A Word of Warning!

SAP Document Principle

• Each business transaction that writes data to the
  database creates a uniquely numbered electronic
  document
• Each document contains information such as
• Responsible person
• Date and time of the transaction
• Commercial content
• Once created, a document can not be deleted from
  the database

SAP vs. MS Office
Database and Application Server
Nothing is saved on your PC. Only things saved
on our server in Chico are saved, and they are
saved for good.
12
Saving in Windows vs. SAP

• In Window Applications, you save often so you
  dont lose everything when you get the Blue
  Screen of Death

13
Saving in Windows vs. SAP

• In SAP, there are very few delete options
• Dont save if things dont look 100 correct!
  Exit the transaction and start over.

Changing data in SAP

• In SAP, you have options available if you need to
  correct and change data. Sometimes this option
  is labeled Change as seen below and in other
  instances it may be labeled Maintain.

16
Displaying data in SAP

• In SAP, sometimes the safest thing to do is to
  simply display data you already created before
  making changes. To do that, simply select the
  Display option. Displaying protects you from
  making any accidental changes.
