SD customizing transactions are collected into easily accessible area menus which allow quick access to commonly used transactions for tasks like billing, master data, and pricing customization. Users can also create their own area menus for personal use or to provide system users with simple access to needed transaction codes. Area menus consolidate related transactions and provide a flexible way to organize SD configuration steps.
