Hello! To extract data from SAP using Power Automate Desktop (PAD), you will need the SAP ERP connector. The SAP ERP connector allows Power Automate Desktop to communicate with SAP systems and perform various operations, such as reading data from SAP tables, executing SAP transactions, and automating SAP tasks.
To use the SAP ERP connector in Power, Automate Desktop, follow these steps:
1. **Install SAP ERP Connector (if required) **:
- If the SAP ERP connector is not already installed, you may need to download and install it separately. This typically involves following the installation instructions provided by Microsoft.
2. **Create a New Flow in Power Automate Desktop**:
- Open Power Automate Desktop and create a new flow to start building your automation.
3. **Add SAP Actions**:
- Once you have your flow open, you can now use the SAP ERP connector's actions to interact with SAP. For example, you can use actions like "Connect to SAP," "Execute SAP Script," or "Read SAP Table" to extract the data you need.
4. **Configure SAP Connection**:
- To connect to SAP, you'll need to provide the necessary credentials and connection details. This will typically include the SAP server address, client number, username, and password.
5. **Extract Data from SAP**:
- Using the appropriate SAP actions, you can perform data extraction from SAP tables or execute transactions as needed.
6. **Handle Data**:
- After extracting the data from SAP, you can further process it within your Power Automate Desktop flow, such as storing it in Excel, a database, or sending it via email or to MS Teams.
Please note that Power Automate Desktop is a desktop-based automation tool, and it's different from the cloud-based Power Automate service. The connectors available in Power Automate Desktop may differ from those in the cloud-based version, so make sure to verify the connector availability for your specific environment. As with any integration involving SAP, it's important to ensure that you have the necessary authorizations and permissions to access the SAP system.
