MLC (Material Ledger Closing): For this process, a BOT creates costing jobs to close materials of different company codes and then runs those jobs to execute the closing process. To accomplish this, the BOT first logs in to the SAP NetWeaver portal and downloads SAP Business Suite, navigates to the costing cockpit to create costings and execute jobs. After jobs execution, the BOT checks for job failures; in case of any job failure, it creates a ServiceNow ticket and sends an email.

Overview of Process Automation Steps

1. On Day 1 the RPA bot allows the price determination and allows the closing entry. It rechecks the price determination and closing entry, checks the lock, the previous and current status of the plant.
2. On Day 2 the RPA bot checks price determination and closing entry, lock, current and previous status.
3. On Day 3 the bot first checks the current status. If the current status is not successful then it sends a mail to stakeholder/business users and creates a ServiceNow ticket. Then the bot checks the status of the query. If the query is finished successfully, it checks the post-execution, and the current status. If failed then the bot sends an email to the business user and creates a ServiceNow ticket.
