Thank you, Derek. To confirm systems, we are using SAP ECC 760. This looks promising to try out. If at all possible, could I set up a meeting to walk through the steps after the main screen of CA03. I am not able to follow the fields to screen steps from the screens you sent. I am willing to display my data to understand all screens and steps that are used. Thank you in advance.

Subject: CA02 How do other businesses extract Component Allocation data?
Hi Ben,
We went through the same thing a few years ago trying to figure out how to get the data out of SAP. I messed around with queries for a while, but I wasn't able to figure it out enough where it would provide consistent results.
I eventually recorded a CA03 (and CA13 for reference operation sets) script as a transaction and downloaded the fields to provide results. One thing to note - and this is TOTALLY not Winshuttle's fault - but it runs slower than a two-dollar mule. I re-recorded it with the same results. It's just something about the way it pulls the data out of our system that makes it grind away for a long time. I attached a couple screen shots to give you an idea of how to get into the t-code and then the fields that are downloaded. Works great, just not fast. It does run on the server for us so whenever I need to pull data I schedule it and just wait for the results whilst working on other stuff.
Hope this helps.
Derek
