This document covers access needs that are required for Moveworks to establish a stable connection to your Ariba Instance. To begin, you will need create an application within the developer portal (developer.ariba.com) to provide the following to Moveworks.

Requirements

OAuth Client Credentials:

• Application Key
• OAuth Client ID
• OAuth Client Secret
• Realm used by Application

APIs needed

For Ariba Approvals and Lookups for procurement records, you will need to create an application that provides Moveworks with the ability to execute REST API requests to the following APIs:

Set up applications and enable API access

1. Go to developer.ariba.com to access the SAP Ariba developer portal.
   1. Note: Only Designated Support Contacts (DSC) have access / can request access to the developer portal.
   2. https://me.sap.com/notes/0003121688
2. Once in the developer portal, begin by creating a new application:
   1. Click on Manage from the left navigation menu.
   2. Click on Create a new application.
      
      1. Give the application a name and description and click on Submit.
3. Once the application has been created, you will have the Application key. This will need to be provided to Moveworks after completing all the steps below.
   
4. Then, request API access from your admin.
   1. Select the Actions dropdown and click on Ask your admin to request API access.
      
5. Select the specific API endpoint, tenant, and realm associated with this access:
   
   1. Select the API name in the API Names dropdown. This is the API that you want to access using this application.
   2. Enter the realm name in the Realm Name field. This is the site that you want the application to be enabled for.
   3. Enter the AN-ID in the AN-ID field.
   4. Select the radio button corresponding to the realm type: Production or Test.
   5. Click Submit.
      
6. Once you have submitted a request asking your admin for API access, your admin then has to request API access from Ariba support for the application.
7. Please allow 12 hours for the API to be enabled. Once enabled, the application Client ID will be listed under Account Settings > API Management Section within your Ariba account.
8. Ariba will now approve your access.
9. Return to the Actions dropdown and click on Generate Oauth Secret to generate an OAuth secret. This is will only be visible to an admin.
   
10. The following steps then need to be taken by a user with Organization Admin privileges:
    1. Click Manage in the left navigation menu.
    2. Click Applications.
    3. Search for the application.
    4. Click the Approve button.
11. You will now have the OAuth client ID which will be used in conjunction with your OAuth secret.
12. Once all these steps are complete, provide all of the API credentials and the name of the realm corresponding to the application to your Moveworks Customer Success team via encrypted email.
