automate BOM creation with script

[Former Member]

Hi all

I'like to create an Excel macro that would upload a BOM for a specific equipment using SAP Script.

where i'm struggling right now is on determining the first available position in the ib02 tab

in the example the first line available for insertion of a new item would be the 53 one.

When i ran the script recorder i get the following code

session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[0]/okcd").text = "/nib02"

session.findById("wnd[0]").sendVKey 0

thanks a lot for your input

Hi Nicolas - as a real quick-and-dirty solution, you can get the script to press the NEW ENTRIES button, which always moves the first blank row to the 2nd line of the display. This way , you can feed the new row in the second line, click NEW ENTRIES, then you get another blank row in 2nd position, and so on...

Hi Umur

Thanks for the tip.

this is working very well.

another option is to check is one of the field is empty.

If no then increment a counter

if yes then you have reach the first available line and you can use the counter to identify it in the script

here is an example :

k = 0
While session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTS_ITOV/tabpTCMA/ssubSUBPAGE:SAPLCSDI:0152/tblSAPLCSDITCMAT/ctxtRC29P-POSTP[1," & CStr(k) & "]").Text <> ""
k = k + 1
Wend

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTS_ITOV/tabpTCMA/ssubSUBPAGE:SAPLCSDI:0152/tblSAPLCSDITCMAT/ctxtRC29P-POSTP[1," & CStr(k) & "]").Text = item_type
