  • 1.  GUI Scripting to look up in a column and then change the field next to it.

    Posted 20 days ago

    In need of some help. I need to look up a partner function in IE02 and change the partner number. There are no search options; that is why I am trying to use GUI scripting. I have tried many ways, and this is the closest to what I am trying to do, but it will not move off of line one to look up other lines to change other partners. Thank you.

    Hi Benjamin,

    You could do a query, download the information that you need, then turn around and create a new script to upload the new data using the same spreadsheet.I have done that in the past with partner functions.

    Hi Benjamin,

    We change the partners using IQ02 using the serial and material numbers rather than the equipment number. This may be an option if you are still struggling with IE02. I've attached our script/template in case it helps.

    Hi Benjamin

    Usually with GUI scripting you can either record the field that finds the right row or use the pop-up to capture disabled fields

    That pop-up comes up when you start a Gui scripting recording. But don't click on that button until you are where you want to capture something, like the partner type.

    Then click on the row and read only field to capture it - you'll see a red box

    Then click the button in the pop-up again so that it doesn't capture other stuff you don't want

    then update what is on that row - in this case partner 

    Normally you will see the field captured as a download field - name (geeky name) ends with .text, but in this case it captured it as .key.  I updated it to .text.

    Then you add an IF around the fields you are updating  - in this case the partner - include the .focus in the IF

    Choose Indexed IF and use the field captured for partner type - and then check the box to compare it to a column in the excel file.

    Afterwards don't forget to disable the index field because you don't want to download it - you are just using it as a lookup.

    The other weird part of this use case, you can't use SH for the lookup - it has to be spelled out like you see it in SAP 

    Quick example attached.

    Hope that helps,

    Sigrid
