SAP non-visible elements

Help Activities

Hi all,
I am trying to automate some entries in SAP (see screenshot)
image

The target is always found when indicating but the entry or click of the element does not work when debugging. According to the error message, the element is not visible.
This is confirmed when I choose “Visible” from the Options: the Target is not found anymore:

Does anybody have a possible solution? What can I do to get to those fields?

@KatjaNi,

Don’t use click to popup that options window. Use click activity to take your cursor to that textbox.

Once cursor is at position use Keyboard Shortcut and send F4 key to open that popup.

Thanks,

After rereading we do understand that you want to click on Lupe?
often we can handle this with FX keys e.g.

Send Hotkey / Keyboard Shortcuts into the Box (where value is 06) and let enter F12 or try any other FX

The problem is that the “Click” Activity (or Type Into) does not work.
Error: Cannot get the screen rectangle of this UI node. A possible reason might be that the element is not visible.
The target is not found in any case.

This would be an option but unfortunately I cannot click the field in the first place (because it is invisible to UiPath?)

@KatjaNi,

Click manually on any other field before you try to select the Region text box and then select the textbox selectors.

I had been into this. Crazy thing :exploding_head:

I don’t really understand what you mean.

@KatjaNi,

Let me try to explain.

  1. Click on 1 marked textbox manually. This is to avoid that small icon appears on Region textbox right side.

  2. Go to Studio, Drag Click activity → Indicate element → highlight the Region Textbox
  3. Keyboard Shortcut activity → Send F4 to open the Region selection popup.

I don’ have SAP to show you exactly but hope so this is understandable.

Thanks,
Ashok :slight_smile:

Dear @ashokkarale
I see. But this does not work because the Click also doesn’t work for the other fields in the screenshot. Neither “Straße” nor “Postleitzahl” etc.
The problem is not the region textbox and to open the popup but to get the click activity to work on ANY of the fields :frowning:

Let me summarize the session, so we can finalize the topic

  • switching to default Theme for RnDs
  • playing / checking the input method and disabling the activate Flag, when not relevant to the input method

Doing this, we were able to see the bot correctly typping in / doing the click

The correct combination for my problem was the following…
Input mode: Hardware events
Activate: neither true nor false
