  • 1.  Creating Scripts for List Display type transaction codes in SAP: i.e. QE51N, ME2, ME5A, COOIS

    Posted 05-12-2021 09:05
    We have received a request about using Winshuttle to update Inspection Results which is being done using QE51N. In the past, we have been unable to create viable scripts for these List Display type of transaction codes (i.e. ME2N, ME5A, etc). Are there any guidelines/documentation or advice out there about using Winshuttle for these type of SAP transaction codes? We have Winshuttle Studio with Winshuttle Connect. Any help or knowing that this is not possible or problematic would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Jack -

    A transaction like QE51N can act as an entry point to additional transactions, which are better for recording purposes. While QE51N lets you pull up a number of different inspection lots for update, you could just as easily go into the individual inspection lots using different transactions. I'm not sure what exact actions you are trying to take (usage decision, update lots, update samples, etc), but I've had better luck using transactions like QA11, QA02, and QPR2, instead of trying to record QE51N.  You can also use the Query module of Studio to extract inspection lots using table QALS, if you wanted to do some kind of round trip.

    Thanks!

    Thanks so much Jennifer. That is what I suspected. We will work with the requester to get a better understanding of all they are trying to do & see if we may be able to use any of the transactions you cite. Appreciated the quick response.

    Hello,

    Did you consider using a bapi such as BAPI_INSPOPER_RECORDRESULTS?

    Kindly

    Thanks for the tip. However, our current script creators are not able to do BAPI as we are mostly business analysts & we do not do BAPI scripting or do programming.
