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 :

- Employee Subgroup
- Assignment of Personnel Area to Company Code
- Assign employee subgroup to Employee group
