Logging on to the R/3 System

 Logging on to the R/3 System

From the Windows Start menu choose SAP Front-end, and finally SAP logon-Pad. The SAPgui Logon screen appears. Enter the logging information in the fields in that screen and press Enter:

 

1.   Client number:           

2.   User name:                 

3.   Password:                   

 

If your username/password is valid for the client number that you have supplied the R/3 system displays a dialog box with system welcome message. (Note that if this is the first time you log on to the system, you will be asked to change your initial password). Click on the green check mark or press the Enter key to proceed. If your username/password is invalid the system will present an error message and ask you to re-enter the data.

 

The next screen is the Start screen from which you can access to all the R/3 functions permitted on your account. Your permitted functions have been organized into the following main folders: Overview, Development, Test, and Utilities.

 

Logging off from the R/3 System

There are three ways to log off from the R/3 system.

1.     Choose the menu path: System, then Logoff, from the main menu bar on the top of any R/3 screen; or

2.     Click on the Close icon on the frame of your R/3 window; or

3.     Enter /nend in the command field of the standard toolbar (on the top right hand corner of the screen).

 

In each case the system will display a dialog box warning you that ‘Unsaved data will be lost. Do you really want to log off?’ Choose the ‘Yes’ pushbutton to continue the log off process. Choose the Cancel pushbutton to return to your session.
