Symptom
- In the 4BL integration scenario (S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition to Ariba Sourcing), the header field "Target Value" is not included in the RequestForQuotationS4Request SOAP/XML sent from S/4HANA Cloud.
- In traditional S/4 and Ariba integrations (via CIG add-on), this value was sent and mapped to the Baseline Spend extrinsic in Ariba Sourcing.
- The value is visible in the S/4HANA Cloud “Manage Requests for Quotation” app but absent in the source payload received by Managed Gateway/CIG and thus not present in the downstream QuoteRequest cXML.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Create an RFQ in S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition (Manage Requests for Quotation app) with "Target Value" populated.
- Initiate the 4BL integration to send RequestForQuotationS4Request SOAP/XML to the Managed Gateway endpoint (/cxf/receiveS4SOAP).
- Observe Managed Gateway transforms the message to QuoteRequest cXML and sends it to the S4HanaRequestForQuotation service in Ariba Sourcing.
- Check CIG Transaction Tracker and verify "Target Value" is missing in source/preprocess/outbound payloads; in Ariba Sourcing, the Sourcing Request lacks Baseline Spend.
Cause
- The "Target Value" is not supported by the RequestForQuotationS4Request_Out SOAP API (per WSDL), therefore it is not included in the standard 4BL outbound payload.
- Examples of fields not supported by this API include: PaymentTerms, CashDiscount1Days, CashDiscount2Days, CashDiscount1Percent, CashDiscount2Percent, TargetValue.
Resolution
- Review the RequestForQuotationS4Request_Out SOAP API documentation to confirm the field is not part of the standard payload.
- Create a custom field in S/4HANA Cloud to hold the "Target Value" and enable exposure of this custom field for the RequestForQuotationS4Request_Out SOAP API.
- In Managed Gateway/CIG, map the custom field to the Baseline Spend extrinsic in the QuoteRequest cXML for Ariba Sourcing.
- Test end-to-end by sending a new RFQ and verify in CIG Transaction Tracker that the custom field is present and that the Sourcing Request in Ariba reflects Baseline Spend.
