Before you log on, you need to know the definition of the term “client.”
SAP systems are client systems. With the client concept several separate
companies can be managed in one system at the same time.
Clients are the highest organizational level in the system. In business terms,
each client can represent a group of companies, a company, or a firm – Client
regardless of the size of the organization.
In commercial, organizational and technical terms, a client is therefore a self-
contained unit with separate master records and its own set of tables. In SAP
systems, different clients are identified by their client numbers.
Logon screen
Use the client number given by your instructor. For you to be able to log on
as a user, a user master record must be created for you in the relevant client.
For reasons of access protection, you must enter a password when you log
on. Your password entry is case-sensitive.
SAP systems are multilingual. Choose the language for your session in the
Language field. Then choose or Enter.
Enter the user name, the initial password and the logon language given by
your lecturer.
When you log on for the first time, a dialog box appears in which you enter
your new individual password twice.
