In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, organizations are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic process automation (RPA) to enhance operational efficiency and supply chain performance. This paper explores the integration of AI and RPA within SAP Variant Configuration (VC) systems, focusing on how these technologies can streamline processes, reduce errors, and improve responsiveness to market demands. By automating repetitive tasks and leveraging AI-driven insights, companies can achieve greater agility, optimize resource allocation, and drive excellence in their supply chain management. The findings underscore the transformative potential of these technologies in SAP VC environments and provide a roadmap for successful implementation.
