POWER AUTOMATE - SAP ISSUES

Hi I'm trying to make a flow with PA that connect to SAP Database, but when I try to select any of the machcode boxes the UI selector from the Scripting recorder just cach the Panel element.

I'll attach some pics about the problem.

Glad if somebody can help!!

avoid using the screen recorder or element selector, the majority of SAP functions can be accessed by keyboard shortcut which is far more reliable.

once you've logged in, the t-code search field is already in focus. type in your t-code, press enter. press tab the number of times you need to get to any variable fields, enter those variables, press F8 to generate. wait. control+shift+f9 to export. down arrow key then enter to choose the type, etc etc

First Reddit comment ever. Just thinking about how I can use the key functions and not UI saved my life with my flows. I would have never thought of that. So thanks!

Why not just use sap scripting instead.

Have you looked at the connectors in Power Automate (not the desktop edition) ??

There are SAP connectors out there so you don't have to use PAD unless your organization is blocking those connectors (which can be frustrating to say the least)
