Hi all,
As I'm quite new to Ariba, I'm searching for a lot of answers 
. This forum is very usefull fortunately. However I have a specific question from a client for which I can not find a specific answer.
My client currently has no connection to ASN, nor do they have an ANID at the moment.
What they would like to set up in SAP ECC is the self billing process. They would like to use the cxml files as described in the Administrator's Guide for Buyer Integration of SAP ERP (https://websmp101.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000993782013E). However, without connecting to ASN.
So the process they imagine is; create the invoice in ECC (CC invoice; using the cxml format provided by the integration). Send it to PI. And PI delivers it directly to the recipient; instead of posting it to the ASN.
Is this process possible? As I see in the document that there are several customizing steps regarding the ANID and connection to ASN.
Would it for instance be possible to register to ASN in order to have the ANID and then continue with their suggested proces as work around? But for what I understand is that in this optis their ANID is not enabled for anything.
Is the process they have in mind possible at all?
Is the suggested work around possible or not?
Many thanks for all your suggestions.
Timo
