Question and answer about PID

What is a PID?

In F1 field-specific help, there is a tab for Technical Information. This tab contains a field’s parameter identifier or PID. Once you have the PID, you can assign a default value to a field.

How can you assign a PID to a user profile?

Follow the menu path System → User profile → Own data to access the Maintain User Profile screen and choose the Parameters tab.

Enter the PID for the field in a blank Parameters field and then enter the value (for example “2006”) in the corresponding Value field.

Save the changes. The new default value will take effect only after you log off and log on again to SAP.

Result: Once the PID is assigned to your user profile, its field will be filled in with the data you assigned whenever you use a transaction that includes that field.

A Caution Regarding PIDs

A Caution Regarding PIDs

The data entered as a default value for the Fiscal year PID will remain assigned until you goes back to change it. This is true for all PIDs you assign to your user profile.

For example, If you have entered entered GJR PID as 2009 for the fiscal year 2010 & if you does not return to update the value for the GJR PID when the year changes to 2011, your Fiscal year field will still populate automatically in all transactions – but with the incorrect year!

Advanced Navigation in SAP HCM

Using Slash Commands


If you were to enter a transaction code by itself in the Command field on any screen other than the Easy Access screen, you would not be able to launch that transaction.

However, if you enter a "/" along with the appropriate command and transaction code you can launch transactions from other transaction screens. This is helpful because you can go directly from one transaction to another without having to return to the Easy Access screen.

"/n" and "/o" are examples of slash commands.

You can either:

    * End a session and go directly to another transaction in a new session using /n
    * Start another transaction in an additional session in one step using /o


      Slash Commands Without Transaction Codes


      Using a slash command without indicating a transaction code in the Command field has additional functions.
    * Entering "/o" in the Command field and clicking Enter will show an overview of the sessions you currently have open.
    * Entering "/n" in the Command field and clicking Enter will end the current transaction and start a new session that will open with the Easy Access Screen.

 Questions :

   1. How do you display the transaction codes on the tree structure?
   2. Where do you enter transaction codes?
   3. What are slash commands and how do they work?
