GFEBS uses command codes, transaction codes (T-codes) and 
shortcuts to relay instructions to the system. T-codes and 
command codes are slightly different. 

AT-code is a unique identifier attached to each transaction in 
SAP. A command code is the text typed into the Command field in 
order to access a transaction. It consists of the T-code when the 
user is on the home screen (the SAP Easy Access Menu) or of the 
T-code and a prefix if the user is currently working within a 
transaction. 



With any system, shortcuts are popular with users. These 

shortcuts are keys or key combinations that command the system 

to take action. WiJthirtG FEELS, the shortcutishown below are

Types of Transaction Codes 


GFEBS uses numerous T-codes. Some will become familiar to 
the user due to frequency of use. Those T-codes are 
recommended for the user's Favorites list. The following hints 
may assist in understanding T-codes that are less familiar. These 


ending in:

When processing or saving transactions, the Status bar will return 
different messages in the Status Bar at the lower left-hand corner of the 
sr roon deluding: 

Information messages: these messages indicate that the 

entry has been accepted and is displayed as a 
green button with a lower case letter I in it. 





Warning messages: these messages indicate that the data 

may contain errors but does not prevent you from 
processing a transaction. Warning messages are 
displayed as a yellow button with an exclamation 
(“I") mark. 

Error messages: these messages indicate that there is a 

mistake that must be corrected before you can 
proceed to the next screen. Error messages are 
displayed as a red button with an exclamation point 
(“I"). GFEBS will not let you continue until you 
correct the entry. 







When processing a transaction, the system will notify the user if input 
data is missing, inaccurate or it fails system checks prior to processing. 
The user will be unable to save the work unless these indicators are 
cleared by making additional input or the necessary corrections. The 
Icon may appear in multiple portions of the transactions screen; all errors 
must be cleared prior to saving the transaction. These errors are also 
hf ^ rt n as “Hard Stops". 

® Ilf this icon is present in any field, the user must make the necessary 
corrections
