Is it possible to combine two transactions?

[suraj_pabbathi2]

Hi,

We are pursuing an option with screen personas. We want to basically combine two transactions. Is it possible with screen personas?

While creating a quotation using VA21, we want to see on hand quantity from MM43 for that store.

Thanks,

Yes, I think you can do this. You aren't so much combining two transactions as copying some data from one transaction into another. So, in VA21 you'd have a script that navigated to MM43, copied the quantity, went back to VA21 and pasted the copied value into a custom field. This is a pretty standard thing to do with Personas.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your reply.

I have a challenge, when I am in VA21 I enter few values in the process of creating quotation.

I enter article and before entering quantity, I need to know on hand quantity from MM43.

If I write a script to take article, go to MM43, bring back on quantity, by the time these values I have entered in VA21, will they vanish or stay there?

Thanks,

In Personas 3 scripting there is a "callTransaction" method as an alternative to "startTransaction". "startTransaction" will close the current transaction as if you'd typed "/ntcode" in the okcode box, so there's no going back. This is how Personas 2 scripting worked also.

However, "callTransaction" executes the new transaction in a separate session, leaving the current transaction state untouched so you can go back to it. If you use this you can do exactly what you are looking for...
