SAP GUI Element Picking Issue in Power Automate Desktop

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

I'm experiencing an issue with selecting SAP GUI elements in Power Automate Desktop.

On the development PC, selecting a radio button works fine.
However, on the bot PC, the same action throws an error. When I try to pick the element again on the bot PC,
controls like radio buttons and text input fields are not recognized — only the upper-level container (a pane?) is highlighted with a red border.
(Please see the attached screenshot.)

Also, VBScript execution is not working on the bot PC due to errors.
Both PCs are using the same SAP GUI version (730).

Has anyone experienced a similar issue and found a solution?

Thank you!

    Sounds like the development PC has scripting enabled but on the bot pc does not have those enabled. In SAP you need to enable scripting on both server and client side.

    Go to GUI options and check if Scripting is enabled:
