SAP logon screen



• The R/3 System is a client system. The client concept enables the joint operation inone system, of several enterprises that are independent of each other in businessterms. During each user session you can only access the data of the client selectedduring the logon.

• A Client is in organizational terms ,an independent unit in the R/3 System .Eachclient has its own data environment and therefore its own master data andtransaction data, assigned user master records and charts of accounts, and specificcustomizing parameters.

• A user master Record linked to the relevant client must be created for users to beable to log on to the system.

• To protect access ,a password is required for logon. The password is hidden as youtype (You only see asterisks)

• SAP Systems are available in several languages. Use the Language input field toselect the logon language for each session.

• Multiple logons are always in the system beginning with Release 4.7. This is for

security as well as licensing reasons. A warning message appears if the same userattempts to log on twice or more. This message offers three options:

– Continue with current logon and end any other logons in the system.

– Continue with current logon without ending any other logons in the system

– Terminate current logon.
