Seeking SAP Ariba Freelance Expertise for OCI Catalog and External Search Integration
Are you an experienced SAP Ariba professional with hands-on expertise in Guided Buying configurations, particularly in External Search via OCI Catalogs and PunchOut integration? If so, we’d love to hear from you.
About the Project
Our team is currently conducting a lightweight proof-of-concept focused on streamlining supplier searches within SAP Ariba Guided Buying. The core flow involves:
- A user initiates a search within Ariba using a search string.
- Ariba transmits an OCI request to an external B2B platform.
- The external platform responds with Search Results, including descriptions, pricing, vendors, and SKUs.
- When a user selects an item, a PunchOut session is triggered to the supplier’s catalog.
This process aims to enhance user experience by integrating external catalog data seamlessly into Ariba’s search workflow.
Key Requirements
- Experience configuring and implementing External Search via OCI Catalogs in SAP Ariba.
- Familiarity with PunchOut setup and integration.
- Ability to work with sandbox or test environments (note: we do not have a production Ariba environment for this project).
- Skilled in setup, mapping, testing, and thorough documentation of processes.
Project Details
- This role involves primarily setup, configuration, testing, and documentation — minimal development work.
- We will provide access to a sandbox or test client environment for configuration and validation.
- Compensation is available for initial scoping sessions or consultation.
