Looking to Learn Automation with n8n

Hi everyone,

I recently completedSAP PP (Production Planning) training and would love to start automating related workflows using n8n.

Could someone help me get started? I’m especially curious about:

  • How to set up basic workflows that mirror SAP PP tasks

  • Sample workflows or templates to practice with

  • Easy steps or tips for a beginner

Any guidance or examples to help me apply SAP PP knowledge through n8n would be much appreciated!

Thanks a lot!

Hey @valici7470 welcome to the community.

so you just finished your SAP PP training and you’re excited to start automating workflows with n8n? That’s awesome bro

Let’s get started with some basics. I think it would be really helpful to begin with some simple workflows that mirror SAP PP tasks. You can look at creating production orders, material requirements planning, and production scheduling.

For example, we could set up a workflow that automatically creates a production order when a certain condition is met, like a new sales order coming in. Or, you could create a workflow that calculates material requirements based on production orders and inventory levels.

As for resources, I’d recommend checking out the n8n documentation. There are tons of examples and templates that might be helpful for getting started.

One thing to keep in mind is to start small and build gradually. Don’t try to automate everything at once. Begin with a simple workflow and see how it works. Then, you can build on that and add more complexity.

Also, n8n has a lot of built in nodes that can help you interact with different systems, including SAP. You can explore those nodes and see how they can be used to automate your SAP PP workflows.

I’m here to help, so feel free to ask me any questions or share your ideas, and we can work through them together.

hi there @valici7470 , welcome to the community, there’s a ton of resources where you can learn about n8n, i would suggest starting from youtube and for templates to see from the

tbh, i would say to just learn the basics of n8n, trigger node, core node, data transformation node, http request, handling authorization and after you know all the stuff that i just mentioned

you can create all the workflow you can imagine starting from there and ofcourse you will learn more with the more time you spent exploring this workflow that you’re trying to built

good luck to your n8n journey!

Hi there @valici7470 , how is it going?, if i answered your question please mark my answer as the solution
