What is a transaction code (T-code) in SAP?
A transaction code is a short alphanumeric shortcut (like VA01 for creating a sales
order, or SE38 for the ABAP editor) that takes you directly to a specific SAP function or screen,
without needing to navigate through menus manually.
// typed into the SAP GUI's command field: /nVA01 // creates a new sales order, ending any current transaction first /oMM01 // opens material master creation in a new session
T-codes are the primary way experienced SAP users navigate the system quickly, and they're specific to
whatever function they represent — some are standard, delivered by SAP, while custom transaction codes
can also be created for custom-developed programs. The /n and /o prefixes control
whether the new transaction replaces the current session or opens an additional one.
What does a transaction code let you do?
What does prefixing a T-code with /o do?
