Whenever the contract request is sent to Ariba Network from Ariba Sourcing and then reaches CIG, the payload (The original payload that is being sent to CIG) contains a custom value field in a form of an extrinsic: ZMK1.A custom field called cus_SAPDocumentCategory was created on the Ariba Sourcing side to allow users to select the contract types.

There is no standard way to have extra contract types.

Due to some Ariba Network limitations, you can map only one document type based on the value or quantity (WK if value or MK if quantity). There is a business requirement to allow users to choose the custom document types from the SAP Ariba Sourcing side where the SAP ERP contracts should be created using the selected custom document type. In SAP ERP, we use multiple document types for contracts other than the standard ones (.eg. Practical example for SAP Ariba CIG mapping change requestīusiness Problem: We are using Cloud Integration Gateway to integrate our SAP ERP to SAP Ariba Sourcing solution in order to create contracts in SAP ERP. We always recommend that you send the final information to CIG which should be mapped to the final payload to be delivered to the external system (e.g.

CIG does not support complex transformations, calculations, and rules.

Please complete it as per your mapping change needs and attach it to the Case along with the payloads.

The mapping sheet template is attached to this solution.

You can create CIG custom mappings at your end using the CIG Mapping tool, however for known limitations which cannot be accomplished by the CIG mapping tool, a formal mapping change request can be requested by submitting a Case along with the following details:
