Process automation

Modelling and running a business process on BTP: the process flow, the forms people fill in, decision tables, bots for repetitive steps, and dashboards over the instances that run. Starting a process from a CAP service and reacting to it is workflow integration, and the screen a person approves a task on is task and approval UIs.

Overview

SAP SHIPS

SAP Build Process Automation combines SAP Workflow Management and SAP Intelligent RPA: end-to-end processes built or adapted in a graphical interface, form-based workflows, decision logic in spreadsheet-like decision tables, bots for repetitive tasks, and process-visibility dashboards over process instances.

Not covered: At no-code and low-code development for citizen developers, and at the process flows that exist: its robotic process automation automates repetitive tasks within them.

THE COMMUNITY ADDS

Intelligent Situation Automation is an SAP service of another shape: it resolves SAP S/4HANA business situations by applying a configured business rule and reports the time saved, where SAP Build Process Automation models the process flow.
