Entering Data
Data is information entered into a field in SAP.
Data can be entered as either an insert or an overwrite in data
entry fields. It is important to know which mode of entry you are in
before you attempt to enter data:
When in Insert Mode, new data is added to the data already in a field. To
replace the data, highlight it and press the Delete key on your keyboard
When in Overwrite Mode, new data replaces the data currently in the field
(an example is entering your password on the logon screen)
You can determine which mode you are in by looking at the status bar
at the bottom of the screen.
INS = Insert
OVR = Overwrite

Creating Variants
Variants are short-cuts to save time from entering or selecting the same
information each time you execute certain transactions or reports
Using variants will lead to more consistent, accurate, and timely
information from the SAP system
The same process is used to set up a variant for each transaction code.
Based on the transaction code, the field options or selection indicators
may change slightly
For certain reports or transactions, pre-defined variants may have been
set up for use at Tarrant County. See the Quick Reference Card for that
report or transaction to get the name of those Master variants
A master variant can be used as is or as a template to create your own
personal variant. You should first check to see if a master variant can be
used before you create a personal variant from scratch
36
Creating Variants
(contd)
One is the standard SAP menu which displays all folders and transactions
in SAP. You will see all SAP transactions; but depending on the role you
have been assigned, you will have access to only specific transactions
within this menu.
The other menu path is a role-based menu customized specifically for your
role and containing only those transactions to which you have access.
