We have a bot which interacts with SAP. for multiple iterations, sometimes we get the error that “Incorrect path Entered” . we have extracted the path at the moment of error, which is exactly same as the path that is in the code. Path - wnd0]/usr/tabsTAXI_TABSTRIP_OVERVIEW/tabpT\01/ssubSUBSCREEN_BODY:SAPMV45A:4400/subSUBSCREEN_TC:SAPMV45A:4900/tblSAPMV45ATCTRL_U_ERF_AUFTRAG/ctxtRV45A-MABNRM1,1]

 

this works sometimes, and because it is in a loop, it fails on 2nd iteration onwards only (Not fixed, sometimes 2nd, 3rd or 4th)

 

Any help on this would be appreciated.

 

Hi ​@naman.pathak110893 ,

 

SAP screens may not be fully loaded when the bot attempts to access the field. Add a Wait for object or Delay action before interacting with the element. Even a 1–2 second delay can stabilize the loop.

Or,

After the first iteration, the SAP window might lose focus or shift context slightly. Use Activate Window before each iteration to ensure the SAP window is in the foreground.

Or,

SAP tables can re-render or shift internal IDs slightly between iterations. Instead of hardcoding the path, try using a relative path or re-capturing the object dynamically in each loop using the Object Cloning.

Or,

If you're copying/pasting or using the clipboard, stale data might interfere. Clear the clipboard at the start of each loop iteration.

Or,

SAP might be caching or altering the session state after the first interaction. Try closing and reopening the transaction or screen between iterations or use a subtask to isolate each loop.

 

Advanced Workarounds

 

Use VBScript or SAP GUI scripting: If the field is stable in scripting, you can bypass the object recognition quirks.
