However, one of the most unique features of the SE16N transaction is the ability to enter data into any table through the use of the &SAP_EDIT option. For me, its the possible use of the this option that makes SE16N so powerful and a potential headache for the security consultants. In a SAP system which allows &SAP_EDIT ( the functionality can be activated or de-activated by the use of appropriate OSS notes), we need to input the command &SAP_EDIT as shown in the screen below.
