    I need to write Winshuttle template for QT uploads, multiple lines, with part number, quantity, price, and batch as well as material text. Can I do it all in one script or do I need to write a separate script for the material text? 
    Also, should this script be written in GUI mode or standard? 
    And final question, on some of the sold-to's or materials, there is a pop up. If I don't record this pop up at the time of script creation, and if there is a sold-to or a material that later has the pop up, the script errors out. Is there any way to avoid that?

    Hi Jane,

    VA21 and VA01 are almost identical if not exactly the same.
    I always go for the Standard Recording mode, unless I have to use any special function or menu option.
    Doing one recording would be ideal.
    In relation to pop-up screens, if you can identify a case in which the pop-up appears, use it for the recording and declare the screen as an optional screen as not always always would appear.
    If new or different pop-ups appear do a separate recording and copy paste it in the right screen where it appears.

    Hope this is useful to you.

    Hi Victor, 
    Yes, VA01 & VA21 are identical, but in our organization, we are unable to load quotes using t-code VA01. 
    I have to record it in GUI because I need to jump from one tab to another because I am unable to enter "Net Value" on the Item Overview tab. I have to jump to Fast Data Entry tab to enter value and for some reason, standard mode will not let me record the movement to that tab. Additionally, I need to add item text and I found out that I can't loop that action so I had to create a separate script that is connected to a new Quotation number and then the script is linked and adds the material text. 

    So if other pop ups appear, I should re-record the script and paste the new portion (with the pop up) to the old script or re-record the entire script and save it as new?

    Hi Jane,

    I assume you are not using order type QT, and maybe the system behavior is in a way I cannot understand.

    I have tried in the system I have access to use document type QT and I am able to enter header and line item data. Depending to you access the item data, system remembers which tab it was last time.

    In relation to the pop ups, you do not need to record the entire script just till the missing peace and then you can cut and paste the new screen and how to clear it.

    If you want to organize a call and share screen I can see what is happening and how your system is set up.

    Regards,
    Victor Garcia

    I see what you mean about re-recording the pop up screen and pasting it into the script. I was not aware that I could do that! It is very helpful information. Thank you, Victor!
