What problem does it solve? Operating SAP Ariba involves actions that commit money and reach external suppliers—publishing RFx events, awarding bids, transmitting POs over SAP Business Network, and approving invoice reconciliations—and a wrong move is often irreversible. This Skill gives an AI agent the operator judgment to classify every Ariba action as read, reversible write, committing write, or destructive, so consequential steps pause for human approval. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Action Classification & Gating: Maps Ariba operation families (sourcing events, requisitions, POs, invoice reconciliations, supplier qualification) to read/write/destructive risk classes with explicit gating rules. - Edge-State & Recovery Playbooks: Covers partial receipts, split awards, out-of-tolerance exceptions, failed ERP exports, and what can and cannot be undone after each committing action. - Circumvention Detection: Blocks audit-flagged workarounds like splitting requisitions under approval thresholds, self-qualifying suppliers, or raising tolerances to auto-pass invoice variances. - Use Case: When asked to approve an invoice with a price variance, the agent recognizes an out-of-tolerance exception as a destructive override, stops, and routes it to the named approver instead of clearing it. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to review a pending SAP Ariba invoice reconciliation and tell you whether approving it is safe and what exceptions need a human approver.
