Navigating With the Menu Folders

To navigate to the initial screen of a transaction with menu folders, start at the root folder in the structure and open or expand a succession of folders and subfolders until you find its link, then double-click it to jump to the initial screen.

You can expand a folder in one of two ways:

• Click the control arrow (Figure 5.2B) of a folder to its open (down) position, or
  
  Double-click the folder name.
  
  

For example, to call up the initial screen for the Display HR Master Data (PA20) transaction, you must open in succession the SAP menu, Human Resources, Personnel Management, Administration, and HR Master Data Folder, then double-click the PA20 - Display link (C).

This succession of folders and links is called the menu path for the transaction. It is written in this format throughout this book:

Root folder > Folder 1 > Folder 2 etc. > Transaction link

For example, the menu path for the PA20 - Display transaction would read:

SAP > Human Resources > Personnel Management > Administration > HR Master Data > PA20 - Display
