A Menu is a list which groups a specific set of functions together and is used to help you quickly locate and select a function. Through the application, the functions and their sequential order can be tailored for your company’s needs
The Menu Definitions (IMMU) screen allows you to define and arrange the menus that users will see when they are in the application.
You do not need to create your own menus or modify the existing menus unless you are adding new functions, or need to change the order (sequence) of items. You can control which menu items show in the delivered menus with execution rights (execution type roles and (IMER) and change menu labels with languages and translations.
For a menu or sub-menu, the label in IMMU is displayed as the Title of the menu item and the purpose in IMMU is displayed as the description.
For a function in a menu, the label in IMMU is displayed as the title of the menu item and the purpose in Function Definitions (IMFN) is displayed as the description.
RECOMMENDATION: Do not create any more than three layers in the path (Menu calling a Function, or Menu calling a Sub-Menu calling a Function) as the navigation tree will not be user-friendly. Also do not mix sub-menus and functions within a menu. If a menu calls a sub-menu then it should only call other sub-menus, no functions and vice versa.The path should be EITHER:
For the entire menu, do not mix and match paths. For example, the path for Maintain Personnel Actions is Human Resources > Personnel Actions > Maintain Personnel Actions (Menu > Sub-menu > Function)
This means that the function Maintain Personnel Actions has the parent menu Personnel Actions. The sub-menu Personnel Actions has the parent menu Human Resources.
Below is an in-depth discussion of the Create Menus screen and the individual fields within the screen, followed by a step-by-step set of instructions on how to maintain menus within the application.
When you create a new menu, you must log out and log back in again for the new submenus to show one the menu drop-down list.
You may access this feature through the Screens/Forms menu: Application Administration > System Structures > Maintain Menus At the top of the form, you will see a list of all the menus in the application identified by menu code. By clicking on one of the menus listed, you will be able to see further details about that menu in the following fields.
The definition data for the Menu Definitions screen is stored in the P2K_AM_MENUS, and P2K_AM_MENU table.
