Subscribe to Incoming Events with an SAP Ariba Adapter Connection

You can export required data from an inbound SAP Ariba system to an outbound external system with Oracle Integration. This use case provides an example of how to export purchase requisition data from SAP Ariba to an SAP ERP system. When you create a new purchase requisition in SAP Ariba, after it gets approved, the purchase requisition data is sent to the external system per the integration and endpoint configuration.

• The SAP Ariba Adapter supports the ability to subscribe to events, including the following:
  • Export Purchase Orders
  • Export Change Purchase Orders
  • Export Close Purchase Orders
  • Export Receipts
  • Export Advance Payments

Common use cases for this feature are as follows:

• Exporting purchase orders from SAP Ariba and creating sales orders in Oracle ERP Cloud.
• Exporting goods receipts to Oracle ERP Cloud.
• Exporting payments for an out-of-the-box Oracle ERP Cloud integration.

1. Create an SAP Ariba Adapter connection.
2. Create an orchestrated integration.
3. Drag the SAP Ariba Adapter into the integration canvas as a trigger connection.
4. On the Basic Info page, specify a name and optional description.
5. On the Operations page, configure the inbound event for which to receive data. For this example, the Export Purchase Orders operation is selected.
6. On the Summary page, review your selections.
7. Drag an adapter into the integration canvas as an invoke connection (for example, an Oracle ERP Cloud Adapter or SAP Adapter).
8. Perform the necessary mappings.
9. Activate the integration.
10. Copy the integration endpoint URL. You use this URL to configure the SAP Ariba Cloud application to export purchase order data.

12. Navigate to the Administration tab and click End Point Configuration. You now configure the triggering event in SAP Ariba.
13. Click Create New.

15. Configure the HTTP authentication as per the password rules. The username and password must be the login credentials of your integration platform (such as Oracle Integration) that you are using.
    Passwords are case-sensitive and must be between 12 and 16 characters in length. They can include any alphabetical characters and punctuation marks, and must include at least one number between the first and last character. They must also include at least one letter (for example, go22sapariba).
