Opentext Vendor Invoice Management

Area Menu
Nowdays we meet with this phenomenon more and more. Let's check, what is the cause of this behavior.
Users can start "transaction" /N/OPT/VIM in the SAP GUI:

The result is, they get a different menu tree, a menu tree for Opentext VIM:

However, when users start the "transaction" /N/OPT/VIM in NWBC Desktop Client:

they get an error message: Transaction /OTP/VIM is unknown - in case of other area menus, the error message contains the transaction code for
that specific area menu

The reason is the following:

/OPT/VIM is NOT A TRANSACTION, but an Area menu, that can be checked in transaction SE43:

This is the reason, why it cannot be called in NWBC as a transaction. NWBC builds the menu tree once during log on, and to use this
menu, the menu tree should be built again.
To make the users be able to use this menu in NWBC, the menu has to be assigned to the user as a Default menu inSU01:

When this is done, and the user logs into NWBC, then he is able to use this newly assigned menu structure:

To use /OPT/VIM menu structure in NWBC, this is the only way to do it. The transactions are available for starting also without a menu
tree, when users still want to use SAP Standard Easy Access Menu. It is important, that for using SAP standard / Area menus in NWBC,
checkbox 'Use SAP menu instead of User Menu' has to be set:
