Send Helper Files (for Ariba Approval Flow) Created in ECC to Ariba via CIG

[nikotadena]

Hello Everyone,

Hope everyone is safe.

Is it possible to interface/send Helper Files from ECC to Ariba Buying via CIG? Hope anyone can share any documentation or reference on how to implement this.

Hi narsim86,

Thank you for this insight. I'll try to coordinate these inputs from you with our ECC colleagues.

Hi nikotadena,

Yes that should be possible I guess via a custom report and calling certain ARBCIG_* function module/methods in your custom report. I will give you pointers. Please validate from your end and try implementing it.

1. Please debug ARBCIG_MASTER_DATA_EXPORT for a simple extract like "Plant" which syncs the master data from ERP to Ariba Buying.

2. When debugging please focus on the following:

ARBCIG_DATA_CONVERT_WRITE_FILE - F.M. which downloads CSV's from an internal table on to SAP application server.

ARBCIG_DIRECT_CONNECT - Which attaches the zipped folder to a SOAP message as an attachment and then sends it to CIG and then CIG sends to Ariba Buying.

Thanks,

Narasimha
