Invoice Rejection Comments from S/4 HANA to SAP Ariba Business Network for supplier

[PrashantGite]

Dear Experts,

We have a commerce automation license for our customer. When a supplier submits an invoice from Ariba to S/4 HANA, a workflow is triggered and if a user rejects an invoice and give comments, our expectation is to send to  rejection comments to DSN where supplier can see the comments under History tab.

Would you please let us know if we can achieve this through a BADI or if any one has already implemented a solution for this scenario?

Your help is highly appreciated here.

To be more specific, invoices can get rejected in two ways 1) Automatic This Rejection is trigerred we have a standard error or business rules defined in buyer network are not fulfilled. In such cases SAP Ariba makes sure sending the comments to supplier under history tab 2) In case of manual rejection it can be due to missing documents in such case comments are not reflecting. Can we achieve this ?

Hi Prasanth,

To ensure rejection comments are visible in the Supplier Network:

1. Send Comments via API--> Use Ariba's API to post rejection comments. For example, use the `POST /rejections` endpoint.

2. Confirm Endpoints-->Make sure you are sending data to the correct Supplier Network endpoints.

3. Verify Success-->Check API responses for success and error-free transmissions.

4. Contact Ariba Support-->If issues persist, contact Ariba support for assistance.

Thank you Uma, do you know the name of Ariba Buyer Network Invoice API which we can call from S/4 Hana? Can we use this API (Ariba Network Invoice Header Data Extraction API)
