Intel­li­gent Automa­tion for SAP Busi­ness ByDe­sign users

SAP has intro­duced SAP Intel­li­gent Robot­ic Process Automa­tion func­tion­al­i­ties to ben­e­fit their Busi­ness ByDe­sign solu­tion using cus­tomers. Abbre­vi­at­ed RPA, it is meant for tak­ing over repet­i­tive and time-con­sum­ing tasks, thus free­ing up employ­ees’ time on oth­er activ­i­ties adding more val­ue to busi­ness. Thanks to autom­a­ti­za­tion, there are also few­er man­u­al mis­takes made in the process, human vs. bot. 

A good prac­ti­cal exam­ple of this is that for many com­pa­nies, doc­u­ments like invoic­es, pur­chase orders, trav­el expens­es, proof of deliv­er­ies usu­al­ly end up in your inbox as PDFs. Then you must open them, read them, and man­u­al­ly enter all the data into your ERP sys­tem. To com­bat this busi­ness chal­lenge of small, time-con­sum­ing, admin­is­tra­tive tasks, SAP Intel­li­gent RPA offers 6 pre-built and ready to use Bots. These Bots help free up SAP Busi­ness ByDe­sign users’ time towards val­ue-cre­at­ing tasks, mak­ing process­es smoother and faster. The bots can be used out-of-box or cus­tomized to your needs.

Robot­ic Process Automa­tion enables data con­sol­i­da­tion and manip­u­la­tion from mul­ti­ple data sources like Excels, ven­dor por­tals and SAP sys­tems. It can exe­cute hun­dreds of steps a day like copy&paste, data migra­tion or approvals. It is able to access mul­ti­ple appli­ca­tions such as web apps, ERPs, and non-SAP systems.
