This article explain how to add custom fields in Ariba SLP integration using CIG. We have came across the requirement to add few localizations fields in Ariba network as part of Ariba implementation. Those will be available in integration payload with name ‘GenericCustomFieldname’. But those are not available in standard interface ‘BusinessPartnerSUITEBulkReplicateRequest_In’ in our MDG S4 system. This will help you out how to enable ‘GenericCustomFieldname’ in Ariba SLP standard interface.
SAP Ariba Cloud Integration Gateway, add-on to be installed on SAP ERP and it enables SAP to communicate with Ariba Network and SAP Ariba solutions through SAP Ariba Cloud Integration Gateway. SAP cloud integration using SAP Ariba Cloud integration Gateway is more popular and efficient for both master data and transaction data integration
SAP Ariba Supplier Management solutions integration with SAP ERP, SAP S/4HANA, or SAP MDG supports extension of the business partner data structure to enable you to use custom fields to address your specific requirements.
Perform the following steps to maintain the data types enhancements to customize the fields for SAP Ariba Supplier Lifecycle and Performance.
Note: the entry can be maintained in development client. No need to transport across the landscape.
Go to SPROXY transaction code and open the following service interfaces for the namespace http://sap.com/xi/SAP_BS_FND/MDG/Global2 :
Go to tab, External view:
Choose the following segments to be enhanced. Double-click each of the following ABAP Name to enhance the segment:
Click on ABAP Name (DDIC structure of the proxy structure) on the right side:
Click the Proxy Editor. The Proxy screen appears.
Click Create Enhancement.
The wizard, Enterprise Services: Create Data Type Enhancement appears. Enter a name and description for the enhancement. For example, zenh_ariba_supplier_ext. Change the namespace from http://sap.com/xi/SAP_BS_FND/MDG/Global2 to http://ariba.com/xi/SupplierManagement.
Click Cont. The Transport page appears. Enter a package name for your customization in the Package field. Enter a prefix value starting with Z* or Y* in the Prefix field.
Click Cont. Click Complete to finish the wizard.
Choose External view in Data Type Enhancement screen. Right-click on the name you newly created for the enhancement. Click Add Element to add an element with the name GenericCustomField. Edit the value in Max. Occurs for the GenericCustomField from 1 to Unbounded.
Right-click on the value, GenericCustomField and choose Select Existing global type available under Set Global Type Reference. The Restrict Value Range window appears.
Choose the ABAP Type, TABL and the ABAP Name ARBCIG_GENERIC_CUSTOM_FIELD. Click OK.

Choose the field, ARBCIG_GENERIC_CUSTOM_FIELD from the list. Again Right-click on the name you newly created for the enhancement.
Click Add Attribute to add an element with thename genericCustomFieldListCompleteTransmissionIndicator.
Right-click on the value, genericCustomFieldListCompleteTransmissionIndicator and choose Select Existing global type available under Set Global Type Reference. The Restrict Value Range window appears.
Choose the ABAP Type, DTEL and the ABAP Name, ARBCIG_OPTIONAL_INDICAT.
Click OK. The field, ARBCIG_OPTIONAL_INDICAT appears in the list. Save the changes. Activate the data type enhancement.
