https://community.blueprism.com/t5/Product-Forum/Best-Practices-of-SAP-Automation/m-p/49011#M4484 As I talk to our customers and partners, I frequently get asked questions about best practices of automating SAP (SAPGUI).&nbsp; I have experience doing various types of SAP automation for over 25 years (including SAP ABAP BDC programming, LSMW, VB scripting, various performance and testing tools, and Blue Prism automation).&nbsp; Blue Prism is one of the easiest automation methods for SAP because it has a proprietary interface that is designed to work with the SAPGUI user interface which requires no coding.&nbsp; On top of the ease of use, best practices can definitely help customers build automation that is resilient, reliable, and easy to maintain.&nbsp;
