Document Approval API via CIG?

[nikotadena]

Hi All,

We are planning to use Ariba Document Approval API for a planned Fiori My Inbox <> Ariba integration to handle approvals. My current understanding is that CIG does not handle/execute API calls (since the CIG documents - Installation, Overview and Config does not state this API). Is that correct?

Or we still need a middleware to execute the API?

Also, if do we have any documentation that states CIG cannot process APIs?

Apologies on the bulk of questions.

HI Niko, CIG doesnt handle API flow messages, you can use a middleware or not depending on development skills of the tool you require, for example ABAP can consume APIs (no need of middleware) as well as SCP Web Ide without CPI, if the tool you have can develop REST calls then you can implement any Ariba API.
