Top 2 business driven innovations to automate your business processes using SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation capabilities with #S4HANA #Cloud.

1. Digital Automation for Manufacturing : Production Order Operation Confirmation (49T)
2. Digital Automation for Procurement: Simple Purchase Requisition Creation from Excel (48M)

Let’s take deeper look at the first business driven innovation for manufacturing using SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation content with SAP S/4HANA.

Digital Automation for Manufacturing – Production Order Operation Confirmation (49T)

Manufacturing Industries using SAP S/4HANA Cloud, essentials edition plan in response to changing business needs and market factors influencing the product. This needed an efficient way to upload a list of production order operation confirmations. Production Operator can track the output of each operation in a spreadsheet and submit the confirmations for multiple orders in one request.

SAP Intelligent RPA Bot built with Cloud Studio 2.0 in this release, provides the below capabilities in manufacturing process.

◉ Ability to submit Production Order Operation confirmations for numerous orders and operations at one time.

Useful for manufacturing processes that can have operation confirmations reported on at intervals (for example, end of shift).

◉ 3rd party manufacturing execution systems can produce an Excel output to generate the list of Production Order Confirmations for S/4 HANA.

Digital Automation for Procurement: Simple Purchase Requisition Creation from Excel (48M)

Let’s take deeper look at the second business driven innovation for Procurement processes, where the SAP Intelligent RPA bot is built with Cloud Studio 2.0.

SAP Intelligent RPA Bot “Simple Purchase Requisition Creation from Excel (48M)” built with Cloud Studio 2.0 version in this release, help simplify the purchase requisition creation process.

This bot serve as a building block, that can then be used as part of a custom workflow. SAP Intelligent RPA bot read data from a set template format and then create a purchase requisition in S/4HANA using the standard whitelisted API.

Customer can give the purchase requisition details as an input to the bot by compiling them into one Excel file template. The bot reads those details and creates purchase requisition providing the purchase requisition numbers in another Excel file. By using this bot, the user will be freed from processing each and every detail and creating the purchase requisitions.
