Welcome to this complete, hands-on course on SAP S/4HANA Integration with Ariba Volume 1. This course is designed for Ariba Consultants who want to learn end-to-end S/4HANA integration with Ariba in the simplest and most practical way. The main goal of this course is to help you understand not only how the integration works, but also why each configuration and prerequisite is required. In Volume 1, we will first build a strong foundation by understanding the SAP Ariba ecosystem and its major solutions. We will then explore the technical architecture and integration flows of different Ariba solutions, including Ariba SLP, Ariba Sourcing, Ariba Buying and Invoicing, and Supply Chain Collaboration.
After understanding the architecture, we will move to the important integration requirements and prerequisites needed before starting the actual S/4HANA–CIG integration. This includes topics such as Ariba add-ons, bgRFC, IP whitelisting, SAP Cloud Connector, Ariba Directory, Business Function Activation, and SSL configuration. You will also understand important technical concepts such as IDoc, Web Services, XML, cXML, HTTPS, Managed Gateway, SAP Business Network, and Transport Requests. The course is explained in a simple, step-by-step, and implementation-focused manner, so even if you are new to Ariba integration, you can follow along easily.
