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.

Chapter 15: Controlling Workflows and Scenarios

We already created a workflow called SAPInvoicePosting in Chapter 13, Designing Scenarios, with a single sequence of activities to complete the posting of a vendor invoice. In a real-time scenario, there might be conditions that mean we need to execute the same steps multiple times – for example, we need to post multiple vendor invoices. Another condition could be to skip or include a few steps based on a condition – for example, we need to skip the step to go to the tax tab for vendor invoices if tax is not applicable. Similarly, we might want to reuse certain steps, such as activities to log in to or log out of the SAP server.

Let's explore the options that SAP Intelligent RPA provides to cover the following topics:

  • Creating reusable scenarios
  • Creating a workflow with loops and conditional flows
  • Adding loops in the workflow
  • Adding conditional flows to the workflow
  • Reusing the scenarios and...
