• Key Concepts: 
  A cascading menu is a type of graphical user interface (GUI) element used in SAP software. It is a hierarchical menu system that allows users to navigate through different levels of menus and submenus. The menu items are organized in a tree-like structure, with each item leading to a new level of options. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Cascading menus are used to quickly access different functions and features within SAP software. To use a cascading menu, the user must first select the top-level menu item. This will open up a list of submenu items, which can be selected to access further options. The user can then continue to navigate through the different levels of menus until they find the desired function or feature. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using cascading menus, it is important to remember that each level of the menu will only display the options available at that level. If an option is not visible, it may be located in a different level of the menu. Additionally, some options may be hidden by default and must be enabled in order to be accessed.
