Hi there,
Another quick question :-)
Does anyone know whether it is possible to run a report which shows what documents have been uploaded to a contract workspace?
Thanks,

Remove/delete an item from a cart with Level 2 punchout?
We are building Level 2 (i.e. product level) punchout into our supplier application. We've run into a challenge with no solution in the Ariba's documentation. Specifically, after we return an OrderMessage that populates the Ariba cart with an item, what if the buyer decides they do not want the item? How do they remove it from Ariba and how is that communicated back to the supplier system? While we find Ariba supports "edit" and "inspect" setup requests for punching back into an item, there is no "delete" request. A little background might help here. In our punchout architecture, we are populating a cart in our application that mirrors the cart generated in Ariba. In order to keep them in sync,we need a way to remove items from our cart. But in Level 2 punchout, the buyer never sees the supplier cart (only the Ariba cart). Unfortunately, using an "edit" request and setting the item quantity to zero (0) does not work in our application - all quantities must by >= 1. Perhaps when items are removed from the Ariba cart, they are simply not included in the OrderRequest communication, which should be our signal to remove any missing items from our cart?
Anyone out there run into this before? Have I missed an Ariba cXML communication that does this?
Thanks!

Web Service to Create Sourcing Request
Hi,
I'm relatively new in Ariba system.
I just wanted to ask if there's a web service we can call to create a sourcing request in Ariba?

Attach a link or an attachment in punchout
Hi,
I have a question on PunchOut Catalog - we would like to include a link or an attachment when a buyer user returns from our site (i.e. including this into the punch out_order_message)
From the cXML dtd it looks we can include this but while testing on the Ariba Network test account :
1. when including the link as
<AttachmentReference version="1">
<Name xml:lang="en">test link</Name>
<Description xml:lang="en">description for test link</Description>
<InternalID>1234</InternalID>
<URL>https://website.com/path/to/file</URL>
</AttachmentReference>
the message is received correctly but the link is not displayed anywhere (even when I review the details of the order line item)
2. when I include an attachment as
<Comments>
<Attachment>
<URL>cid:attachment@website.com</URL>
</Attachment>
</Comments>
</ItemIn>
</PunchOutOrderMessage>
</Message>
</cXML>
--kdflkajfdksadjfk
Content-type: text/plain
Content-ID: attachment@website.com
This is just a text document - here will be the invoice pdf file
--kdflkajfdksadjfk--
When the cxml message is received into Ariba Network, I get an error and it complains about the part after <cXML> tag
My basic question is if its possible to include an attachment or a link as part of the message returned from the punch out site into Ariba P2P and if so (in case of link for example) how it will render into Ariba P2P
Thanks,
Fred

Web-Service Error for Import Sourcing Project
Hi Experts,
We are integrating our ERP with Ariba On-Demand solution. We will implement upstream intergation using web-services. We will call SourcingProjectImport web-service from our EAI to create sourcing project in Ariba.
We have went through the steps given in Upstream integration guide and followed the steps given in it.
We have configured the inbound end point using http authentication and enabled SourcingProjectImport web-service. Then, we have downloaded the WSDL file for the web-service. We have tested the web-service. We are getting following fault response when calling the web-service :
<soapenv:Body>
<soapenv:Fault>
<Faultcode>Internal Server Error</Faultcode>
<Faultstring>Could not find processor for request</Faultstring>
<Detail>Invalid incoming request /Sourcing/soap/C86/XXXXXX/SourcingProjectImport?null</Detail>
</soapenv:Fault>
</soapenv:Body>
Do anyone have any idea if we are missing any setting / configuration or some additional configuration required at our Ariba site ?
Thanks & Regards,
Sami.

Feasibility check - using of EForms and DForms for shipment tracking
Hi Exchange,
Ariba Eforms and Dforms are used for customization. Some people on the forum mentioned using them in SIPM and Sourcing modules.
Can somebody confirm if they can be used in the below scenario -
We need to track and trace PO deliverables and material movements. The information is updated by transporters through a web service.
Let me know if the question is ambiguous.
Thanks/Lalith

Limitation of reportable fields in the SPQ - How do you run reporting?
Dear User Community,
we are currently in the process of implementing the SIM module for our global vendor on-boarding.
Looking at the draft version of our SPQ, we already have a list of 130 questions/fields.
Based on the feedback from Ariba only 100 questions/fields are reportable in the analytical reporting and this is even restricted by type of question/field.
We are really having issues with this constraint, as obviously we want to have almost all fields/questions in the SPQ reportable as other functions are using it to collect relevant supplier information.
Moreover we didn't repeat any of the Ariba commerce cloud questions/fields in our SPQ e.g. diversity information, but we got told that Ariba commerce cloud data is also not reportable in the Ariba analytical reporting. Only fields/questions from our SPQ would be reportable.
How are you dealing with this constraint of reportable fields?
Are you extracting data from the SPQ and Ariba commerce cloud and using external reporting capabilities?
I'm really pleased about any answer which could help to solve this problem!
Thank you!

Does ARIBA suits EPC project in oil and gas business?
Hello,
I would like to understand whether ARIBA is a suitable tool when it comes to manage procurement for a large EPC contractor operating in the oil and gas industry.
Is ARIBA able to provide the following:
1) When I'm looking for a Supplier, am I able to see for each product category their application field?
2) Once the order is placed, is ARIBA able to manage all hard and soft deliverables (material and documentation)?
3) Can ARIBA implement a delivery schedule for each deliverable?
4) Can it measure the progress for each deliverable?
5) Is it able to provide KPI for each Supplier?
6) Which performances the software is able to manage and is it possible to get them customised?
7) Is there any tool built in to expedite Vendor activity?
8) How about reporting: is it able to provide status of all Vendors + progress for each deliverable in real time?
9) In case of a project, is the software able to manipulate all Vendor data to provide an overall progress/status pictures?
10) Is there any module available to issue formal communication (instruction, queries, concession, ...) between buyer and seller?
11) Can you provide a list of ARIBA Clients in the oil and gas industry?
Thanks

Cant approve a new supplier after I have made changes to the SPQ
I updated the Supplier Profile Questionnaire, I added some new questions and update others, once I know these are working in the test site I will be require to make them in the live site.
I "ok" the changes and published the template.
Done nothing different to what I've done before.
I then created a test supplier via the test self-registration link to make sure the questions were pulling through for the supplier – these worked fine.
As the supplier I submitted the SPQ.
I then logged back on as me to approve this new supplier and I get the following message:
"You must complete all predecessor tasks before you can start the approval task for new supplier organisation"
Can you let me know what this means – as I can't approve this supplier.
I've done this 3 times now and I cant approve any of my test suppliers.
Does changing the template has anything to do with any further prerequisite?

I need to be notified of when suppliers submit first answer to SPQ
Hi everyone.
1. Facts
- I need to create suppliers with the unapproved status;
- I (customer-user) am not notified of suppliers' first answer to the Supplier Profile Questionnaire (SPQ).
2. Tried solution
I thought that the only way to create this automatic notification was to create a task in the Supplier Workspace Template with the following configurations:
| Task Field | My configuration |
|---|---|
| Type | Notification |
| Due date | 0 days after parent phase starts (i.e., the day in which the supplier is created) |
| Notification days | 1 day before due date |
| Notification frequency | Only once |
| Should Auto-start Schedule | ticked |
| Requires manual completion | ticked |
| Start date | Template |
| Conditions | Linked to a condition that is True when a field in the SPQ is not null (i.e., when it is filled with an answer) |
| Predecessors | None |
3. Results
I found that the notification task works when it is triggered. In other words, the condition works and the notification is sent.
Nevertheless, the only way that the notification is triggered is by entering the task through Edit and leave it (even if with no edit done).
This obviously defeats the purpose.
Can someone tell me how to configure the task, or any other way that allows me to have such an automated notification system of suppliers' first answer to the SPQ?

Contract Management update template parameter testing (Application.ACM.EnableTemplateVersionUpgrade parameter)
I am looking to enable the Application.ACM.EnableTemplateVersionUpgrade parameter but need to validate that it will perform as expected across multiple previous template versions when an amendment is initiated on an older workspace. However, I am unable to reactivate previous templates to fully test. Is there anyone out in the community that has worked through this issue or are facing the same challenge? Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks!

Ensuring compliant Surrogate Bidding
Hi
How can Ariba ensure that a buyer is not using Surrogate Bidding e.g. in an auction to put a vendor under pressure, misleading him that a fake competitor is offering lower prices (that actual was the buyer himself)? Thanks.
