Creating a workflow with Business rules

Help Studio
1

Hi everyone.
I was tasked with creating a workflow to automate a process that takes place in SAP for invoice entry. There are business rules that I need to enforce when it comes to processing line items in an invoice and I have no idea how to build these business rules in.

The data is assumed to be coming from a json file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

Welcome to the community

  1. Use webapi package and you will have activity fir deserialize json…which will let you access the json data.check this on how to access json keys
    Extracting Fields from JSON - #6 by ppr
  2. For sap related activities you have specific to sap and you can as well use combination of ui activities
  3. Generally business rules are like checking aome conditions so we would use if,switch etc depending on scenario

Hope this helps

Cheers

Hi @Loveness01

Welcome to UiPath Community!!

  1. Read in the JSON file containing the invoice data using the “Deserialize JSON” activity, then
  2. Use a “For Each” loop to iterate through each line item in the invoice.
  3. Within the loop, use If-Else statements to enforce the business rules for each line item.
  4. Then use variables and counters to keep track of the total amount and other relevant data for the invoice.
  5. Once all line items have been processed, use a “Finalize Invoice” activity to create the invoice in SAP or output the data to a file or database.

Thanks!
