Joule can be integrated with SAP Ariba to provide an embedded, conversational experience within procurement related workflows. When enabled, Joule operates directly in the context of SAP Ariba, supporting user interactions without requiring access to a separate application.
Joule Integration with SAP Ariba
Joule for SAP Ariba is an embedded capability that works with existing SAP Ariba processes and security controls. Joule does not replace SAP Ariba functionality; instead, it augments supported SAP Ariba workflows through conversational interactions.
Joule integration with SAP Ariba follows SAP’s broader Joule onboarding model, with SAP Ariba specific enablement layered on top.
Prerequisites
- Joule Base or Premium Entitlement
- Access to SAP BTP and Cloud Identity Services
- Administrator roles in SAP BTP, SAP Cloud Identity Services, and SAP Ariba Realms
- SAP Ariba Realms: SAP Cloud Identity Services should be configured with SAP Ariba for user logon. In case this is not done, a third-party user in your SAP Ariba Realm is required to achieve this.
