You have two ways to get into a transaction screen. Either you use a transaction code or the sap menu path. To use sap menu path you always need to go back to the starting point of either sap easy access menu or SAP IMG Menu. For all these problems SAP has a solution by using this you can transfer between screens without going back to the menu screen again and again. For each transaction in SAP, you have a transaction code which can be entered at the command bar to get into the transaction screen directly. Followings are the list of short codes which can be used along with the transaction code;
Short code | Description |
/n | By using /n in front of any transaction code you can directly move from one screen to another. If you want to go the controlling area setting then type /nOKKP in the command bar. |
/o | /O is used in front of a transaction code if you want the new transaction code to be opened in a new screen |
/XXXX | If you are in the sap easy access menu and want to go to a transaction code then you can type the tcode directly instead of putting /n in front of it. XXXX represents the transaction code. |
