business requirements for the
sales and distribution of materials and services as part of the supply
chain process. For example, the process may start with an
organization taking a quote, contract or sales order with automatic
checking of inventory levels and production/procurement lead times.
Follow-on transactions may result in a delivery document being
created to control the shipping process, such as transportation
planning and goods issue, and this may also result in recognizing
revenue and billing the customer.
Chapter 8 presents transaction codes used in Plant Maintenance.
For example, the chapter explains transaction codes that can be used
to create a Bill of Materials (BOM) or to replace work centers in task
lists. Commonly used reports and analyses are explained as well.
Chapter 9 explains transaction codes used in Quality Management.
In this chapter, we focus on transactions used to create objects related
to Quality Management. Usually, you can use these transaction codes
to edit or to display these objects as well. (Of course, there are
individual transaction codes available to edit and to display these
objects.) We also explain transaction codes that can be used to
generate reports related to Quality Management.
Chapter 10 presents transactions in the Projects Systems module,
including Structuring Projects, Planning and Controlling
Costs/Revenues, Managing Resources/Materials, Confirming Tasks,
Simulating Project Plans and Managing Project Progress/Reporting.
Transactions in this chapter are intended to control all tasks in project
execution, which requires an organizational form that is specific to the
project and that is shared by all departments involved. The projects
system transactions typically represent the internal processes of a
company, where project goals can be described and activities can be
structured.
Chapter 11 provides transaction codes related to Human Capital
Management. Unlike the rest of the chapters, the HCM chapter has
several subsections, organized by functional area, namely
Organizational Management, Personnel Administration, Benefits, Time
Management, Personnel Development, Enterprise Compensation
Management (ECM), SAP Learning Solution (LSO), Travel
Management, Performance Management, Succession Management,
and Payroll. For transaction codes related to Payroll, we have
explained transaction codes that are related to a US Payroll. In a US
Payroll-related transaction code, if you replace the country code 10
with the code designated for your country (for example, 08 for Great
Britain), you can obtain the transaction code for your country.
Chapter 12 presents transaction codes related to the Basis System.
This chapter has the greatest number of transaction codes that are
obsolete in EhP 4. We included those transactions to benefit users of
SAP systems versions 4.x and ERP 5.0. If a transaction code is
obsolete, we specify what the new transaction code is and we mention
the relevant SAP Notes as well.
