The PR was set back to composing because ship to of item 2 is different from that in user interface

2023-05-16T12:09:43+02:00

A requester belongs to company code 4760. She needs to create PRs for bothe company code 4760 and 5212.

Step 1 She created PR3661 with two lines under company code 4760 and submitted it.

Step 2 Later on, she withdrew the PR and editted the PR for company code 5212 and submitted it.

Step 3 After the PR was fully approved, PR3661-V2 was generated and was in Composing status with the error message:

Error Message = No postings can be made to profit center 2400015212 in company code 4760.

In the payload, the ship to of item 2 was still 4760-001 while the ship to of item 2 was SDTL in user interface.

SAP Ariba Integration

2023-07-13T02:49:32+02:00

Hi Experts

I have a requirement whereby SAP Ariba (Sourcing) need to connect with another cloud based 3rd party (Web) application.

When a sourcing event RFx is triggered to a supplier, there should be an underlying link (embedded in the sourcing event) by clicking the link it should allow the suppliers to sign in to the 3 party application and eventually allows to maintain the cost/pricing details.

Later the cost/price details from the 3rd party application shall flow to SAP Ariba.

Have anyone enabled such interface between SAP Ariba and another 3rd Party application ? What are the API's are used ? can you share some links/insights.

Thanks

Net price issue Ariba -S4 Hana CIG.

2024-02-01T09:28:14.722000+01:00

I am writing to report an issue with the Ariba-S4 Hana CIG system. When adding a second item line in Ariba and transmitting it to SAP 4HANA, the net price of the new item line created in the SAP purchase order is not the same as the net price contained in the message, even though the message contains the correct net price.

This issue only occurs when a new line is added to the Ariba order. Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue?

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Ariba Developer Portal Authentication

2024-02-08T14:56:13.445000+01:00

I'm unable to authenticate into Ariba developer portal through two factor authentication. The passcode generated by the app is not accepted. I've tried using Microsoft, Google and SAP authenticators and passcodes generated by them are not accepted. I've written to Ariba SSO team but there has been no response. Has anyone faced this issue in the past and any workarounds available ? Please advise.

Thanks

SAP Ariba - Approval Task with Multiple Approvers

2024-02-09T18:32:42.450000+01:00

I'm not sure if I answered the "Where do you want to post this question?" question correctly. My company uses SAP Ariba Spend Management to store our contracts and as a workflow with our internal contract reviewers. Our original implementation was set up to accommodate for our main contract reviewer General Counsel. However, what we really need is one task that sends both of our General Counsel(s) a notification and applies them both as the owner of the task, and whoever does the review of that contract "acquires" the task as their own for reporting purposes.

Does anyone have any detailed instructions, articles, or resources as to how to fix this on the customer end? I'm pretty good with databases and programming on the UI so, I'd like to try to fix it myself before paying our implementation company to change the task.

Apply TeamMemberRules from one Template to another

2024-02-09T18:41:54.720000+01:00

We use our instance of Ariba SAP to store our contracts as well as a workflow for our internal contract reviewers. When I create a new User, I create their User page, assign them their groups, apply the new User spreadsheet to our Requestors spreadsheet, and then apply that Requestors spreadsheet to our Sales and Procurement Templates. I'm able to update the TeamMemberRulesTemplate_CCC in our Sales Template, but I get multiple errors when applying this exact same spreadsheet to the Procurement Template. These errors state the none of the people in our original implementation group are available and therefore we cannot publish the Template. Any ideas as to why this would be happening? My apologies for the vagueness, I'm not sure what other information one may need for this issue and am happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability.

Updated question to include screenshot of error. Redacted company-specific names and email addresses, minus suspected issues.

Filter Measures in Reports

2024-02-09T18:47:01.413000+01:00

We use our instance of Ariba Spend Management to store and workflow our contracts.

When using the reporting feature, how does one filter the measures? For example, if I were to use the [Workspace Duration] Measure option, how do I filter our all of the workspaces that do not equal 1 for the [Workspace Duration]? Or, how do I filter our all of the workspaces that have a [Workspace Duration] Measure < 1?

My apologies for the vagueness, I'm not sure what all someone may need to answer a question like this. I will answer any questions you may have.

Filtering based on Custom Fields

2024-02-09T18:58:43.283000+01:00

Hello, we use our Ariba Spend Management to store and workflow contracts. We have a few custom fields including the person that requested the contract review, the type of document being reviewed, whether the review is needed ASAP, and many more. When I attempt to create a report of any of these things, they are not available to be used in reports. For example, if I wanted to create a report of all of the requests that a specific person made in the last year, I am not able to do this. I created a Service Request and the SAP Agent stated that this functionality is not available in Ariba and told me to do an implementation suggestion.

Are any of you able to filter based on custom fields? I am skeptical and a bit frustrated. Thanks for your help in advance.

Enable Ariba PR Edit Approval only for Total PR Cost Changes

2024-02-20T16:06:55.400000+01:00

Hi All,

I am looking for guidance to update the configuration for Ariba PR approval flow. Currently we have configured and applied different rules for approval in terms of resubmit however, there is requirement where business wants to retrigger the approval only when PR edit and total value changes in terms of increase only. Current config, when PR line item quantity and price changes, then PR trigger for Approval. I have tried different conditions and rules, but could not succeed the result. So appreciate if someone guide me and confirm that is it possible to retrigger the PR approval only when there is increase in total cost of PR, instead of increase in line item Qty and price. (Example : Line item 1 : Qty - 10 and Unit Price - 100 and Line Item 2 : Qty -15 and Unit Price - 100. PR Edit - Line Item 1 - Qty - 15 and Unit Price - 100 and Line Item 2 : Qty - 10 and Unit Price - 100. For this scenario currently PR trigger for approval due to one of line item qty and unit price increase, so we don't want this retrigger approval.)

Replacement for SAP SRM when migrating to S/4 HANA On-premise

2024-04-04T13:38:03.110000+02:00

Hi,

Can you tell me what all are the alternatives one have for replacement SAP SRM and SAP Lean Catalog, when one migrate to S/4 HANA On-premise?

This is a case were SAP SRM is not extensively used, but limited to Self-Service Procurement functionality in SAP SRM system to create shopping carts, confirmation using lean catalog, punch-out catalogs, free text and limit etc. We also have SAP Lean Catalog. Purchase Orders are created in ERP and Invoice is also handled in ERP.

Is Ariba is the only option or do we have any products which can meet todays SRM+Lean Catalog functionality in SAP S/4 HANA On-premise as well?

If you propose Ariba, is it possible to buy licenses for whaever modules we need in Ariba alone?

Regards

Vineeth Varghese

ECC to S4HANA Migration Impact on Ariba P2P Purchase orders

2024-04-10T13:25:25.123000+02:00

Hi Experts,

We are migrating ECC to S4HANA via brownfield approach with existing Business Partners and Master Data. There is existing integration using CIG with Ariba P2P and Sourcing.

During Data Migration, can we keep open POs (with PO numbers) from ECC in S4HANA? or Is there a need to close and recreate the POs in S4HANA?

How can we enable / trigger Ariba email notifications for invoices which are in "Composing Status"?

2024-05-07T07:19:42.586000+02:00

There are some scenarios where the suppliers are unable to send invoices over network due to various reasons, in those cases they email the invoices to the respective requester & they create paper invoices in Ariba buyer account. There are cases where requesters initiate paper invoices but sometimes ends up in composing status without submission. we are trying to understand if there is any way or workaround to get email notification triggered for all invoices which are in composing status, any assistance is much appreciated.
