Figure 161: ListofFavoritesand Role-Based UserMenu

User Menu and Favorites

The user menu is a menu that contains a limited selection of task-specific

functions. It represents the working environment of a user. It can consist of

transactions, reports, and Internet addresses. The user menu is created by the

system administrator in the context of roles for user groups. When a user is

assigned to a role, he/she can work with their respective user menu and the

authorizationslinkedtoitintheSAPsystem. Dependingonthesystemsettings,

youcanswitchbetweenarole-basedusermenuandanSAPmenu. Todoso,from

the menu bar on the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Menu → SAP Menu or

Menu → User Menu.

YoucanalsousethefunctionsinthefavoritesarealocatednexttotheSAPmenu

or the user menu. The favorites list is empty to start with, but can be changed

individually by each end user; the datain the favorites list is then visible only

for thisuser. Inadditiontotransactions, theenduser canstorelinkstoInternet

addresses and data from their front-end computer as favorites. An improved

Unit12: Appendix SCM600

You have various options for editing favorites. Generally, you can edit the

favoritesontheSAPEasyAccessscreenunderthemenuFavorites. Thevarious

optionsareshown in the example “Add transactionfrom the SAP menuto the

favoriteslist”. (Withtheexceptionofthelastvariant, itisalwaysassumedthat

• UseDrag&Droptodragthetransactiontothefavoriteslist.

• Selectthetransaction,andfromthemenubar,chooseFavorites→Add.

• ClickthetransactionwiththerightmousebuttonandchooseAddtofavorites

from the context menu.

• Selectthetransactionandchoose Addtofavoritesfromtheapplication

toolbar.

• Fromthemenubar, chooseFavorites→InsertTransactionandenterthe

transaction code of the transaction.

Because the data for the favorites is stored within the SAP system, another

collectionoffavoritesisavailabletoeachuserindifferentsystems. Itis,however,

simple to copy complete favorites menus from one SAP system to another by

downloading and uploading. The downloaded favorites menus are stored for

further processing in the front-end PC.
