Much of its data is obtained from procurement (Materials Management). yAccounts Receivable records all accounting transactions for dealings with customers. Much of its data is obtained from Sales and Distribution. yAsset Accounting records all accounting transactions relating to the management of assets. yTravel Management manages and calculates travel costs and supports travel planning and travel expenses yBank ledger supports the posting of cash flows. „All G/L account postings that post to business expense accounts automatically send the expenses as costs to Controlling.

The client concept enables the parallel operation, in one system, of several enterprises that are independent of each other in business terms. The components SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW) and SAP Knowledge Warehouse (KW) are exceptions to this: in these cases only one client is used. During each user session you can only access the data of the client selected during logon. A client is, in organizational terms, an independent unit in the system. Each client has its own data environment and therefore its own master data and transaction data, assigned user master records and charts of accounts, and specific Customizing parameters. For a user to log on to the system, a master record must exist in the system for that user. To protect access, a password is required for logon. The password is hidden as you type (you only see asterisks). SAP R/3 Systems are available in several languages. Use the Language input field to select the logon language for each session. Multiple logons are always logged in the system beginning with SAP R/3 4.6. This is for security as well as licensing reasons. A warning message appears if the same user attempts to log on twice or more. This message offers three options: yContinue with current logon and end any other logons of the same user in the system yContinue with current logon without ending any other logons in the system (logged in system) yTerminate current logon attempt You can place your own text on the initial screen in a number of ways.
