T-code

A T-code is a transaction code used whenever executing particular task . Each function in SAP ERP has an SAP transaction code associated with it .^[1]

Use

A transaction code is used to access functions or running programs (including executing ABAP code)^[2] in the SAP application more rapidly. By entering a t-code instead of using the menu, navigation and execution are combined into a single step, much like shortcuts in the Windows OS. SAP transaction codes can be entered into the Transaction code field to navigate the user directly to the screen or program task bypassing the SAP menu.

Example

Users can create a new session and start a new transaction in one step by entering /o followed by the transaction code e.g. /oFB60.^[3]

Example Transaction codes

MM01 creation of Material Master

XK01(BP) Creation of Vendor Master

XD01(BP) creation of Customer Master

FB60 Accounts Payable Invoice Entry

FB65 Accounts Payable Credit Note Entry

FK10N Display Accounts Payable Balances

Here's an example of a transaction code written in ABAP, which is a programming language used in SAP systems: ``àbap DATA: lv_sender_account TYPE string,

     lv_recipient_account TYPE string,
     lv_amount TYPE p DECIMALS 2.

lv_sender_account = '123456'. lv_recipient_account = '789012'. lv_amount = 100.00.

START-OF-SELECTION.

 PERFORM transfer_funds.

FORM transfer_funds.

 DATA: lv_success TYPE abap_bool.

 DATA: lt_account TYPE TABLE OF account,
       ls_sender TYPE account,
       ls_recipient TYPE account.

 SELECT * FROM account INTO TABLE lt_account
   WHERE account_number = lv_sender_account
      OR account_number = lv_recipient_account.

 READ TABLE lt_account WITH KEY account_number = lv_sender_account INTO ls_sender.
 READ TABLE lt_account WITH KEY account_number = lv_recipient_account INTO ls_recipient.

 IF ls_sender IS INITIAL OR ls_recipient IS INITIAL.
   WRITE: 'Invalid account number(s)'.
   EXIT.
 ENDIF.

 PERFORM deduct_amount USING: ls_sender-account_number, lv_amount CHANGING ls_sender-balance.
 PERFORM add_amount USING: ls_recipient-account_number, lv_amount CHANGING ls_recipient-balance.

 UPDATE account FROM TABLE lt_account.

 IF sy-subrc = 0.
   lv_success = abap_true.
 ENDIF.

 IF lv_success = abap_true.
   COMMIT WORK.
   WRITE: 'Transaction successful!'.
 ELSE.
   ROLLBACK WORK.
   WRITE: 'Transaction failed!'.
 ENDIF.

ENDFORM.

FORM deduct_amount USING p_account_number TYPE string

                          p_amount TYPE p DECIMALS 2
                    CHANGING p_balance TYPE p DECIMALS 2.
 LOOP AT lt_account ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<ls_account>) WHERE account_number = p_account_number.
   <ls_account>-balance = <ls_account>-balance - p_amount.
 ENDLOOP.

ENDFORM.

FORM add_amount USING p_account_number TYPE string

                       p_amount TYPE p DECIMALS 2
                 CHANGING p_balance TYPE p DECIMALS 2.

ENDFORM.

``` To run a transaction code (Tcode) in an SAP system, follow these steps:

   Log in to the SAP system using your user credentials.
   On the SAP Easy Access screen or the SAP Menu screen, locate the command field at the top of the screen. It is usually denoted by a magnifying glass icon or labeled as "Command" or "Tcode."
   Enter the desired Tcode into the command field. Tcodes are typically four characters long and consist of alphanumeric characters (e.g., "ME21N" or "FB50").
   Press Enter or click the green checkmark icon next to the command field.
   The SAP system will navigate to the transaction screen associated with the entered Tcode. This screen allows you to perform the specific task or process related to that Tcode.
   Fill in the required fields, select appropriate options, and provide necessary data as per the transaction's requirements.
   Once you have entered all the necessary information, click the save button (usually represented by a floppy disk icon) or choose an appropriate option to execute the transaction.
   The SAP system will process the transaction based on the entered data and display the relevant output or confirmation message.
