Me21n create with ecatt

Question

hello,
i have a big problem. I would like to create Purchase order with ecatt, but i like to record more than one item in a PO.
So i want to upload data in a txt fajl. But if i create for example 10 rows in the txt, the ecatt is threat its new PO, so instead of one PO with 10 items I get a 10 PO-s.
How must i record the transaction?
Best regards,
PN

Hi Norbert,
You can  try the following approach for entering the multiple value
1.Parameterize all the fields
2.Create an table type reference  & declare an IT_Table with above table type as reference
3.Use Getlen in ecatts command,by this we will get the length of internal table and pass this to a parameter(V_No_Entries)
4.Identify the command interfaces at which the entry is beind made then put a do...enddo loop for ex as below
Do(V_NO_Entries)
         Sy-tabix  = &LPC
        Call a function module which can read the internal table and pass as an export parameter the value to a Variable (V_LineItem)
         Here for V_Lineitem give the Data type of the table type as reference parameter
   SAPGUI( ME21N_1) *** This would be the Command interface where we are making the entry**
Enddo.
4.Now you can enter 10 Values in the Structure editor of the IT_Table by double clicking on value entry field on the Parameter list
Please note key here is to identify the command interface where the entry of the value is happening and looping it using DO....ENDDO loop and reading the Internal table and getting single value each time from the Function module and make the entry to the field
For me this solution worked..and here the function Module can be generic and could be re-usable for other scripts....
If any queries let me know.
