3421976 - SAP GUI Scripting - Different / missing field IDs

Symptom

When using SAP GUI scripting or other Robotic process automation (RPA) tool, it may be observed that the field IDs for a specific SAP GUI input field can vary across different systems.

For example:

  • System XXX 
    session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxt[0]").text = "123123" 
  • System YYY
    session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtRC29N-MATNR").text = "123123" 

The expected behavior would be a single ID for specific FIELDS for all systems, then it is less effort to configure Scripting for multiple systems.
