What is the function of the SAP GUI?

The SAP GUI (Graphical User Interface) serves as the primary interface through which users interact with the SAP system. It enables users to perform various tasks such as data entry, reporting, and navigating through the different modules available within the SAP environment. By providing a visual interface, the SAP GUI enhances user experience and accessibility to SAP functionalities, allowing users to execute transactions and access information effectively.

While developing ABAP code, conducting system security audits, or managing data backups are vital functions within the SAP ecosystem, these activities typically require specialized tools or interfaces beyond the basic user interface provided by the SAP GUI. Thus, the primary role of the SAP GUI is not focused on these areas, but rather on facilitating user access and interaction with the SAP system itself.
