- [Instructor] Now that we've logged on to SAP,
we're here on the SAP easy access screen.
To do anything in SAP,
we need to enter into what is called a transaction.
Transactions can be entered using two methods.
First, transaction codes can be entered
in our command field.
The other way to enter a transaction is using the menu tree.
In our SAP menu screen,
the folders and their associated transactions
are organized by business area.
Let's imagine that we are looking
for accounts receivable transactions
so we can post incoming payments.
We're going to use the SAP menu tree to drill down
to find the appropriate transaction.
First, we'll expand the accounting folder.
Then we'll expand the financial accounting folder.
Here, we see the accounts receivable folder
and can expand that.
Again, we want to post incoming payments.
This transaction is under document entry,
so we'll expand that folder.
Here, we see F-28 incoming payments.
To enter this transaction, we'll double-click on that line.
We have now entered the post incoming payments transaction
using the SAP menu tree.
The menu tree is one effective way
to drill down by business area
and navigate to our needed transaction.
