    How to use Select SAP menu item in Power Automate desktop
    With the recent power automate desktop update, there is a new activity of SAP available, "Select SAP navigation item". This activity captures all the navigation items on the current available screen of SAP.

    This activity can work in a parent - child node relation. (List > Export > Spreadsheet...)

    "List" is the navigation item, "Export" is the menu item available inside list and "Spreadsheet" is another menu item available after "export".
    Make sure to write exactly the same menu item as is written in SAP, like here I have written "Spreadsheet..." instead of just "Spreadsheet".




    Happy Learning :)

    How to use Select SAP menu item in Power Automate desktop

    Hi,

    To handle a similar use case where I needed to navigate through a menu path (List > Export > Spreadsheet) to download a spreadsheet, I used an alternative approach:

    1. Focus Window: I used the Focus Window action to bring the target screen into view.
    2. Move Mouse to Text on Screen: I moved the mouse to the desired text on the screen and performed a right-click to display the menu header.
    3. Move Mouse to Text on Screen: Finally, I moved the mouse to the "Spreadsheet" option in the menu and clicked on it to initiate the download.




    Try the above approach to see it is working.

    Thanks,

    try the following;
     
    you can use an Invoke Code/Script activity to directly execute the SAP GUI script. 
    Set session = application.Children(0).Children(0)
    session.findById("wnd[0]/mbar/menu[3]/menu[1]").select
