- [Instructor] Oftentimes, we're going to want to do
multiple things in SAP at once.
Now, we're going to look at how to use multiple sessions
and navigate from within transactions in the SAP GUI.
We can have up to six sessions open at one time.
To open a new session,
we go to the three lines in the top left corner,
click and select new GUI window from the dropdown menu.
We can now see that we have two SAP,
easy access screens available
meaning we have two SAP sessions open.
Once we're in a transaction,
transaction code navigation changes a little bit.
We're going to enter into display a sales order
with transaction code va03.
Maybe we realized what we need to do instead is display
a purchase order.
The T code for displaying a purchase order is me23n.
We'll try to enter that T code directly
in our command field without going back
to the SAP easy access screen
and press enter.
The system gives us a red error message telling us
we must fill out all our required fields first.
There are two important codes to remember in this situation.
The first is /n as in November.
We must type forward slash and n
and then the T code immediately after.
So we type /n then the T code me23n
and press enter.
Now, we're taken into the display
purchase order transaction.
The other important code to remember
is used to open a new session in a new transaction.
This code is /o as in Oscar.
So if we want to display a purchase order in one session,
and we want to open another session
where we're displaying a sales order,
we can type /ova03.
We now have multiple SAP sessions
with different transactions open in each of them.
Remember, /n navigates to a new transaction
in the same session and /o opens a new transaction
in a new session.
