Hi Phil - the link to the "SAP Integration Learning Series" above is a dead end. Goes generically to "Microsoft Power Platform documentation". Was this a typo or a placeholder for the content Jon mentioned, when it's available later? Love the series BTW =)
@@jongilman Thank for the update Jon. I have a very large project coming up with a large US based transportation company and our team is really looking forward to this including our entire south americian team who specializes in SAP. I'll hit you up in LI and perhaps we can connect.
Question for Jon Gilman - When do you think these power apps and corresponding flows will be available for customer use? Should be expect release of all power apps (250) and flows(4K) together or in phased approach?
For indirect use, you have 2 options: 1. Service Users - not recommended because you will not have a proper audit trail 2. Named Indirect Users - you can purchase indirect licenses for named SAP users which cost less than a direct named user license.
Hey @@jongilman we really need to avoid indirect use and within my organisation anything that connects to SAP is seen as a possible indirect use issue. Assuming we use named users who have a sap account then using this toolkit we wouldn't be at risk of an indirect use is that correct.
Curious to know if there is a template that can help automate the SAP account creation for a new / existing AD user?
There will be soon, in the meantime check out the APIs that begin with BAPI_USER*. You can use these to automate user creation.
Hi Phil and Jon, When do you think this series will be live?
Huge, master!

Thanks for the heads up! I've fixed it above to point here: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/sap-integration/overview
The learning series is in progress. We are targeting February 2023 for completion.

It will be phased. We will release Procure to Pay, Order to Cash, and Record to Report this year (2023).
With the concerns surrounding indirect use with SAP how does the SAP connector old and new address these concerns?
For indirect use, you have 2 options:
1. Service Users - not recommended because you will not have a proper audit trail
2. Named Indirect Users - you can purchase indirect licenses for named SAP users which cost less than a direct named user license.

Curious to know if this valid for S/4HANA only or that it applies to R/3 too?
It works for R/3, ECC, and S/4 HANA.
