Screen Simplifications Using GuiXT
Patrick Reed; SAP-Centric EAM 2008 Essroc Cement
Essroc implemented SAP R/3 Rel. 3.1H in 1999. Although the project was successful, there were training requirements that persisted since go-live because of employee turnover, overwhelmed end-user and frustration caused by the gap between required data vs. the actual number of fields in the screen.
Video Key Points
Although the project was successful, there were training requirements that persisted.
With a relatively small SAP support staff, training/re-training was not an option and the idea of using simplified screen templates, along with built in validation logic was considered a strategic alternative. These screen simplifications and related enhancements improved transaction processing while the reduction in training time required for potential SAP upgrades would be greatly eliminated.
These enhancements have improved the quality of transaction data and overall employee satisfaction with the SAP R/3 system.
