SAP ABAP Finding and Running Programs

SAP ABAP Finding and Running Programs

Finding and Running programs in SAP is a fairly simple process. Every one know the transaction code SE38 The ABAP Editor. If you have forgotten the program name but you know that it starts with ZSales then you can type the ZSALES* in the transaction SE38 Program Input field and press F4 or the drop down button. You will then be presented with all the programs that have 'ZSALES' as the first 6 characters in their name.

You can also use the Transaction SA38 ABAP EXECUTE PROGRAMS to run programs. Mainly this transaction is used by the Users who do not want to edit/modify or create a new program.

Transaction SA38 does have options to execute the program with variant and in the back ground mode.

_______________________________________________________________

In case you wish to find a program either because you have forgotten the name or you are just looking for a report existing in the system, then you can use any of the Transactions mentioned above. Transaction SE38 has more flexibility.

Let us examine Transaction SE38 for the different options available for finding a program.

Transaction SE38 THE ABAP EDITOR

To find a Program in SAP ABAP goto Utilities >>>>> Find Program (CTRL+SHIFT+F4)

Once you are there you can either enter the Program name or Short Description or development class. All the programs with the same description and development class would be displayed depending on what you had entered.

Finding ABAP Program names based on the following criterion.

Program Author
Last Changed By
Changed On
Program Type
Status
Application
Logical Database
Authorization Group
Only Editor Lock Active
Fixed Point Arithmetic Only

This can be easily achieved by clicking the 'ALL SELECTIONS ' Button (SHIFT+F7)

SAP Tool Based Reports

SAP Tool Based Reports

One of the Tool used to generate reports in SAP is given below.

• Report Painter and Report Writer

SAP Report Writer and Report Painter:

This tool can be accessed as follows.

SAP Menu >>>> Information Systems >>>> Ad Hoc Reports >>>> Report Painter

Under Report Painter you have the following Options

Report (GRR1 Create, GRR2 Change, GRR3, Display, GR34 Delete)
Model  (GRR4 Create, GRR5 Change, GRR6 Display)
Utilities
  Catalog
  Transport
Report Writer
  Set
  Variable
  Key Figures
  Standard Layout
  Library
  Report
  Report Group
  

Note: Instead of using ABAP code to write a report in FI and CO, Transaction MC27 is used by a lot of consultants to build a report by using Report Painter/ Report Writer library.  Transaction  GRCT has many advantages over MC27 in most cases, and eliminates the need to use transaction MC27.

SAP Goods Movement

SAP Goods Movement

In SAP goods are moved in different locations. There are transactions that are responsible for carrying out the Goods Movement.  For carrying out goods movement the following need to be understood. Goods Receipt, Goods Issue, Stock Transfer, Transfer Posting.

SAP Goods Receipt:

When goods are received from a vendor or from production and a posting is carried out in SAP, then it is known as a  Goods Receipt (GR). Once a Goods Receipt is performed the Ware House Stock is increased.

Goods Issue:

Goods going out are termed as goods Issue. Basically it can be of the following type.

• Material Issue
• Material Withdrawal
• Material Consumption
• Shipment of Goods

Once the posting is carried out in SAP , Goods Issue results in Reduction of Stock.

Stock Transfer:

The movement of goods internally from one place to another is termed as stock transfer. This can be between Storage Location to Storage Location, Warehouse to Warehouse or between Bins, between same plants or between different plant.

Transfer Posting:

Some examples of Transfer Postings are as follows.

Material to Material, Release from Quality Inspection Stock, Transfer of consignment in companies own stock. A transfer posting may or may not carry out a physical movement of goods.
