Let’s take a look on a macro which I wrote to automate creation of a repport for
a Accounts Payable team.
Manual creation of the report and closing Purchase Orders takes about 60 minutes.
which multipied by 16 users in the team and 12 months gives 24 work days per year.
With macro it takes about 6 hours per year.
1. It is stored in an Excel file.
After opening it, you have to
specify some criteria and click a
button.
2. Then a new windows opens
for some more details.
3. SAP starts to work, report is
generated in a new file and
saved. Purchase Orders listed
on the report are copied to SAP
and closed if the user approves.
