How to customise the function keys in SAP Business One
Jens DemutPublicationUpdate
Repetitive tasks often take longer than necessary. If you regularly access the same windows and functions in SAP Business One, you can make your work much easier by using customised F-keys. This feature helps to reduce the number of steps required and speed up day-to-day processes.
Everything you need to know about customisable F-keys at a glance
- SAP Business One offers an integrated feature for customisable F-keys.
- The setting is located in the Tools menu under My Shortcuts.
- The configuration determines which function is to be accessed via which function key.
- Keyboard shortcuts that have already been set up can be checked in the system at any time.
1. Which menu option is used to access this function?
In SAP Business One, you can access the settings via the Tools menu. The My Shortcuts function is located there, and this can be used to open the configuration options.
2. How do I access the configuration section?
The Customise option opens the section for further setup. It is only from there that the actual assignment is carried out.
3. How do I assign a function to a function key?
The configuration window is used to specify which function is to be accessible via a particular F key. To do this, users select the module, the window and the desired F key. Clicking on Allocate applies the assignment in the system.
Where can I check the saved shortcuts?
Once set up, users can go to My Shortcuts -> Shortcuts to see which functions have been assigned to which F-keys. This allows them to quickly check the saved assignments and review them if necessary.
Conclusion
With user keyboard shortcuts, SAP Business One offers a simple way to assign frequently used functions to specific F-keys. This shortens the path to these functions, reduces unnecessary clicks and makes it easier to work within the system.
This is set up directly in SAP Business One using the My Shortcuts function, which can be accessed from the Tools menu. The next step is to open the configuration.
To set this up, select the module, window and the desired function key in the configuration area. Click Allocate to apply the settings.
You can check which functions have been assigned to the individual F keys under My Shortcuts -> Shortcuts.
Function keys are assigned on a user-specific basis. Any keyboard shortcuts set up apply only to the user who configured them in the system. This allows each person in SAP Business One to assign the F keys to suit their own workflows.
