1.6. FAQ: - How do I gain access to SAP?

1.7. FAQ: - Who is my User Administrator and what can they do?
1.8. FAQ: - How do I access SAP if it says my password is incorrect?
1.9. FAQ: - What do I do if I forget my password?
1.10. FAQ: - What can I do if I'm locked out?
1.11. FAQ: - I am just transferred from one SSA/Area to another do I need another
to have another SAP ID?
Answer: - Depending on the BSNL business needs of your position, you and your
supervisor will determine the kind of access you need. For example, if you are
responsible for accounting, you need access to run financial transaction. For
ordering materials, you need MM or procurement access. If you are responsible for
payroll, you need access to one or several HR/Payroll profiles. Then, you can
contact your User Administrator to create your SAP account which is an employee
id.
Your User Administrator should be listed under your department. Your User
Administrator can sign you up for an SAP ID or can edit your profile. The User
Access can also change a profile for a position/roles and authorization in case you
have been transferred from one place to another. In case you have been transferred,
only roles and authorization shall be changed, SAP user ID will remain same.
In case you trying to login to SAP(Authentic Login) you get the message password
incorrect, first check your caps lock button is not on. Passwords are case sensitive
and must be typed in properly. If you still get the password incorrect message,
contact you system administrator for your password reset.

1.12. FAQ: - What is the Transaction code, what does it refers to?
Answer: - A transaction code is an alpha numeric character command that tells the system
location of a task. Each SAP screen has a unique transaction code. A transaction code
may contain only letters such as ZMPR or a combination of letters and numbers
such as me51.
In SAP, you can use transaction codes as a shortcut or alternative to using the
navigation path to get to a system task. Type /n followed by the transaction code
and press the Enter/Return key.
For example, instead of following the navigation path User Menu >> Role DGM>>
Purchasing >> Requisitions >> Create a Requisition from the SAP User Menu
screen, you can type /nme51 in the Command field of any screen. In either case, the
"Create: Purchase Requisition: Initial Screen" is displayed
1.13. FAQ: - Where should I write the Transaction code to move onto screen?
Answer: - Transaction Code should be entered into Command field;
Command
Field
The Command field is used to enter transaction codes that take you directly to a
system task without using menus. Sometimes the Command field is closed by
default. To open it, click the arrow to the left of the Save button. To use it, type the
transaction code in the blank field to the left and press enter.

1.15. FAQ: - What is the meaning of Required, Default, Input, Grey-out and
Optional fields referring to?
Answer: - SAP has three field types, Required, Default, and Optional:

Required Entry fields are usually flagged with a tick mark . You must enter
data in Required Entry fields in order to proceed with a system task.

Default Entry fields already have a system entry. However, you may be able to
overwrite the system entry depending on the system task and / or your SAP
profile.

Grey-out Fields are those fields in which no data entry or data change is
allowed. These fields might have entry depending upon some other field data or
may be blank.

Input Entry/Optional Entry fields are those in which you may enter data, but an
entry is not required by the system in order to proceed with a system task. Some
Optional Entry fields may become required depending on the values entered in
other fields.

1.16. FAQ: - What is the meaning of status Bar?

Answer: - The Status Bar, located at the bottom of the SAP screen, displays system
messages and other session information.

The large field to the left displays system messages or errors, such as "Make an entry
in all required fields." Double-click on the message or click the red circle and a
dialogue box pops up that explains the message and what action to take.
The second field defaults to display the system information such as system name,
(session number), and (client number). In the example above, the system is PRD, the
session number is (1) and the client number is (500).
If the Status Bar is closed on your PC, click the arrow in the bottom right corner of
the screen to open it.

1.17. FAQ: - What Does SAP user Screen refers to how can I select same?
Answer: - There are one of two main screens you see when you first log on to SAP:

The SAP Menu screen which is the general screen delivered standard with SAP.

The SAP User Menu screen is customized for BSNL transactions and should
be the default screen. It displays at least three main menu folders labeled: 1. User
menu 2. Role (there may be more than one Roles folder) 3. Favorites.

1. The User menu contains the Role folders and is personalized with your name.
2. The Role folder is the area menu such as Role DGM which contains transactions
on the BSNL ERP System navigation menu. You can have more than one Role
folder depending on which area menus you are authorized to use.
3. The Favorites folder can be used to store a list of your "favorites"; i.e., frequently
used transaction codes.

Many entries are available for the field. A number of tabbed screens with different
categories display so that you can enter your search criteria.
3) Calendar search
A calendar-type dialog box is displayed so that you can select day, month, and year.
This is used in date fields such as invoice posting date
Hit List Matchcode: This type of Matchcode is displayed for a list of values. An example is the
Matchcode for the Business Area field on the "Create: Project: Initial Screen.

1.26. FAQ: - How Can I take a Print out from SAP?

1.27. FAQ: - Im not able to take a Print out from SAP?
1.28. FAQ: - I need to take a Print out of a report available in SAP?
Answer: - Getting Hardcopy of SAP Data and Documents
SAP provides hardcopy output of the electronic data and documents stored in the
system via the many SAP reports. The printed reports are formatted and organized
for use on paper.
If you need a hardcopy of your SAP transactions or data, you should use these
reports.

Page 20 of 28

Make sure you know approximately how many pages of output will be printed
by paging through the report on the screen first. You can also use the Print
Preview button available on the Print screen after you click on the Print
button

Make sure you know where you are printing. The default printer in your user
profile is, typically, one close to your office. Your user profile should have a
default printer. If it doesn't, you will be prompted to enter the printer name at
the time you print the report.

When you click the Print button

, you will see a message in the Status Bar with
the print spool number. Write down the print spool number. You may need it if
there is a print problem.

Check the Output device field and make sure that the correct printer name and
location are showing.

1.29. FAQ: - What is the report variant?

1.30. FAQ: - How can I maintain a report variant?
1.31. FAQ: - I have certain fixed parameters in Report, is there any way by which I
can call transaction and execute same without entering any selection
parameter?
1.32. FAQ: - I do not need to see all columns of a report can I get the report which
is specific to my requirements?
1.33. FAQ: - I call up the report but do not want to take print out of all columns,
how can I hide same and take a print?
Answer: -A report variant allows you to save the values that you entered into the
selection fields on a report. Once the variant is saved, it can be used every time the
report is run. To use a previously saved variant, click on the Get Variant button and
select the desired variant. The selection fields of the report are then pre-filled with
the values that were saved when the variant was created or last changed. Each time
you run the report using a variant, you don't need to retype or select all the values in
the fields.
You can create several variants for the same report, each one containing different
values. If you want to use identical selection criteria for multiple reports, for
example, the same range of cost objects, you must create a separate variant for each
