This will bring up another screen that will list all

➨ This will bring up another screen that will list all the locations “Display Balances” appears
in the SAP menu. Use the scroll bar on the right side of the screen to see all the available
options. Notice that you can access the same screen by using different transaction
codes. The reason for this is that multiple job positions may have to access this
information (accountants, sales representative, credit managers, etc.). The seventh
listing is the transaction code that you have used in this exercise thus far within the
system.

Some steps will ask you to use the Display/Change
button . It is important to use this button because
when you change the screen from Change to Display it doesn’t allow any changes to be made in
the screen. If you are in a cross-company screen that affects everyone it is good to view this
screen in the display mode so that you don’t accidentally affect something that affects
everyone’s work.
