Overview of this book

SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation (RPA) enables businesses to automate repetitive work and integrate automation capabilities across SAP and non-SAP systems. This book provides end-to-end coverage of business process automation using SAP Intelligent RPA and shows how to build multiple SAP Intelligent RPA projects from start to finish. Some of these projects may build upon the work done in previous chapters to showcase the Agile development process in SAP Intelligent RPA. As you progress, you'll cover the SAP Intelligent RPA factory, Desktop Studio, Cloud Studio, and the Bot store. You'll also learn about the building blocks of the SAP Intelligent RPA solution and creating bots from initial application declaration to workflow design and deployment, along with making bots run in attended and unattended modes. You'll also learn about SAP Process Automation, the new SAP service that is going to replace the SAP Intelligent RPA service soon. Finally, we will discuss the migration path for your SAP Intelligent RPA projects to SAP Process Automation and showcase that the RPA development remains similar in both services. By the end of this RPA book, you’ll be able to create and manage complex bots that are capable of interacting with SAP and non-SAP systems.

Capturing repeated elements

We discussed posting a vendor invoice business process in the Starting with your first automation project section of Chapter 12, Capturing and Declaring Applications, Pages, and Items. Our target was to make only one entry for G/L acct and Amount in doc.curr in that business process, so we captured edGLAccount and edGLAmount controls from the first row of the table. SAP Intelligent RPA will identify the first control matching the criteria defined for UI controls, so the controls in the first row are recognized.

The FB60 transaction code that we aimed to automate as the business process allows business users to enter multiple G/L acct and Amount in doc.curr values for a single invoice. So, if we need to support multiple values to enter for these two, we need to capture all the G/L acct and Amount in doc.curr controls available under the tcItemsNoEntry table that we defined as Ancestor in the The Ancestor parameter section of this chapter.
