A colleague brought this to my attention recently as we were brain storming solutions for a customer request. I had assumed that a programmer would be required when asked to change the tab sequence on a custom screen that we had previously created. I was wrong. The SAP GUI Tab Order can be changed!
While I have been neglecting the posting of updates on my two avocado plants, I have not been neglecting the plants themselves. They have grown quite a bit; the larger tree is about 12″ tall and the other is about 9″ in height. Since posting Part 2 of my experiment, I have planted the two growing trees…
Even though alternative — and much better looking — UI’s exist for SAP, such as Netweaver Business Client, portal, and mobility, for most SAP users, SAP Gui is a way of life.

One of the constant struggles for SAP users and consultants alike is the attempt to recollect transaction codes and table names that are infrequently used. Having a reliable list at your fingertips has proven to be helpful in those times of need. That concept inspired me to compile and publish a couple of ‘quick user guides’ that can…
It’s been over a month since I started to root my avocado seeds. As you can see in the photo above, the roots for my more mature seed are about 4 to 5 inches long. The stem has also begun to sprout and is just past the surface of the seed. I’ve been noticing them drinking a lot…
This post is dedicated to the four hours of my life I lost trying to figure out why my mandatory header texts were misbehaving. A client had requested that a header text be mandatory for all Credit Memo (CR) and Debit Memo (DR) documents. Makes sense. Standard SAP only prescribes an order reason be maintained,…
