Accessing modules and functions

You can use the Menu, the Address field, and the Reports page to access a function. You can access the Menu and Address field in the Application Menu bar. You can access the Reports page in any Reports category in the Menu.

In the Address field and on the Reports page, you can use a function acronym to access a function. Function acronyms are included on the page overviews in the online documentation.

After you access a function, select tabs, or use the toolbar or wizards, to navigate the function.

Menu

The Menu contains the modules, categories, and functions that you can access, depending on your operator security. Use the Menu to directly access Distribution SX.e functions.

Click the Menu button to open and close the Menu. Alternatively, press Esc to close the Menu. If you select a category, such as Setup or Inquiry, within a module, press Enter to open and close the category. Click a function within a category to open it. Alternatively, press Tab or an Arrow key to highlight a function, and then press Enter.

Open functions are displayed in the Application Menu bar. The active function is highlighted. To navigate to another open function, click the function in the Application Menu bar or the Menu. Alternatively, click the active tab, press Tab or an Arrow key to highlight a different tab, and then press Enter.

If space is limited in the Application Menu bar, access additional open functions in the More tab.

Address field

You can use the Address field in the Application Menu bar to access a function directly. Specify the acronym or name of a function, or a portion of these values, and then select the function from the list. For example, you can specify pick tickets or OEEPP to open the pick ticket report. Both the acronym and report name, oeepp - OE Entry Processing Pick Tickets, are displayed in the results list.

Click a function to select it, or use the down Arrow key to highlight the function and then press Enter.

The Address field has type-ahead capability. As you type a value, the list is reduced until it matches the value. If a match is not found, you might lack the security to access the function.

Reports page

If you select a Reports category, such as AR Reports, in the Menu or Address field, the Reports page opens. The associated reports are listed by acronym and title in the grid.

To search for a report, specify the acronym for the report in the Function Name field. Alternatively, use the Search field above the grid to search for the report. This search is not limited to the report acronym. After you locate the report, click the Right Arrow to open the report.

You can use the Report Type and Function Name fields to search a report in another module.
