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.
