OCI Mapping in case of Ariba Catalog

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are using Ariba Catalog in SRM Shopping Cart creation SRM 7.01.

We are using BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER to modify the data received from Ariba catalog data further.

But we are not getting where the mapping from Ariba to SAP is defined.

Now we have to pass some additional fields like contract number from Ariba to SAP. These new additional fields are already maintained in Ariba. But we are not receiving the same in SAP, in BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER.

Can anybody please let us know how and where the mapping of fields from Ariba to SRM is defined.

Is there any Sproxy proxy interface, or some PI based interface or some SPRO configuration etc.

There is reference to OCI mapping or OCI interface.

Where is this OCI mapping performed and what is OCI interface ?

We tried debugging but did not find any proxy called in the process.

Thanks,

Sameer Tapre.

Hi Sameer,

There is no specific Ariba / SAP catalog mapping, all catalogs should conform to the OCI standards.

The data is either passed by HTML to the OCI interface or by XML document to the interface.

You can debug by setting a breakpoint at bbp_ws_import_sc_data function.

'Excess' data being transferred from the catalog to SRM which does not correspond to any existing OCI mapping like account assignment etc must be transferred in a customer defined field (NEW_ITEM-CUST_FIELD[1-5]) and mapped to an existing SRM field in the BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER Badi
