Points to rememberPoints to remember• You don’t need to memorize any of the

transaction codes. • The logic for the transaction is though

simple.For example, ‘V’ symbolizes

Sales processes, “D” symbolizes customer master,”01” is for create, “02” change & “03” display. Thus

VD01 >> Create customer master VD02 >> Change customer master VD03 >> Display customer master
