cXML-based supplier-side integration between SAP B1 and SAP Ariba Network for buyer-mandated Ariba transactions.
What this connector does
SAP Ariba Network is the dominant B2B procurement network at enterprises running SAP S/4HANA + Coupa alternatives. Suppliers on SAP Business One are frequently required to transact via Ariba by their enterprise buyers. The ERPPlugs SAP B1 ↔ Ariba connector uses cXML + Ariba Network APIs to route enterprise POs into B1 as Sales Orders, generate PO acknowledgments + ASNs back to Ariba, and route B1 AR invoices via cXML invoice to the Ariba buyer. Supplier-side depth so B1 customers can meet Ariba compliance without custom middleware.

Frequently Asked Questions
cXML is Ariba's standard message format for enterprise procurement. Using cXML directly ensures compliance with Ariba Network's buyer requirements — enterprises typically require cXML certification before enabling a supplier for standard trading.
Yes — the connector serves a PunchOut catalogue from B1 Item masters so enterprise buyers on Ariba can browse + build carts + submit requisitions that flow back as PO OrderRequests.
Ariba Discovery lets suppliers respond to enterprise RFQs. The connector surfaces Discovery invitations in a B1 UI and formats bid responses per Ariba requirements.
One B1 instance can serve multiple Ariba-connected buyers with per-buyer BP + GL routing. Common setup: enterprise buyer A + enterprise buyer B + Ariba Discovery participants, all through one B1.
For cXML transactions yes — Ariba Network Full Access (paid tier) is required to receive POs + submit invoices via cXML. The connector works with both tiers but functionality is gated by your Ariba tier.
