SAP GUI transaction helper (for SAP consultant)

by Vasiliy Kharitonov

I have a list of most useful GUI transactions I personally use. It is hard to keep it in memory, so I have a written note. I think others might find it useful as well, so I am moving it here. From now on my note with most useful GUI transactions will be managed here and regularly updated.
