Melhoria contínua da gestão de processos do sistema SAP ECC® por meio de programação VBA® e SAP script

Abstract

The variety of existing processes in large companies generates an amount of information and data that needs to be well managed. Most companies use the SAP® system in their business management, integrating all their departments. Despite all the solutions that the system offers, several processes performed by professionals using this system are executed manually, generating a quantity of time required for data entry and obtaining the desired information. Another disadvantage of manual execution in the SAP® system is the possibility of entering incorrect data, which in turn generates incorrect information. This study consisted in the application of programming tools as strategy to improve the process management in the SAP® system of the Human Resources department of a large food company, in order to provide great gains in time and quality in the execution of the processes. Once all processes performed in the SAP® system have been surveyed, some of the processes are performed daily and manually, stating the need for automation. The approach of the topic proposes the application of the management of the processes through the integration of the programming VBA® and SAP Script, in order to obtain a greater control of the processes. The results showed that after implementing the methodology of the proposal, there were significant improvements in the time spent with the processes, in the quality of information generation and in the management of activities with the SAP® system. The overall result shows a temporal gain of approximately 36 minutes, totaling a temporal improvement of approximately 26% for the processes evaluated in the project.
