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.

Reusing scenarios and passing data

SAP Intelligent RPA provides activities to start one scenario from another scenario. To do this, we can use the Start activity available under the Scenario activity group in the Activities panel, as shown in the following screenshot:

Figure 15.13 – The Start activity under the Scenario activity group

We will be using this activity to start the workflows created for each of the subprocesses. Let's first create a new workflow called SAPInvoicePosting using the same method to create previous workflows.

Execute the following steps to include existing workflows in this workflow:

  1. Create a new workflow with the name SAPInvoicePosting under the GLOBAL node in the Workflow perspective.

    Important Note

    The workflow name should be unique within the hierarchy. If you already have a workflow with the same name, rename the existing SAPInvoicePosting workflow to SAPSingleInvoicePosting and then create a new workflow with...
