sap-functions 1.2

A utility package for sap automations

sap_functions

Library with utility classes and functions to facilitate the development of SAP automations in python.

This module is built on top of SAP Scripting and aims to making the development of automated workflows easier and quicker.

Implementation example

from sap_functions import SAP

sap = SAP()
sap.select_transaction("COOIS")

This script:

Checks for existant SAP GUI instances. Connects to that instance. Write "COOIS" in the transaction field.
