How Does the Implemented RPA Solution Work?
The RPA BOT is scheduled to run daily on business days. It starts by downloading Refund Exchange and Paper Ticket reports in PDF format from Application A. For Refund Exchange tickets, the BOT retrieves original PDF tickets from Application B and corresponding ticket details from Application C, consolidating this information into a Word document. The BOT then conducts further validation of ticket information by cross-referencing Application A Database and Application B to ensure accuracy. Additionally, the BOT efficiently manages Paper Tickets by adjusting ticket types and voiding duplicates as needed within the backend Application.
