1Understand the SAP Ariba AdapterReview the following conceptual topics to learn about the SAP Ariba Adapter and howto use it as a connection in integrations in Oracle Integration. A typical workflow ofadapter and integration tasks is also provided.Topics: SAP Ariba Adapter Capabilities SAP Ariba Adapter Restrictions What Application Version Is Supported? SAP Ariba Adapter Use Cases Workflow to Create and Add an SAP Ariba Adapter Connection to an IntegrationSAP Ariba Adapter CapabilitiesThe SAP Ariba Adapter enables developers to build integrations with SAP Ariba. Youcan configure the SAP Ariba Adapter as an invoke connection and a trigger connectionin an integration in Oracle Integration.The SAP Ariba Adapter offers procure-to-pay solutions. It helps to create requisitions,purchase orders, and payment methods in the SAP Ariba application. The SAP AribaAdapter also supports supplier onboarding, master data synchronization (for example,supplier/contract data synchronization with other ERP systems).The SAP Ariba Adapter provides the following benefits: Supports both buyer and sourcing operations. Enables you to integrate the near real-time data between SAP Ariba and otherexternal systems. Receives events from SAP Ariba in near real time, such as receiving newlycreated or modified purchase orders from SAP Ariba in near real time. Provides support for the SOAP web services and Integration Tool Kit (ITK) feature. Enables you to create, load, update, or delete records into SAP Ariba as a singlerecord or bulk records. Enables you to import records in bulk into SAP Ariba. For example, the ImportRemittance Data operation that imports the bulk records of remittance information. Enables you to extract/export records in bulk from SAP Ariba. For example, theExport Remittance Locations Data operation that exports the list of remittancedetails. You can perform the following transactions:–Import Ariba data: Load data into Ariba in .csv file format.–Export Ariba data: Extract data from Ariba in .csv file format.See Import User Data with Ariba ITK and Export Supplier Data with Ariba ITK.1-1
