Now it's clear. Thanks Neal. I was hoping there was a way without programming. I will look into the abap'er. I want the control you refer to.

Subject: Creation of material master record

An LSMW is an automation tool for taking a file of formatted data and loading
it through a background version of the SAP Gui into the DB. Therefore, you
make a recording of your actions manually doing a single iteration of the
operations that you want to do. LSMW then provides you with a data
template. You fill out all of the iterations that you need done and hand it
over to the LSMW that you have created. It then pipes it all into SAP.
eCAT works similarly. An ABAPer could create you a BDC if you need even
more control than allowed by LSMW or eCAT. They have extremely strict
requirements. An ABAPer could also produce an upload via BAPI. Very
painful for the ABAPer, but provided as SAP's standard for uploads. Some
people even use the EDI/IDoc interface to do uploads...
