Export historical data - SAP Ariba

[amarkov]

Hi, I'm looking for a convenient way to export some historical data from SAP Ariba.

Preferably via API, however a manual process would also be helpful.

I'm looking to get ALL past data related to:

- Purchase Requisitions (along with all info related to the items, quantity, price, etc.)

- Sourcing Projects (along with documents, tasks, events, etc.)

- Guided Sourcing Projects (along with items, participants, award scenarios and tasks)

I searched and I could find ways to export part of the data, but no good way to get it all.

Hello you should evaluate Analytical Reporting API https://help.sap.com/docs/ariba-apis/analytical-reporting-api-for-strategic-procurement-and-operatio... (and maybe Operational Reporting API) from the Developer Portal API

Difference:

• Analytical Reporting API works with Facts and Dimensions, same used for Ariba reports, so if you can build a report in Ariba with the combination of the Facts(Tables) this is your api, it will give you all details based in Facts so you can combine/join them in an external DB
• Operational Reporting API works based in DocumentTypes (no Facts or reports from Ariba), example, Requisitions, Purchase Orders, Sourcing Events RFx, etc...

Let me know if it helps.

Thanks Neeraj, this is how to extract a single sourcing event - my goal is to extract at least a year full of data, so one by one won't do the trick. If you know of a more scalable way that would be amazing!
