Area Menu

Former Member — Wed, 18 Oct 2006 19:26:27 GMT

Hi all,

I am upgrading SAP from 3.1I to ECC5.0 version.

In 3.1I, I am having an Area Menu with buttons on Menu bar, and in new version same Area Menu is havng with Tree structure with nodes.

When I am exiting from Area Menu in new version with /N, it is going to initial SAP R/3 system and again if I type the Area Menu name in OKCODE at initial R/3 system, it is jumping into old version Area Menu screen which is having buttons.

Can anyone please tell me what the reason and suggest the solution how to go for it.

thanks

Rakesh

Hi,

The below is what I got from SAP Help.

The CUA area menus are converted to tree navigation in Release 4.6A. The menu contents are automatically copied into a new data structure in Upgrade to Release 4.6A or higher. You can edit Area Menus with a new maintenance interface (Area Menu maintenance transaction: SE43 ).

Reporting Tree Integration

Only transactions could previously be put in Area Menus. From Release 4.6A you can also put all the types of reports which are in reporting trees, in Area Menus. The system automatically assigns a transaction code to call the report from the menu. If you have already put the report in another Area Menu, no new transaction code is generated, the unique transaction code already assigned is used.

You can create Area Menus from complete reporting trees with the migration transaction RTTREE_MIGRATION . The report transaction codes are generated automatically.

Reporting trees can only be displayed. They cannot be maintained. To modify the contents of reporting trees, you must convert them with the migration transaction. You can then modify the contents with the Area Menu maintenance.

Thanks Ramakrishna,

It is maintained in Tree structure in ECC5.0, but when I exit from Area Menu with /N it is getting jumped to intital SAP R/3 system. Till here it is fine.

But again if I type same Area Menu name at OKCODE there(at initial SAP R/3 system screen), it is jumping into Old version Area Menu with Buttons at Menu bar instead of going to new version Area menu with Tree.

can u suggest solution for navigating to new version Area Menu from there?

thanks

Hi,

It is project related Area Menu(ZCUS), and it is not the case with other Area Menus.

thanks

Hi,

ZCUS is custom area menu.

I think you need to migrate custom area menus usig the below transaction.

You can create Area Menus from complete reporting trees with the migration transaction RTTREE_MIGRATION . The report transaction codes are generated automatically.

I am not sure about this.

Thanks,

Ramakrishna
