In this issue, Xiaobian will bring you about what the RPA implementation skills of ERP system are. The article is rich in content and analyzes and narrates from a professional perspective. After reading this article, I hope you can gain something.

BW Finance Module

BW Finance module is SAP GUI, which involves the first step of data preparation and the second step of data collection in the reporting process. Because there is no transaction code, the stability of the whole process is a big challenge.

In data preparation, without involving multiple icons of the same element, the powerful image element judgment and image click in UiBot are basically adopted, and automation and stability are well solved. (Process migration needs to consider the same computer pixels)

The data collection can provide you with a picture.

On this page, we can see a large number of the same small icons. The process operation is to right-click the update column from the selected company (the vertical coordinate is the company name hidden in the name), wait for the collection to be completed, and then click the icon behind.

Because there are a lot of the same icons, there is no way to do stable and efficient automation based only on image element judgment and image clicking, so after comprehensive consideration, the only feasible thing is to update one click according to coordinates, but how to deal with so many coordinates, in order not to shift the page or change the size of the computer screen.

Just like plane geometry, two lines intersect to define a point, so how to find this point is important. You can see that the company name below the name on the left side of the picture is unique, and the name of each column above is also unique. In this way, you can find the ordinate according to the company, find the abscissa according to the column name, and the intersection point is the icon that needs to be clicked to update, and it is 100% stable.

Here flexible to find coordinates, have to say that UiBot another two powerful features of the collocation, is the mouse to move to the image and get the mouse position, according to these two we can find the coordinates of the company name and column name, so as to determine the need to click to update the abscissa and ordinate.

The more convenient processing is to take the coordinates of several intersection points, and find the coordinate offset of the update point according to the average difference of the abscissa coordinates and the average difference of the ordinate coordinates, so that the update can be processed cyclically from the first point found.

BCS module

The BCS module is the Business Consolidation System in SAP, and a consolidated report item is a group composed of multiple consolidated accounts for consolidated report presentation.

In BCS, consolidated accounts are used for bookkeeping; consolidated report items cannot be used for bookkeeping. ECC (ERP Central Component) is used to refer to the billing system used by SAP on-line enterprises. Then the process automation here needs to generate instances of reports from Level 1 to Level 3 for each company, with emphasis on the following figure:

This box is magical at two points:

·An X icon that closes the pop-up window, where index is variable.

·Another is how long the pop-up box appears after clicking on the instance.

Because of the variability of index, two scenarios are considered:

One is UiBot's image element judgment and image click, so you don't have to consider how much index is.

The other is to continue to use UiBot element judgment and mouse click targets, but only if you know what index is. According to the previous and subsequent tests, it is found that index increases by 1 every time it pops up, so it can be judged that index defaults to 1 when the first-level report instance is generated, and then the report view will pop up once, and element judgment and mouse target click can be repeated in turn.

Of course, if the Index of the pop-up box here is flexible, it doesn't matter, you can use the value cycle to find the index according to the return value of the element judgment, so as to click the mouse target.

When this pop-up box pops up after clicking Report Instance Generation is a question. According to the business description and test results, it may pop up in a few seconds at the end of the stage and when the network speed is good, or it may pop up after dozens of minutes when there are too many instances of network speed congestion. Anyway, the pop-up box will definitely pop up, but the length of time varies.

Therefore, two schemes are also considered here: the first is to wait for the element judgment hard until it is closed, but the overall time of the process will be greatly lengthened, because even if it does not pop up and continues to brush the second and third levels, it will not have an impact. Consider the second scenario based on this-dual process.

In the dual-process, the main process normally generates all levels of instance reports, and the auxiliary process focuses on the discovery and closure of pop-up boxes. Collocation means that when the main process enters the first-level report instance generation for the first time, it triggers and starts the auxiliary process to monitor and process the pop-up box, which can achieve the effect of efficient processing flow in turn, and does not need to waste the processing time of the later process for waiting for the pop-up box to close.

We are probably familiar with the instructions, but how to use them skillfully according to the customer's example scenario is a process that requires thinking and experience accumulation.

The following is a detailed summary of the views based on this sharing, which is available for reference.
