The Add-On for SAP Ariba Cloud Integration Gateway enables the sending and receiving of documents between SAP Ariba solutions and SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA (on-premise) systems. This Add-On includes multiple nodes that allow you to perform the necessary configuration activities sequentially. Typically, you will find nodes for Global Settings, General Settings, and Application-Specific Settings within this Add-On.
Global Settings are the set of configuration activities you must perform irrespective of the integration of any SAP Ariba solutions – SAP Business Network Integration, SAP Ariba Strategic Sourcing Solution Integration, or SAP Ariba Procurement Integration.
General Settings are the configuration activities you must perform to integrate a specific SAP Ariba solution, regardless of any transactions/documents you adopt.
Application-specific settings refer to the configuration tasks necessary for a transaction or document. When you download an Add-On from the SAP Service Marketplace, a file with the ".SAR" extension is saved to your system. The SAP Add-On Installation Tool, accessible through the transaction code SAINT, allows users to install and upgrade the Add-On directly from their standard SAP system. You do not need to access or restart the operating system. Numerous import conditions are checked before installation to ensure that only an Add-On that fits the available SAP system can be installed.
Follow the Instruction Wizard to complete the process. The SAP BASIS administrator or team performs this activity.
