2022-12-09T16:13:17+01:00

No Response from SLP regarding BP Replication?

2022-12-23T14:55:55+01:00

Hello people,

we have SLP in use and we use CIG.
We replicate BusinessPartner from ERP to SLP and from SLP to ERP.

However, the confirmation and requests get stuck in SM Administration from SLP and do not reach CIG (Transaction Tracker in Intergration Portal).

Can you help me why this is?

Import tasks are all enabled.
The settings are the same as in the test system.

If the configuration was wrong, then an entry would appear in the CIG which would then run to a "Failed" or "Error".

Best Regards,

Julien

Is there a report that shows the participants of the Supplier Registration Project?

Add Regions to Ariba Supplier Questionnaire

2023-03-24T18:21:01+01:00

Hello. Our Ariba SLP system syncs supplier entered master data to our SAP back end. Our SAP system requires all Business Partners to have a region entered, both domestic and foreign. For some international suppliers, there are no regions available to choose on their Ariba registration questionnaire. When the payload is synced to SAP, we receive an error because SAP wants a region. How are regions entered into Ariba SLP for countries that do not have them? Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Existing vendor SLP Migration to CIG

2023-06-23T22:09:09+02:00

What should we do to our existing vendors in Ariba SLP to avoid issue in CIG migration?

Our project is currently doing migration from CI9 to CIG.

The existing scenario was: SLP <> CI9 <> S4HANA <> iDoc <> MDG

The future scenario to implement is: SLP <> CIG <> MDG <> iDoc <> S4HANA

Should we delete all vendors in SLP before we Go Live with CIG? Then will do a DRFOUT from MDG?

Or there will be no issue if we migrate CI9 to CIG and existing vendors will still synced?

Replacing UNSPSC codes with the Custom Commodity Codes in ARIBA realm.

2023-08-28T08:56:46+02:00

Hi SAP Experts,

We have a requirement, where there are already UNSPSC codes existing in the Ariba realm and now it is required to replace it with the custom commodity codes in Ariba realm. But here we see a challenge that there are around 800 suppliers in the production realm who are already qualified using the UNSPSC commodity codes, replacing it with the custom commodity codes will result in loss of qualification data.

Here we need your help on how this migration can be handled without loosing the qualification data.

We have a thought of manually disqualifying all the 800 suppliers before replacing the commodity codes and once the new commodity codes are loaded in the system all the suppliers can be requalified for the new commodity codes using mass qualification process. But, manually disqualifying the suppliers involves lot of time and effort.

Can someone please suggest if they have done it earlier and what are the best approaches to handle this requirement.

Authentication in BTP with Ariba

2023-10-04T18:51:33+02:00

Hi Experts,

My company wants to implement a project (Create a portal) in BTP where suppliers registered in the SAP Business Network can log in there and view information about their company. Additionally, for auditing purposes, it should be possible to share tax certificates with the supplier. I have a question: Is there any Ariba API that allows suppliers to go through this authentication process? In other words, with the help of an Ariba API, can supplier users log in and be granted authorization to access the portal created in BTP?

I greatly appreciate your valuable assistance.

I look forward to your comments.

Replicating Matrix Values from SM Process InTake Form to SM Modular Questionnaire

2023-11-01T23:34:03+01:00

Hi Team,

Does anyone know of a creative way to replicate matrix values (Region, Department, Commodity) from the SM Process Project InTake Form to the associated SM Modular Questionnaire? I have a customer who use category assignment to drive the approval flow. This is seeming tricky with external questionnaires. The idea is to ensure the matrix values entered in the InTake form will replicate to the associated SM Modular Questionnaire.

Has anyone been able to successfully do this and if so, are you able to share the configuration?

Thank you in advance.

SLP / Deactivating a Supplier Organization

2023-11-02T07:28:10+01:00

Hi Team,

Does anyone know what the difference is between deactivating a supplier via Administration / Supplier and Customer Manager/ Search for supplier and select the Deactivate button

SM Administration/ Data Import and Export/Suppliers

In an integrated environment, deactivating via Admin kicks off integration and deletes the vendor in S4.

There is a support note KB0402125 which suggests to deactivate via SM Admin.

So does anyone know the difference or is this new functionality?

Thank you in advance.

Unlinking the integration of an Ariba supplier from the SAP supplier

2023-11-15T20:31:58+01:00

Hello experts,

I would like to validate with you if there is a possibility to unlink the integration of an supplier from Ariba with the supplier in SAP, that is, we have an XYZ supplier in Ariba integrated with a supplier in SAP ERP, and the intention is to "Remove" the integration of the XYZ supplier with the SAP ERP supplier. This way, the SAP supplier can be connected through the DFROUT process with a new Ariba supplier with the same characteristics as the XYZ supplier.

Context: We have a supplier in production that is experiencing technical issues in the registration questionnaire, but this supplier is integrated with a supplier in SAP. We want to check if there is a way to eliminate the integration of the supplier experiencing these issues with the supplier in SAP to create a new one in Ariba (with the same characteristics) and connect it through the DFROUT process (or if there is another procedure) with the SAP supplier.

I look forward to your response, and if you need more information, please feel free to let me know.

Thank you very much.

Having SWIFT code mandatory in SLP

2024-03-21T10:09:13.251000+01:00

Hello community,

We are looking to make the SWIFT code mandatory in SLP bank repeatable section. We received response from support that this was not possible. We are now looking at other options e.g. having SWIFT code & IBAN outside the bank repeatable section. If you faced a similar issue in the past we would appreciate sharing how you worked around this limitation.

Kind regards,

Louis

Why doesn't SLP recognize suppliers with special characters (such as 'Ñ') in their TAX ID?

2024-04-23T06:03:55.327000+02:00

Some suppliers use the "Ñ" in their trade name or in the RFC (Tax ID/NIF), but currently SAP Ariba does not support it, especially for SLP. How do you handle this scenario? is there any recommendation?
