Migration & Transition
What happens to our existing SAP Ariba integrations?
Short answer
Existing integrations must be inventoried and assessed. Some will move with standard next-gen connectivity, some will need rework on SAP Integration Suite or new open APIs, and some can be retired. Integration is usually one of the largest workstreams in a transition.
Build an integration inventory
- ERP connections (SAP S/4HANA, SAP ECC) for master data, POs, receipts and invoices.
- Middleware in use (Cloud Integration Gateway, SAP Integration Suite, third-party).
- Third-party tools: tax, risk, e-invoicing, punch-out catalogs.
- Custom interfaces and file-based exchanges.
Classify each one
- Reuse with standard next-gen connectivity.
- Rework on SAP Integration Suite or open APIs.
- Retire where a native feature now covers it.
Our Ariba Integration & Support team can help with this assessment.
