Hi Team,

We are trying to automate Invoice Creation process in Ariba portal using UI automation, but we’re facing lot of selector issues, so we want to try and implement API to automate the process.

Want to know anyone implemented API automation with Ariba portal, whether Ariba has prebuilt API’s or we need to custom build the API’s with our requirements.

And also please let us know best practices to automate with Ariba (UI or API), as we want to automate more processes within Ariba.

Thanks in advance…

Regards,
E Sai Prasad

There are apis available but you need approvals from your internal team…

Also a little customization might be needed based on the ui fields your org has…this is not mandatory if custom fields are not present

And there are a set og 6 to 7 apis to be called for creating invoice

https://developer.ariba.com/

Your admin needs to grant access or roles to access these resources

But coming to ui …try to use less of class and go with name and hierarchical elements from the ui tree in ui explorer to find a reliable selector…we have been using ui as we have org wide api restrictions…and we see very less or minimal disruption using ui as well

Cheers
