Well done! Thanks for sharing this interesting content. I work with SAP on a daily basis and using scripts has revolutionized the way I work.

Hi Csongor Varga,

At the end of 2020, I implemented an SAP RPA project using SAP GUI Scripting, and at that time, I learned a lot from your videos, including VBA.
I'm truly grateful for that. I hope your videos reach even more people.

Man I had this job where I sent keystrokes from excel vba, copied every field into memory and then found the active window and paste tab paste tab, etc. just found out about this 10 yrs later. Didn’t have scripting ability back then. Sheesh.

Anyway I’m doing it in python with whatever custom stuff I want, rename reports move them, and chatgpt is your friend on this.

The man the myth the legend, welcome back, missed your SAP videos.

Not many are familiar with GUI scripting.
Even though they dont create themselves as takes a lot of time to learn. Good for us!
SAP GUI doesnt work with long text.

GUI scripting does work on Hana ERP.
Not in Fiori apps. These are web based.
The same reason VBA doesnt work when your office application is on cloud.

This is such a great video. I wish I could learn scripting by automating work order in SAP through excel data. Is it possible?

Thanks for all the video, I've learned a lot from you. However, I'm stuck on one project here, to create BOM with CS01. I know how to record the SAP GUI Scripting with VBA code as I've created some SAP automation. With the BOM creation, it's challenging and I'm hoping you can help. Let's say, the header called CUID. 1 CUID can have multiple SAP numbers (Materials). One the excel sheet, I have three rows with with the same CUIDs but different SAP numbers. So, on the VB code, how do we control it? 😆😭🙏

Hello Csongor!!! Have you been able to create a code for an Excel VBA macro that can do the save step as with the Windows pop-up window? I have to save an excel file only that way so that the data is not modified :/ many thanks
