Attachments on Remittance or Payment status information

[Velu_V]

Hi Experts,

We have a requirement to send Check Copies on Remittance status information from Non-SAP ERP System to Ariba Invoice Management system. Is anyone aware that we can send attachments over the Remittance status/Payment status file from Non-SAP ERP to Ariba Network/Ariba Invoice Management solution?

If so, could you please share your experience or any guidance around this?

Please note that, since this is with Non-SAP system, we don't have CIG and we have SAP BTP in scope.

Thanks,
Velu

Hello @Velu_V As far as i know, there is one feature which needs to be enabled on Ariba Network to consume attachments for Payment Remittance. If you are not using CIG or BTP then i guess you need to build the integration using middleware to post Payment Remittance cXML with attachment to AN Buyer ID/URL. 
I think this would require some POC to validate the design & solution

"cXML remittance advice documents can be sent with header-level attachments. Please contact your SAP Ariba Customer Support Specialist to enable remittance attachment"

Hi Mridul,

Thanks a lot for your response! Would you be able to comment on, if we want to send the Remittance status from ERP to Ariba Network and Ariba Invoice Management solution through SAP BTP (NO CIG in scope). How will the data flow be like? ERP-->SAP BTP-->SAP Business Network and ERP-->SAP BTP-->Ariba Invoice Management? Will both the above the flows work? Can we send the Remittance status from SAP BTP to both Network and Ariba Invoice Managment solution?

Please clarify!

Thanks,
Velu

Standard process for sending remittance information is SAP ERP-->SAP BTP (or CIG)-->SAP Business Network-->Ariba Buying & Invoicing Management
