Has anyone successfully integrated with Ariba?

[Jason Stephens]

Has anyone been able (or even attempted) to integrate with Ariba? We use this as our procurement system/software, and I was wondering if there was any way to send a Service-Now generated message to Ariba to kick off an order. This may be a long shot but I figured I would ask.

At my last company we did. We basically had Ariba place an CSV file on the SN FTPS site and had a scheduled import. I think we may have used a scheduling job to move it to the FTPS site.

We were wanting to maybe have an item like "Order abcd" and have it place an ariba order. Did you do anything like that?

Hi Guys i am a rooki in the community but for this we had another way around in our company implemented. We fire from Servicenow a Catalog Request (lot of validations and details are in) trough a lot of interfaces and finally we call SAP PI/PO to transfer the data directly to the ERP System.

So we had alligned with sourcing that approvals and so on where covered in servicenow.

The standard config by us transfers automatically all Purchase Orders to Ariba Network, cause we need all PO`s there for pay the invoices.

Hopefully this helps. 

Currently I am searching as well for further automation to the ARIBA interfaces and so on, cause now we want to automate more other standard processes that we do not have double work there.

Can I get a solution for this as we want to work the same way around.

Hi Roland,

How did you send the data from ServiceNow to Ariba to call the PO?
Was it through REST/SOAP?
