Scenario
This blog post is intended to serve as an end to end, step by step guide on how to replicate the Master data
from S4 HANA to SAP Ariba (Procure to Order business process) through CIG direct connection. We will
take an example of a company code in this case and will only be dealing with an outbound scenario. So there
is no explanation of Cloud Connector as it will come into play for inbound only.
SAP has strategically placed CIG into the integration landscape for ARIBA integration and this blog is
intended to show it by example how simple it is to use CIG (IaaS).

8/12/2019 End to End Master data replication from SAP S/4 HANA to SAP Ariba using IaaS (Cloud Integration Gateway) | SAP Blogs
Master Data replication from S/4 to Ariba is typically done in the below ways.
1. Batch File transfer
a. ‘.csv” les are uploaded or downloaded via Https
b. Multiple records can be transferred in a single batch
c. Processes can be scheduled
2. SAP Direct Connectivity
a. Direct transfer of master data from SAP to SAP Ariba (discussed in this blog)
3. Web services
a. XML messages over Https
b. Only one record per message
c. A Middle ware application is needed to send/receive messages
d. Mappings are needed
e. Real time le processing
f. More responsibility on the customer to installation, modi cation and maintenance
Steps Involved
The basic steps involved in the end to end master data interface are
1. Con gurations in S4 Hana (SPRO con gurations)
2. Con gurations in Ariba
3. Con gurations in CIG
4. Testing of the scenario
Prerequisites
Below mentioned prerequisites are needed to be able to establish the master data interface successfully
from S4 Hana to SAP Ariba. Please refer to the attached screenshots:
1. CIG add on to be installed on S4 to enable SPRO con gurations and proceed with interface con gurations

3. Cloud connector not needed for Outbound; only needed for Inbound

5. Download the CIG certi cate from CIG Integration Portal in Resources
6. Install the CIG certi cate in the Integration Toolkit (ITK) on ARIBA (P2O) and also in S4 Hana
o The certi cate downloaded in the above step has to be installed in the Ariba ITK in integration manager

The picture below details the basic integration architecture between S4 Hana and SAP Ariba via CIG. There
is a direct connection for master data.
Below gure gives only a reference of the master data interface ow and not an exhaustive list, there are
other ows as well based on the business process involved.

Full load is run the rst time and there on the incremental load can be executed by creating the variant and
scheduling it in the background job.
FPC enables – when we want the data to be replicated to both the parent and child site in Ariba, we have to
enable this. We have to get the site name from SAP Ariba Cloud team.
Populate the details as shown below which we con gured in the above sections.
File generated in S4 – Archive folder in AL11 – this is to be replicated into SAP Ariba

Go to the details tab; notice that the client type is mentioned a DirectConnect signifying the direct
connection that we established. At the bottom of the page the “CpmpanyCode.csv” le is visible.
Search for the task – Company Code and export the company codes to the local machine to verify.
End result – This is how the “.csv” le exported from Ariba will look like
