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?

Need help to get Supplier location deleted in Ariba when the BP vendor is blocked /deletion flag set

Hi Team,

We are facing an issue when the BP vendor record is set for deletion flag / Posting block in S4 & it should trigger the "Supplier Location delete & Remittance Location delete" file on the BADI - ARBCIG_MASTERDATA but it is not triggering any data in the arbcig_changedoc to send this file to Ariba to delete the respective supplier's location.

Appreciate any inputs to fix the above issue on the SLP - S4 integration / sync.

We are created Instances services as Master Data Integration and Subscription services as Master Data Integration (Orchestration).
We have use this JSON below to create the service instance.

{
    "application": "s4",
    "businessSystemId": "<businessSystemId>", //Business System ID is SAP S/4HANA Cloud system this value is can be found under Communication systems tile and then filter by Own System.

Created new project in managed gateway to connection from Managed Gateway to MDI (BTP). We are encountering a 404 error while testing the connection.
Configure in CIG inbound URL is https://<one-mds.cfapps.<region>.hana.ondemand.com>/businesspartner/v0/soap/BusinessPartnerBulkReplicateRequestIn?tenantId=<identityzone>
For basic authentication, specify the following:
User: Value of clientid from the Service key
Password: Value of clientsecret from the Service key
While triggering business partner replication from S4PC its successfully reaching BTP but not in Ariba (Manage Gateway).
How to send master data from MDI to Ariba solution?
Can you please share configuration guide for this?

Could you please help me on this Integration connection.

How to clear forecast when there is no history in SAP IBP

2025-01-16T20:54:04.081000+01:00

Hi IBP experts,

Can someone please advise as to how to approach a solution for the following scenario?

So, I have noticed that there are times, when we run stat forecast models, we come across scenario from time to time where, say we had good history, so it generated forecast output. sometimes as time passes given SKU/Customer would have less history for whatever reason. What I have noticed is that, sometime the output in forecast kf the data will clear as there is not enough history and sometime the forecast kf in future does not get cleared when the history drops. Is there a way to automate this where system recognizes that there is not history and so if there is a forecast, it needs to be cleared.

Question on Supplier Profile Summary on SLP (NGSM-2959)

2025-02-11T18:23:29.721000+01:00

Hi the (NGSM-2959) feature can only be installed on client realms (not on partner realms) which makes it impossible to test it on our partner realm.

Is it possible to display several operational scores (eg one logistic score and one quality score) or can there be only one ?

Thanks in advance for your answer

Regards

Supplier Visibility Control in Shared SAP Ariba SLP Environment

2025-07-24T11:13:54.324000+02:00

Hi All,
Hope you're doing well!

I have a query regarding supplier visibility in SAP Ariba SLP, and I’d be grateful for guidance from the community experts.

Scenario:
Two large companies have formed a collaboration and are operating under a shared SAP Ariba SLP setup. We would like to understand if it’s possible to:

Restrict each company’s users to view only their respective suppliers, and
Allow visibility to a limited set of common suppliers for both companies.

Is such a configuration supported within Ariba SLP? If so, what are the recommended approaches—such as realm design, permission controls, or custom attributes?

Appreciate your inputs, suggestions, or any relevant best practices.

Best regards,
Sai

Query on Supplier Management – Total Spend Visibility in 360° Profile

2025-08-13T10:00:06.017000+02:00

Hi All,
Hope everyone is doing great.

I have a query regarding supplier management in SAP Ariba Supplier Lifecycle & Performance (SLP) integrated with S/4HANA.

Specifically, is it possible to make the total spend for a supplier visible on their 360° supplier profile?

For example: displaying the aggregated historical spend directly in the 360° view for quick reference.
If this is possible, are there standard configuration options, or would it require custom integration/reporting?

I’d greatly appreciate any inputs, suggestions, or relevant best practices from those who have implemented similar visibility.

Best regards,
Sai

GIRO Bank Account Setup in Ariba SLP for Sweden Supplier

2025-08-13T13:00:03.544000+02:00

I’m reaching out to get the insights of how GIRO bank accounts are handled within Ariba Supplier Lifecycle and Performance (SLP), specifically for suppliers based in Sweden.

From my understanding, Sweden uses GIRO systems for domestic payments in SEK. These are not traditional bank accounts or IBANs, but rather payment routing numbers linked to bank accounts.

Does Ariba SLP support capturing GIRO account details for Sweden-based suppliers?
Are there specific fields or formats recommended for entering these account types?
Are there any SAP best practices or localization settings we should follow to ensure compliance and proper validation?
How is this handled for other SAP clients onboarding Sweden-based suppliers in SLP? Any examples or references would be helpful.

Marketplace App Deployment & Lifecycle Management Using SAP DevOps Tools

2025-11-17T07:29:21.964000+01:00

This thread is dedicated to exploring how teams can efficiently deploy, manage, and optimize marketplace applications using the SAP DevOps ecosystem. Whether you're working with SAP Commerce Cloud, SAP BTP, or integrating custom marketplace features into an enterprise environment, DevOps plays a crucial role in ensuring smooth delivery and continuous improvement.

In this discussion, I’m inviting the community to share insights, experiences, and best practices related to:

Automating marketplace app deployments using SAP DevOps pipelines
End-to-end lifecycle management, from development to testing, rollout, monitoring, and iterative updates
Using SAP CI/CD services for stable and compliant releases
Versioning strategies, rollback plans, and handling multi-environment deployments
Integrating third-party tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, etc.) with SAP landscapes
Monitoring & observability using SAP tools or external solutions
Managing extensions, microservices, and custom modules within marketplace ecosystems
Security, governance, and compliance across the deployment lifecycle
Common challenges teams face and how you’ve solved them

If you’ve built or maintained a marketplace app within the SAP ecosystem—or if you're working on improving your DevOps workflow—your insights can help others in the community. Share your methods, lessons learned, tool recommendations, or even questions you're stuck on.
