Hi all,
Is it possible to replicate master data (material master, purchasing org, purchasing group, etc) from SAP ERP into Ariba Sourcing? Then, is it feasible to use, instead of pre-loaded UNSPSC commodity codes, ERP material master in Sourcing Projects?
Our customer wants to use their own material master in sourcing projects.
Regards
Looking to speak with individuals who have used, currently used or looking to use the on-demand Ariba Services Procurement module to manage some or all of their contingent labor program. I would love to get feedback mary.belin@searshc.com
Thanks,
Hi Experts,
Question 1:
Does anyone have experience of implementing Ariba P2O with SAP ECC as backend system ( where SRM is replaced with Ariba - This is not essential ) ?
Question 2:
Does anyone have field mapping information to load the data from SAP ECC to Ariba?
Background information:
We are implementing Ariba P2O out of the box solution, replacing SRM with Ariba solution.
As part of this process, we need to upload 33 csv files,
Ariba standard extract provides around 17 files, and other files we need to generate.
Scenario Information:
For following files, we need SAP field mapping: ( Some fields have a fields which of its own do not make sense, unless there is a specific table to dig the information.)
eg: in ERPCommodityCodeMap.csv, Ariba needs column values where a link between Material Grp, G/L acc, company code, Asset, Internal Order etc is maintained. SAP do not store the information in this format for direct extract, hence, i am finding the table-fields for extracting this data. However, just the field like company code, of its own do not give proper information, unless it is somehow linked to Material Group in SAP.
Question3:
Is this assumption correct?
Question 4:
How this information was obtained, where SAP ECC was used as backend system

Hi all,
I am new to Ariba and trying to integrate my procurement solution with an Ariba implementation.
The flow I am looking for, is a little different from the general recommended flow. In our case,
- the approval of the items in the cart is in the procurement solution (not Ariba).
- once approved, the order will be transfered to Ariba. This will create a PO in Ariba and pass the Ariba PO number number back to the procurement solution for reference.
I am trying to find out how I can achieve that.
How can I send a Punchout Request to Ariba, to automatically create a PO and pass back the PO number? Is it possible?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks !
Hi all,
Is there any "Data Model" existing?
On a reporting point of view, I need to understand all links between tables in sourcing
Thank you in advance
Hi all,
It sounds we can not create 2 (or more) suppliers with the same name (but with a different ID). Am I wrong ?
Thank you for your answer

Hi Exchange,
How are suppliers from Ariba Network imported to SIPM module?
Is there a detailed step by step guide?
Thanks/Lalith
HELLO
We are deploying cloud integration CI7 for integrating SIPM with SAP ERP. Want to know whether we can integrate SIPM with SAP without MDG-S.
Our client is looking to implement Ariba SIM to manage all vendor information, which then needs to be replicated in downstream ERP systems.
A major requirement is to be able to store multiple addresses on the supplier profile, which is simple enough, and Ariba does allow you to store that information as part of the Supplier Profile. However, when we are looking to use the Supplier Profile Data export option through integration manager, we are not able to view the multiple addresses that are stored against the supplier profile, only the main address is available for export. We looked at different services, like organization IDs export, organization IDs with vendor keys export, however, none of these have any of the additional addresses that we had stored against the supplier profile.
Please assist in letting us know if
Thanks,
Is anyone aware of any issues regarding pushing/pulling data to/from Ariba where my SAP system is ECC6 non-uniocde?
I would also like to know how many times the toolkit needs to be installed as my SAP landscape is sandbox, dev, qa, prod.
Can I use one toolkit and change to point to a different ERP backend?
Or does it need to be installed for each environment (note I am using SAP rfc not JDBC)
Thanks!
Hi,
What's the difference between the Ariba P2P and Ariba P2P(FPC)? Thank you.
Hi Exchange,
Does Ariba Supplier Network display a list of qualified suppliers automatically?
Is there a way that I define a certain criteria as buyer and then based on that, network pulls out list of all qualifying suppliers (with no action from suppliers after I post the criteria?)
Thanks/Lalith
Hi guys,
I´m trying to use scoring for award a RFP Project and I have three main doubts:
Many thanks for everything!!
Ana
Dear all,
We are in process of implementation of sourcing module and we want to understand the available functionality of partial awarding in sourcing module. Any documentation will help us to understand the concept of partial award in Ariba. For example, if we want to award out of 100 quantity only 50 to a vendor and rest I want to award to same vendor later on. Do I need to open a new project to award remaining 50 quantities or we can use same event to award remaining quantity? Can we track the quantity awarded, quantity remaining and other details.
Thanks,
Sandeep
Hi there,
Have any of you found documentation, blogs, white papers, presentations or studies where Ariba Buyer (9r1 ideally) and SAP SRM 7 are being compared?
I have seen some interesting blogs on spendmatters.com, a Gartner study, some SAP links (distinct SAP flavor! :-)), but nothing on Connect or Exchange. Of course a big point for Ariba is the ASN; what are the others?
Seems the trend is to compare both options, and we are at the gathering input stage... :-)
Thanks!

Serving 200 countries and generating nearly 6 billion euros in 2009 revenues, TNT Express is a leading global provider of door-to-door air and road express delivery services. In addition to driving packages, TNT Express is driving invoice automation effectiveness, and is on track to achieve a 300% productivity improvement of invoices processed per full time staff on a global basis.
As the featured speaker of our December 7 webinar, Jonathon Crumblehulme, TNT Express P2P program manager, explained how Ariba is helping extend its SAP environment for global e-Invoicing. As Jonathon tells it, Ariba simply offers a better solution for inter-enterprise invoice processing than SAP. Ariba’s solution supports multiple file formats including e-files (eg. EDI, cXML, CSV) from large suppliers, and the PO-Flip® functionality that allows suppliers to create an invoice from a purchase order to reduce data entry time and avoid errors.
While acknowledging that paper invoice scanning and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology is part of a complete invoice process automation solution, Jonathon sees it as a short-term fix. “The core of our solution involves supplier invoices delivered through the Ariba Network,” he said. “Our expectation is to move our suppliers to e-invoicing.”
I shared some recent Billentis Market research, showing where in the past it has been difficult to find a suitable solution provider for global e-Invoicing needs, today’s challenge is in finding a provider who can offer a broad range of solutions for the next wave of automation savings. While essentially every global e-Invoice provider offers VAT compliance and format flexibility, only a few providers, like Ariba, offer the next level of automation for e-Procurement, catalog management, e-Invoicing, payment remittance, and working capital optimization.
An audience poll revealed that two-thirds of webinar attendees plan to go beyond e-invoicing and include related business processes such as catalog and content management, purchase order and payment automation, and early payment discounts in their e-Invoicing initiatives. At TNT Express, Ariba Procurement Content for managing supplier catalogs was a valuable enhancement to its e-invoicing solution.
“Ariba has a powerful network that is not just for e-invoicing, and offers many supplier management tools,” said Jonathon.
Early indications are that TNT Express is on track to achieve 300% productivity savings with Ariba e-Invoicing. I sure look forward to monitoring their success as their global e-Invoice program unfolds.
If you would like a copy of the webinar slides, send me an email request at jtucker@ariba.com

Hi,
We are looking to build an RFP for car services. This is our first time building an event for this type of service. We are just looking for some ideas, samples, etc on how this event can be structured.
Does anyone have an example RFP of how it should be set up?
Thanks!
which kind of invoices should pay through purchase order and other should not? what kind of service should have a PO invoice and non PO invoice?
Hello, my company is implementing Ariba P2P and in the phase of design. We using a separate Financial system (GL/AP). The system implementer mentioned Ariba is never a System of Record for Supplier Master, reason given is because Ariba only capture small set of data.
And design given are SIM form process for supplier information input --> push to on-premise Financial AP as supplier master --> push to Ariba P2P
I find reason given lack clarity and questionable. Can SIM be Supplier Master technically speaking? And if yes, are this common practice or recommended? What would be the drawback of having SIM as Supplier Master?
Hi !
I´m having a problem when consuming de WSDL that exports the supplier profiles. Im getting this:
"The prefix 'soapenv' is not defined"
Any ideas?
Thank you,
