amount of customer reports for their day-to-day use, they may want to include
these reports in the SAP menu.
Follow these steps to include a report menu in the SAP Easy Access Menu:
1. Create your own area menu using transaction code SE43. While saving, you
will need to assign the proper development class. The system will then create
a transport request for your area menu.
2. Now you will need to include your new area menu in the SAP Easy Access
area menu (transaction code S000). Use transaction code SE43, enter transaction
code S000 in the Area menu field, and click on the Change icon. A pop-up
window will appear with three options: Extend, Change, and Cancel. Choose
Extend and click on to create a new enhancement ID or use an existing
enhancement ID.
3. In the Edit Area Menu S000 screen, use the icons to add your area menu
and save. The system will create another transport request.
4. Now log off and log on again; you will find your new menu in the SAP Easy
Access Menu.
Similarly, you can extend the IMG menu through transaction code
S_IMG_EXTENSION.
10. What do you do with errors in batch data conversion (BDC) sessions?
You use BDC to post data into SAP solutions with the help of the system.
Sometimes, while posting data through BDC, the system will encounter problems
and cannot post data. When the system encounters a problem, it will
create BDC error sessions. The following are common reasons for BDC error
sessions:
■ Posting periods are locked
■ Changes in master data, e.g., in general ledger (G/L) accounts, profit centers
are locked for posting
■ Changes in screen layout of SAP program
These scenarios are only examples; there may be several reasons for errors. To
process incorrect BDC sessions, you need to find out the reasons for these error
sessions. The easiest way to do this is to analyze the BDC log. In transaction code
SM35, select the BDC sessions in question and click on the log. The Batch input:
Log Overview screen will appear; double-click on any of the rows of the Log Overview
tab to see an error screen. After analyzing the error, fix it and process the BDC
sessions.
