Creating your own SAP Customized Main Menu

You can add additional menu transaction in the SAP main menu without affecting the original SAP default area menu S000.

For example, you have created a transaction code called ( z123 - ABC Own Report ) and you want to insert it under Logistics. The specific user will be able to access ABC Own Report by clicking Logistics -> ABC Own Report.

Steps :-

Goto Transaction SE43 - Area Menu

Click the copy button. Copy from S000 to ZXXX

After copying, click Change (area menu ZXXX)

Double click on Logistics and add in your transaction code in the AreaMenu.

Remembers to Activate it.

Next Goto Transaction SU01 - Maintain users

Type in the user name and click the Defaults button

Type in the area menu (ZXXX) in the Start Menu field.

Click Save

The user will be able to see the additional transaction on the next logon

hi,

Area menu is nothing but a menu which will have a collection of all the logical transaction codes together. For example, WEDI is a area menu that will have all the ALE/IDOC transactions.

SE43 is the transaction to create a area menu and it will have a transaction code associated with it. When you execute that transaction, it will display all the transactions that you have included with in that area menu.
