UiPath Accelerator for SAP S/4HANA for Procurement

The Accelerator offers a set of pre-built workflows for typical automations in Procurement processes on top of SAP S/4HANA

The UiPath Accelerators for SAP S/4HANA for Procurement offer a wide variety of pre-built activities for typical automations that UiPath customers use on top of SAP S/4HANA to automate their Procurement processes. 

Predefined workflows can be used for both SAP Robotic Process Automation and as an SAP Test Case, thus creating synergies in your automation journey. 

They are built for both SAP WinGUI automation as well as native integration via SAP BAPI to ensure that automations are robust, stable and performant.

Use them out of the box to accelerate implementation time of your SAP automation projects.

Sample use case: Purchase Order Creation

One of our automotive clients had a manual process that required employees to use SAP S/4HANA , email, spreadsheets, and a desktop web portal. The workflow was frustrating as it took an average of three hours to handle one purchase request. On top of the tedious process, a lot of errors occurred. The solution was to implement a robot that picks purchase requisitions from the web portal.  The robot enters the information from the purchase requests in SAP, using the activity “Create a new purchase requisition”, checks for approvals via email, and finally creates the purchase orders with the activity “Create a new purchase order”. This improved employee experience by reducing the processing time by 78% compared to the original process, eliminated errors and accelerated the benefits from digital transformation.

Good to know

• The UiPath Foundation pack for Accelerators for SAP S/4HANA is a prerequisite for the usage of the content above. Do not forget to download it!
• The transaction codes listed for BAPI are provided as a guidance and do not guarantee the exact same functionality as the listed WinGUI transaction. SAP BAPI in some cases can have more complex structures than transaction code, which includes large number of tables parameters.
• The package was formerly known as SRC Components for SAP S/4HANA, which was built and delivered by UiPath Japan and it is owned and maintained by the team.
