RPA Implementation in Ariba portal?

Hi Team,

Is there anyone implemented automation in Ariba portal?

If yes, have you done with UI-Automation or API?

Can you please help us in guide in automating Ariba Invoice Creation Process using API, curious to know is there API available in Ariba for Invoice creation from PO or we need to build custom API’s?

Help us in opting best approach to automate in Ariba portal and Note: we’re are from supplier’s end.

Thanks in advance…

API needs to be custom based on fields you ahve for the org…apart from that there are set of 6 apis or so needs to be called to get all info needed to create invoice…I dont have the documentation access right now so could not provide exact endpoints

ui is somethign that we have done and its mostly stable till date,…we saw minor upgrades like change of pop up screens etc but not majot

cheers

Hi Anil,

thanks for the response.

we’ve implemented UI-Automation in Ariba portal for Invoice Creation, here we’re facing issues with the selectors, ex: If there are multiple tax fields for the customer - there are same selectors available.

so that we want to try implementing API rather than going with UI, not only for Invoice creation, but for more.

want to know available API’s in Ariba and is anyone implemented before.

you can check the apis here

https://developer.ariba.com/

we used for customer data update…so apis do support but full chain you can verify there

for multiple tax fields, go with name of tax if different …else check the hierarchy in ui explorer you can use hierarchy elements to make them unique…altenately if same name use idx 1 to x

cheers
