How SAP works with UiPath
SAP is one of the most widely used business management systems in the world. This software centralizes all business functions on the same platform, facilitating and speeding up access to data.

SAP's integration with UiPath is primarily done to streamline data entry. Through UiPath, this SAP automation is configured, which will also minimize the errors that a human can make, but that an RPA robot cannot.
“UiPath takes the best of both worlds and offers a product that can be configured to intelligently scan forms, copy data, and reproduce keystrokes without making any typing errors or fatigue like many hardworking workers. to enter data”, pointed out UiPath about the great benefit of this integration of SAP and UiPath.
Additionally, UiPath can be configured to only detect certain fields in a document or form, so it will only enter the data that matters to you, ignoring the rest and saving time.
UiPath is also useful in SAP for:

- Data mining
- Typing or screen scraping of data on the screen
