# Using Recorder for SAP Process Steps

## **Prerequisites – Enabling SAP Scripting**

Before using the SAP Recorder, SAP Scripting must be enabled on both the SAP server and SAP client, as described in the Enabling SAP Scripting document

**Enabling SAP Scripting on the Server**

Run transaction RZ11(Usually performed by a SAP administrator)

Verify that Current Value = *TRUE*. If it is *FALSE*, enter *TRUE* in *New Valu*e and save the change

**Enabling SAP Scripting on the Client**

In SAP GUI, go to: *More* → *SAP GUI settings and actions* → *Options*

After completing these steps, SAP Scripting is ready to be used.

## **Preparation Before Recording**

Before starting the recording carefully walk through the entire process in advance. This helps avoid:

-   unnecessary steps
-   incorrect navigation
-   additional actions that should not be recorded

Whenever possible, use keyboard shortcuts (hotkeys) instead of mouse clicks:

-   Enter – confirm / select function
-   Ctrl + S – save
-   Shift + F3 – exit the function
-   other standard SAP shortcuts as applicable

  
Before starting the recording, log in to the SAP application manually.

## **Recording Process in SAP Recorder**

Open the SAP application and log in manually. Once logged in, start the Recorder from the Process Editor using the shortcut CTRL + G. After the Recorder has started, click on the required functional button or transaction in SAP and execute the process exactly as it should be recorded. During execution, it is recommended to use keyboard inputs whenever possible in order to ensure clean and consistent recording. When the process is functionally complete, stop the Recorder. The Recorder will then automatically close the SAP session.

After the recording is finished, review the recorded steps in the Recorder to ensure that all actions were captured correctly. Copy the recorded steps and paste them into your target process. Please note that the Recorder does not capture passwords, so the password must be manually added to the Open SAP step where required.
