Posted on Jun 18, 2020 at 05:58 PM 68 Views

Automation Testing question using CBTA:

In "Original Document No" in "Additional Data A" tab of VA01 that i needed to re-iterate using unique number every time i create Sales order

How do i use any command similar to For/Next loop to reiterate XYZZZZZYYY0001 to XYZZZZZYYY9999 for any future sales order creation for testing

    You can use RANDOM token to generate RANDOM number every execution eg: %random%

    Thanks,

      Hi Ajay, first of all, thanks for your response. If i use Random token then there are possibilities of getting that particular random number may populate again. Is %counter will work? if so where should i place that %Counter% ..in parameter or in test script? Please advise

    Hello Bhavik,

    You still need to initialize Counter right ? Atleast I do not see a case where Random number is repeated, you also prefix it with Date if you feel it might repeat.

    Thanks,

    Aj

      Hi AJ, i tried XYZZZZZYYY%random% and it work to get me 6 random number yet failed my test script due to my below challenge:

      first 10 alphabets of Original document number is fixed and last 4 digit can be random or with counter increment from 0001 to 9999. Please advise, how do i use %Random% for only last 4 digit (random usually gives 6 digit)

    You can use trim functionality to trim only 4 characters from Random number.

    Thanks,
