Importing Bills of Materials via CSV Files in SAP Ariba Sourcing

This video shows the process of importing a bill of materials or BOM via CSV files into the SAP Ariba Strategic Sourcing Suite. This feature allows you to integrate bill of material data from external systems, such as ERP and PLM systems, that are not integrated with SAP Ariba. Before you start, enable the following parameters. BOM v2 enabled, deployment mode BOM supported, and BOM upload max items in CSV. You will have to work with SAP Ariba Customer Support to configure these. Also, you must be a member of either the Customer Administrator, Material Administrator, or BOM Manager groups. You will start by accessing the Import BOM page through the Product Sourcing Manager menu. Here choose Import BOM to proceed. It is recommended you download the sample CSV file. This file will be our template for importing BOM data. Open the downloaded CSV file and review the field mappings. The template already includes mandatory fields for successful BOM validation. You can add optional fields from the list of standard or custom fields provided in the UI. If you need to add additional fields not part of the standard mapping, use the Custom Field Mapping option. To create a custom CSV file, choose the Create Sample CSV button. On the Create Sample CSV page, select the optional BOM fields you want to include in the CSV file. If a required field is not available, you can add new custom fields. After selecting all the fields, choose Create to Generate and Download your custom CSV file. Enter your desired bill of material structure keeping in mind the recommended data structure. Back on the Import BOM page, select the external system ID of the ERP from which you want to import the BOM. Select the CSV file containing your BOM data by either dragging and dropping the file or browsing and selecting it. Select Import to upload the file and import the BOM data. After the file upload is complete, you can view the status of the BOM import job in the table at the bottom of the page. Filter the list based on date range, BOM import status, or both. After successful validation, the BOM data will be staged to SAP Ariba Strategic Sourcing Suite. Thank you for watching!
