Hi,

Can I execute the delivery transaction VL71(Processing Delivery outputs) in the background after skipping the First Screen.

Thanks,

Looks like it is a report. You can

1) use the submit command in ABAP to submit the program with certain parameters.

2) create a variant for the selection screen and set up a background job.

Not really sure what you are going for here, but yes, I believe you can run this program in background.

Rich,

I was thinking that option.But VL71 has two screens and the first screen parameter is constant.So I can skip the first screen by setting the constant value in the first screen.

The second screen would have list of delivery to be processed for the output. I need to process all the deliveries of the second screen.

Thanks for your previous answer.

Thanks,

Ramesh

I see, you should do a BDC session over the transaction then. Do your recording in SHDB, then copy your BDC code to a custom program. Schedule a background job for your new custom program.
