Posted on by zmsoft

Hi there,

I used the "Click SAP UI element" component to manipulate the drop-down box in SAP and got the following error.

Any suggestions?

Error details :

Correlation Id: 2e223476-a07c-45cb-8957-1c7224becda0

The method got an invalid argument.: Microsoft.PowerPlatform.PowerAutomate.Desktop.Actions.SDK.ActionException: Action failed. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: The method got an invalid argument.

Have you tried with "Populate text field in window" action?

Please refer the below article from step 17th - Create an SAP desktop flow by using Power Automate Desktop - Power Automate | Microsoft Learn

Consider using the recorder feature to interact with the SAP UI elements and observe the actions it generates. If that approach fails, you might resort to the "Send Keys" method to select an option from your combo box.

Hi @Deenuji

I have tried with "Populate text field in window" action. But can't pinpoint the UI element.
The recorder can't pinpoint the drop down box.

I have also tried "Move mouse " + "Send keys", but still not work.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi @Deenuji ,

I have solved this issue by using scripting record in SAP, and then use VBScript action.
