R/3 Transactions
• Transactions form the basis of SAP program processing.
• A transaction is the smallest step that can be executed by the user.
• 4 - 20 character transaction codes are commonly used to quickly access specific screens in SAP.
• Transaction codes are entered in the OK (Command) field in the R/3 System.
• A number of commands are provided to facilitate SAP session management and transaction processing.
Example Transaction Codes:
SE80 - Repository Browser
SE38 - ABAP Editor
SE11 - ABAP Dictionary
SM04 - Overview of Users
OK Field Commands:
/o - Lists user’s sessions
/oxxxx - Creates a new session and starts transaction xxxx

/h - Turns on Debugger mode

at once.• To open a new session, select “Create session” from the
