Sap Enter Text In Field Step

This step puts text into a specific field in an open SAP session. You use it to fill in fields like document numbers, dates, or material codes when you're automating tasks in SAP GUI.

How to Use SAP Enter Text In Field Step

This step helps you automate typing data into SAP fields.

Step 1: Add the Step to Your Workflow

1. Drag the SAP Enter Text In Field Step into your process.

Step 2: Set Up the Step Parameters

1. Reference to SAP instance: Pick the SAP session reference. This needs to be the same as the reference you set up in the Open Sap Session Step.
2. Control Type: Choose the type of control element from the list.
3. Selector: Type in the unique name for the field. This could be an ID, name, or path.
4. Text to Input: Give the text or variable value you want to put into the field.

Important: Make sure the Selector points to the right field. If the selector is wrong, the automation won't find the field.
