Sound familiar?

Manual data entry in SAP affects both the business and IT.

Business user

How do I get another 500 orders and postings into SAP before month-end close?

Our price lists need to keep up with the market, but the current process is too slow.

IT & SAP administration

How do I keep track of who enters what, and validate data before it reaches SAP?

I am still fixing errors that were entered last week.

Process Runner gives the business speed and gives IT control, with the same authorizations in SAP as it is today.

From dozens of screens in SAP to one worksheet

Process Runner uses the transactions in SAP you already know. The difference is in the input: not screen by screen, but everything at once from Excel.

Frequently asked questions

Does anything need to be installed in SAP?

No. Process Runner works as an Excel add-in on the user side and uses the standard SAP transactions. No changes to SAP are needed. Only GLSU uses a small standard installation in SAP for its additional financial checks.

Which SAP versions and databases does Process Runner work with?

With SAP ECC 6.0 and higher and with S/4HANA. It is especially valuable around a migration: before, during and after the move. Process Runner works within your existing SAP authorizations. With the Process Runner DB module you can also connect databases such as SQL Server, Oracle and HANA to SAP, without middleware.

How quickly can we go live?

With the ready-made templates you can often automate your first processes within a few days. In a demo we show what that means for your situation.

What is the difference between Process Runner, GLSU and Wands?

Process Runner automates any SAP transaction. GLSU focuses on financial postings in SAP FICO. Wands is for reporting, analysis and planning with SAP data in Excel. You can use them on their own or together.

Do users need programming skills?

No. Anyone who can work with Excel can work with Process Runner. No ABAP and no scripting.
