Part 1: We'll cover a topic related to Transaction Codes.

How to find out T-Code of any of IMG Nodes in SAP – A Storytelling approach !

 

Target Audience: Consulting

Level: Basic

Complexity: Simple

Background and Motivation :

Case 1: Implementation project:

One needs to prepare Key Data Structure (KDS) during Business Blue print phase just before starting configuration in Realization phase.

In an ideal KDS T-Code must be  present for the completeness of the document

Case 2: AMS project:

It’s sometimes required to quickly jump into a particular IMG node instead of traversing through entire SPRO path of any of the SAP Modules

It’s more critical if you are in an Application Maintenance and Support (AMS) project and you have limited resources to work for and defined SLA to achieve.

Story :

Mr.Nikon works as an Analyst in one of the Big4 Consulting firms at Gurugram, India.

He has been assigned a task to prepare  KDS for SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) at one of the top of the Music Industries in India  .

He needs to identify T-Code of below particular nodes in HCM :

  • Personnel area

  • Personnel Subarea

  • Employee Group

  • Employee Subgroup

  • Assignment of Personnel Area to Company Code

  • Assign employee subgroup to Employee group

Mr Nikon has to fill T-Code in above sheet.

He is new to HCM module and reaches out to his mentor Ms.Canon. She is the SAP Community Advocate of SAP Communty Network in Gurugram chapter along with her full time job at a Prodcut based company as SAP Manager

 

Let’s see how Ms.Canon guides Mr.Nikon in identifying T-Codes for above nodes

 

Ms. Canon : Nikon, Don’t worry. It’s very simple !!!

Select any one of below IMG Nodes :

  • Personnel area

  • Personnel Subarea

  • Employee Group

  • Employee Subgroup

  • Assignment of Personnel Area to Company Code

  • Assign employee subgroup to Employee group


 

After that go to IMG activity as below screen shot
