Ariba's release of 14s Sourcing has been communicated to customers for a release date of April 18th. Integration between Ariba SIPM and SAP MDG-s is one of the features of the release. This feature provides Open APIs for web services between the two systems; however, the project work is led and fulfilled by the customer, including which ERP supplier fields are to be mapped. In tandem with SAP MDG-s, these APIs will also provide web services integration between Ariba SIPM and SAP ERP.
Standard (direct) integration via an adapter is not available today with Ariba SIPM and SAP ERP, based on cXML limitations. This scenario is being addressed in the 15s Sourcing roadmap which will be the next mainline release for Ariba SIPM.
