Sap Bus 1
Sap Bus 1
Main Menu
has three tabs:
The Modules tab
- shows the top of the SAP Business One hierarchy.
- It lists all the modules in SAP Business One. Inside each module is a list of functions. Click on a
function to launch it or to expand it and see more selections.
The Drag & Relate tab
- used for an innovative method of finding transactions linked to master data, as explained later in
this chapter.
The My Menu
- a customizable menu for quick access to your most commonly used functions, similar to
bookmarks in a Web browser. If you don’t see the Main Menu, you can get to it from the menu bar
by choosing Window → Main Menu or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + 0 (zero, not the letter
O).
The Toolbar
- is just below the menu bar.
- It is a collection of icons that provide easy access to commonly used functions. The same functions
are also available as menu options from the menu bar.
The bottom-left area of the status bar displays the following types of messages:
An error message appears over a red background and informs you that the
procedure cannot continue until corrective action is taken.
An information message appears over a blue background and informs you about an
your mouse over a field in the active window. The system information will indicate the
database table name for the field, the field name, index number and form ID. System
information is only active when you enable View→ System Information from the menu bar
The middle of the status bar contains the current date and time as defined in the server.
The top-left area displays important information about the active window. For example,
when you move your cursor over an input field, text describing the input format and length
appears.
The four boxes on the right-hand side of the status bar allow you to show data from up to
four specific fields that you can select. The data is based on the reusable master data you
selected and is updated depending on the active window. For example, to display the
business partner balance in the status bar, open the customer master data window and drag
the balance field using the left mouse click onto one of the boxes in the status bar. For drop
down list fields, hold down the CTRL key first. Now, whenever you create a transaction for
any business partner, the corresponding balance will appear in the status bar. To remove this
selection, hold down the ALT key and click the status bar box.
