Hi Priya,

Pass the ISBN number as a field in the file which you are using for LSMW.

Then there is no need to write the selection screen code.

You can use the value passed in file to get the material number.

Hi Priya,

You have to write your piece of code in the tab "Maintain Fixed Values, Translations, User-Defined Routines" of the LSMW.

There you can write a code to get the MATNR field from DB using ISBN number.

Please let me know if you require furthe clarification.
