Abstract: The period we are going through now has not been a very good one from an economic point of view. Many companies have suffered, some have reduced their number of employees, others have closed. Sad but true, in the conjuncture given by this Coronavirus, life had some major losses. Even ERP-type system implementations have suffered. From an analysis made this year, the number of implementations decreased by up to 60%. All the started projects were maintained, but new projects started, there were very few. In this paper, the author wants to bring to the fore the reopening of large companies to RPA-robotic Process Automation but also the involvement of AI-Artificial Intelligence in automating economic processes within existing subcomponents. One thing to consider is that social distancing, working from home, the growing existence of people (physically speaking) in factories, leads to a rethinking of monitoring, control and action strategies for those who work with machines (their automation being a stringent and uninhabitable thing). Where SAP is an integrated system-things are moving very well due to the multitude of existing interfaces and the fact that this system adapts very quickly to the requirements of the business environment. In this study we will make some remarks about the way in which software robots appear in our lives, they help to achieve repetitive and long-lasting things. We used here an implementation scenario made with the help of UiPath software robots, these having the role of automating some economic processes, we mention here P2P (Procure-to-pay), in a factory producing car components for other car manufacturers, from all over the world.
