SAP Automation Package
Installation of the transport
To install the automation package, please follow the same steps as outlined here: Installing RFC Module.
Purpose
Via the Celonis Agent, Action Flows can execute any remote enabled function module a SAP system provides, be it a standard one or a custom one. However, there is some standard SAP functionality which is by default not remote enabled. With the Celonis Automation Package (/CELONIS/PROCESS_AUTOMATION):
Celonis provides wrapper function modules which remote enable standard SAP functionality
Celonis provides standard roles and composite roles to create the required SAP user roles for your specific purposes.
Content
Technically, there is one file containing to transports, one containing the roles and one the code code. The function modules are structured into subpackages for SD, FI, VN and MM. And also the roles are structured via composite roles. Details to all included roles and function modules can be found below.

Please note that the roles (except for the AUTOMATION_BASIS role) contain the maximum authorization for using the corresponding packages (delivery with *) and the authorization to execute the RFC Function Modules. Please check the authorization with your authorization team and if necessary, please restrict them according to your needs.

IMPORTANT
The role AUTOMATION_BASIS should always be assigned to users which are supposed to be used in connection with Celonis Action Flow capabilities. For further information in that particular role, please see SAP User Role CELONIS/AUTOMATION_BASIS.
The provided transports cover multiple scenarios for role implementation, please select the procedure that covers your use case the best.
Composite Role /CELONIS/PROCESS_AUTOMATION:This role includes all composite roles, please select this when you want to activate access to all provided function modules as painless as possible
Composite Role /CELONIS/AUTOMATION_FI (SD, MM, VN):Those composite roles contain the function modules that are assigned to the specific SAP module, please select this role if you want to grant limited access on a per SAP module level. We highly recommend to also consider the RFCs mentioned here for the certain modules. When creating a user to be used for a certain module, or when adding RFC permissions to a certain user, please consider these RFCs as well.
Individual Roles:Those roles contain the required permissions for individual function modules, please select these roles if you want to grant access on a very detailed level.
ATTENTION
If you want to adjust the roles, it is not recommended to use the provided roles as is, instead derive your own set of roles from our templates and include the required organisational restrictions for your specific use cases. This also prevents the situation on that your customized roles are overwritten when deploying an update package at a later time.
