SAP Ariba Integration with External systems like Maximo

[jyothi_gadde]

Hi All,

we have a requirement for integrating SAP Ariba with Maximo for sending PO, GR/IR postings and looking for Ariba Open API's (if there are any to serve the purpose).

Tried checking in the Ariba API portal https://developer.ariba.com/api/) but couldn't find anything related to what we are looking for. Can anyone share the details on the available open API's to integrate Ariba with external systems. Also, any documentation related to this topic is of great help.

Thank you.

Hi Jyothi,

Were you able to achieve the solution?

I have similar requirement. Just that in my case client doesn't want real time integration. Outbound transaction Data (RFQ, PO, Goods Receipt etc.) coming from Maximo (XML format) will be dropped at SFTP server. PI should pull the data from SFTP, do necessary field mapping, convert it to cXML and deliver to Ariba (on demand). Similarly for downstream, cXML transaction data (RFQ Response, PO confirmation etc.) from Ariba should be pulled by PI, converted to XML, necessary field mapping should be done and XML files should be dropped at SFTP server. PI instance has Ariba Network Adapter. But I am not sure if the network adapter allows these kind of interfacing (cXML to SFTP or vice versa), because there is no standard mapping available in the add on package for these kind of integration.

Would really appreciate your insight on this !

Thanks
