- [Instructor] There are some common icons, buttons
and system messages that we encounter often
when we're working in SAP.
Let's take a look at a few.
To demonstrate, we'll enter into a transaction
to change a material.
The T code for this is MM02.
We have two fields available in this transaction,
material and change number.
The red asterisk next to the material field means
that it's a required field.
If we try to continue without entering a valid material,
we will hit a hard stop.
To demonstrate, we'll leave the material field empty
and click continue.
This brings up a red error message in the footer bar.
We can go no further until we fill out
all required entry fields.
We'll enter material FG dash MAT dash zero one
and press continue.
This brings up a list of views to select.
Each view has a checkbox next to it.
Check boxes are used when the system
allows multiple choices.
We can choose as many views as we like here.
Checkbox screens also include select all
and de-select all buttons.
We'll select all our views and de-select all our views.
For our demonstration, we'll select basic data one
and basic data two.
The green check mark is the continue button.
Anytime we see this button,
we can click it or we can press enter on our keyboard.
That brings us to our change material.
In our description field, we see this material
is called small widgets.
This transaction and many other transactions use tabs.
Tabs separate the information in a transaction
where there are many fields.
To navigate between the tabs,
we can click on the tab itself.
We'll click basic data two now.
Or we can click the ellipsis, the three dots.
This will bring up all available tabs.
Then we can choose our tab from this dropdown menu.
We'll click on plant stock tab.
This brings up a dialog box.
Dialogue box is asked for more information
before we can proceed.
We'll enter plant 1710 and press continue.
Let's make a simple change to this material.
We'll change the description from small widgets
to small widgets red.
And we'll click save to save our changes.
We now get a green success message that our material
has been saved successfully.
We've seen the red error message
and the green success message.
There's a third information message that's important.
It is the yellow message.
We're going to hop over to a different transaction
to demonstrate this.
We're now in the create sales order transaction.
We've pre-populated some information
to demonstrate the warning message.
We'll now try to save the sales order by clicking save.
We'll choose a sales area for customer and click continue.
Now we get our yellow warning message.
The yellow warning message here is basically saying,
there probably should be some more information.
It should include the customer's purchase order number
and the customer's reference date.
However, these fields don't have a red asterisk.
They're not required by the system,
so we could press enter and continue on in our transaction.
There are many common icons,
buttons and system messages in SAP.
After spending some time in different transactions,
end users get very familiar with all of their functions.
