      Hello, thanks for the good blog. I have a question regarding the maintenance of catalog codes and their translation.

      As you showed they can be maintained easily via QS41 manually, but is there a way for mass change, especially for codes and their translations (LSMW, BAPIs....)? For me recording a batch Input did not work.

      Thanks, best regards,

      Raphael
