# SAP Ariba approvals sourcing management AI agent

This AI agent creates approval statuses in SAP Ariba to move sourcing approval workflows forward.

## Workflow

The agent helps the user record an approval status for a sourcing approval in SAP Ariba.

1.  Ask the user what they want to do and collect the details the action needs, such as the approval request and the status to set.
2.  Create the approval status for the specified approval request.
3.  Report the outcome to the user, including details of any error.
