CATT Procedure

Summary:
How can I use the CATT procedure?
Full Article:

CATTs are very useful for creating mass transactions. I use them when I don't have an
abap programmer available to write a BDC.

I actually use CATTs to load inventory, change material type, extending views, change
valuation, creating master data for storage bins in WM. You name it, a CATT can be
used to create the transaction. It's kind of hard to use for BOM's and Routings but not
impossible.

Think of it like a macro.

Transaction SCAT
1. Record your transaction
2. Save the CATT
3. Go into your recorded CATT Procedure and edit the parameters - you set these per
SCREEN that you have visited. Double click on the screen number - you will get the
screen layout. Place your cursor on a field and mark it as "input", "constant",...
4. Save again
5. If you have input parameters, you can prepare your input file in Excel. Display your
parameters. The first ROW in Excel contains the technical description of the parameter.
The second row in Excel contains the parameter description the third row contains a
default value (this record is therefore NOT uploaded in the CATT) from the 4th row
onwards, you will upload the data.
6. Save the Excel file as
7. Run the CATT (choose the processing you like, point it at the text tab delimited file)
and go.
