SAP Process Automation
Automate SAP GUI, SAP Fiori, and API-based SAP processes directly from Alteryx, KNIME, and DVW Flow Tool workflows. Built for business users managing repetitive SAP tasks and technical teams building end-to-end automation.
Many SAP processes are either highly repetitive or difficult to automate through standard API integration alone. DVW Analytics addresses both scenarios. The DVW RPA Tools for SAP provide UI-layer automation of SAP GUI and SAP Fiori tasks from within Alteryx, KNIME, and DVW Flow Tool workflows, covering cases where direct API integration is not available or practical. The DVW Connectors and Flow Tool provide API-layer automation of SAP data writes using SAP BAPI, IDoc, and OData, enabling downstream analytics and data workflows to update SAP directly.
Free 30-day trial. Full functionality. No commitment.
This demo shows SAP GUI automation using the DVW Alteryx RPA Tools for SAP. Equivalent SAP RPA capabilities are available for KNIME and the DVW Flow Tool. See all products below.
Two approaches to SAP Process Automation
DVW Analytics products support automation at two distinct layers of the SAP stack. Both can be combined in a single workflow.
UI-layer automation: DVW RPA Tools for SAP
The DVW RPA Tools for SAP automate SAP GUI and SAP Fiori web-based tasks by recording and replaying SAP interface interactions within Alteryx, KNIME, or DVW Flow Tool workflows. Record-and-replay functionality means business users can capture their existing SAP processes without writing code. This covers SAP transactions and reports that do not expose a direct API, or where the existing SAP GUI process needs to be preserved as-is for governance or configuration reasons.
API-layer automation: DVW write-back via BAPI, IDoc and OData
The DVW Connectors for SAP and DVW Flow Tool support write-back to SAP using standard SAP APIs. Analytics and data workflows built in Alteryx, KNIME, Dataiku, or DVW Flow Tool can create and update SAP master data and transactional data, post to SAP BW, write to SAP IBP, and trigger SAP workflows, without requiring custom ABAP development.
Key capabilities
SAP GUI automation
- Record and replay SAP GUI actions within Alteryx, KNIME, and DVW Flow Tool workflows
- Introduce variables and parameters into recorded scripts for dynamic, data-driven execution
- Loop through scripts for batch processing of SAP GUI transactions across large data sets
- Capture SAP report output from transactions including T-codes such as FBL3N, MM60, and custom reports
- Update SAP data via GUI transactions where direct API access is not available
- Generate screenshot audit trails at process stages for compliance and governance
SAP Fiori and HTML automation
- Automate SAP Fiori web-based tasks from within Alteryx, KNIME, and DVW Flow Tool workflows
- HTML scripting for interaction with SAP Fiori apps and web-based SAP interfaces
- Windows scripting for automation of desktop-level SAP interactions
- Combine SAP Fiori automation with data extraction and transformation in a single workflow
API-layer SAP write-back
- Write data to SAP using SAP BAPIs and RFC-enabled Function Modules, supporting creation of Sales Orders, Purchase Requisitions, Goods Movements, and G/L postings available via DVW Connectors for SAP and DVW Flow Tool (Add-On)
- Load and update SAP Master Data and Transaction Data using SAP IDoc technology (Add-On)
- Write to SAP S/4HANA Cloud via SAP OData services (Add-On)
- Write data to SAP BW InfoProviders, update SAP BW InfoObjects and Text, write SAP BW Hierarchies (Add-On)
- Write to SAP Analytics Cloud objects from workflow outputs (Add-On)
- Write to SAP IBP Planning Areas for forecasting and supply chain scenarios (Add-On)
- Post model outputs back to SAP CRM, SAP ECC hierarchy structures, and SAP S/4HANA
Scheduling and orchestration
- Schedule automation workflows with Alteryx Server, KNIME Hub, or DVW Flow Tool Server
- Run unattended SAP automation processes on a defined schedule or triggered by upstream events
- Combine RPA automation with API-based extraction and write-back in a single orchestrated workflow
- Use multiple SAP systems in a single workflow, reading from one system and writing to another
Typical use cases
- Automating SAP financial period-end processes: extracting data, applying business rules, and posting results back to SAP
- Batch processing of SAP pricing condition record updates via SAP GUI scripting
- Automating SAP report capture from transactions that do not expose an API
- Writing Alteryx or KNIME model outputs back to SAP: demand forecasts, credit scores, and risk classifications
- Automating SAP master data maintenance workflows: creating and updating customers, vendors, and materials
- Triggering SAP Fiori approval workflows from an external analytics or data process
- Posting G/L journal entries to SAP ECC or S/4HANA from a validated Alteryx or KNIME workflow
- Combining data extraction, transformation, and SAP write-back in a single scheduled workflow
DVW Analytics products for SAP Process Automation
DVW Alteryx RPA Tools for SAP
SAP GUI scripting, SAP Fiori HTML scripting, and Windows scripting from within Alteryx Designer and Alteryx Server workflows. Supports record-and-replay with variables, looping, and batch processing. Can be combined with Alteryx Connector for SAP read and write capabilities in the same workflow.
DVW KNIME RPA Tools for SAP
SAP GUI scripting and SAP Fiori automation from within KNIME Analytics Platform and KNIME Hub workflows. Supports the same record-and-replay, variable, and looping capabilities as the Alteryx RPA Tools, within the KNIME workflow environment.
DVW Flow Tool RPA Tools for SAP
SAP RPA capabilities within DVW Flow Tool workflows. Combine RPA automation with the Flow Tool's 20+ platform delivery options and API-based SAP integration in a single orchestrated process. Suitable for scenarios where SAP automation needs to be combined with delivery to Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake, Databricks, or other downstream platforms.
DVW Alteryx Connector for SAP: Write-back
In addition to RPA, the DVW Alteryx Connector for SAP supports API-layer write-back to SAP using BAPI, IDoc, OData, SAP BW, and SAP Analytics Cloud Add-Ons. Enables Alteryx workflows to create and update SAP data directly without UI-layer automation.
DVW KNIME Connector for SAP: Write-back
The DVW KNIME Connector for SAP supports SAP write-back using BAPI, IDoc, OData, and SAP BW Add-Ons from within KNIME workflows.
DVW Flow Tool: Write-back
The DVW Flow Tool supports SAP write-back via BAPI, IDoc, OData, and SAP Analytics Cloud Add-Ons. Particularly well suited to scenarios requiring SAP write-back combined with data delivery to multiple non-SAP platforms in the same workflow.
