Automating SAP with the DVW Analytics Flow Tool: Save Hours Every Week with RPA

If you work with SAP, you know the drill: long hours spent clicking through transaction codes, entering the same data again and again, and triple-checking for typos. It’s tedious, it’s time-consuming, and it takes you away from more valuable work.

​What if you could automate all of that — without writing complex code? That’s exactly what the DVW Analytics Flow Tool makes possible.

​What is the DVW Analytics Flow Tool?

The Flow Tool is a desktop application that connects directly to your SAP system. Using simple drag-and-drop components, you can:
​

• Access SAP data from transaction codes, Fiori apps, BW queries, and more.​
• Combine SAP data with other sources.
• Cleanse and transform data.
• Send it wherever you need — Power BI, Tableau, Snowflake, or even back into SAP.

​​Think of it as your control centre for automating repetitive SAP tasks and moving data seamlessly across systems.

​Meet the SAP RPA Tool: Your Desktop Robot

Among the Flow Tool’s many features, one stands out for tackling manual processes head-on: the SAP RPA (Robotic Process Automation) tool.

In simple terms, it’s like having a robot on your desktop. It watches the steps you take in SAP and then repeats them automatically — faster, more consistently, and without mistakes.

​Whether it’s creating pricing records, extracting data for audits, or updating master data, the RPA tool takes the grind out of daily SAP work.

​How It Works: From Recording to Automation

Here’s how you can turn a repetitive SAP task into an automated workflow in just a few steps:​​
​

1. Record your SAP actions
   Start by running through a transaction as you normally would. For example, using VK11 to create new pricing records. Every click and keystroke is captured.
2. Replace values with parameters
   Instead of hardcoding values, swap them for parameters. This way, you can pass in new values dynamically.
3. Add logic for scale
   Use built-in loop functionality to repeat actions across multiple sales organizations or distribution channels.
4. Connect external data
   Pull inputs from Excel files (or other sources) to create large batches of entries with minimal effort.
5. Run the robot
   Hit “Run” and watch the RPA tool log into SAP and complete the task automatically.

​That’s it. What used to take hours now happens in minutes.

​Real-World Benefits

The Flow Tool with RPA offers more than just time savings:

• Efficiency: Automate repetitive tasks and free up time for higher-value work.
• Accuracy: Reduce manual entry errors.
• Flexibility: Automate almost any SAP action, from creating records to taking screenshots for audit compliance.
• Scalability: With the server version, schedule flows to run automatically — no need to even be at your desk.
