Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ariba scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

SAP Ariba

This skill enforces correct Ariba implementation practices, ensuring that CIG integration is tested end-to-end before go-live, approval workflows are never bypassed, and supplier qualification is completed before sourcing events — because an unqualified supplier pool produces unqualified sourcing results.

Iron Laws

  1. ALWAYS TEST CIG INTEGRATION END-TO-END BEFORE GO-LIVE. The Cloud Integration Gateway (CIG) connects S/4HANA procurement to Ariba. Master data sync (suppliers, materials, purchase orgs), purchase order transmission, and invoice posting must be tested with real transaction volumes. CIG failures at go-live mean purchase orders do not reach suppliers.
  2. NEVER BYPASS APPROVAL WORKFLOWS. Ariba approval workflows enforce procurement policy. Every bypass — whether through admin override, threshold manipulation, or process workaround — creates an audit finding. Procurement without approval is unauthorized spending.
  3. ALWAYS CONFIGURE SUPPLIER QUALIFICATION BEFORE SOURCING EVENTS. A sourcing event (RFP/RFQ/auction) with unqualified suppliers wastes effort. Suppliers must be qualified (certificates, financial standing, compliance) before being invited to bid. Qualification is a gate, not a formality.
  4. NEVER GO LIVE WITHOUT CONTENT COMPLIANCE RULES. Content compliance (catalog vs. non-catalog, preferred vs. non-preferred) drives maverick spending reduction. Without compliance rules, users route all purchases through free-text non-catalog — defeating the purpose of Ariba.
  5. ALWAYS VALIDATE TAX AND PAYMENT TERMS IN INVOICE MANAGEMENT. Invoice matching failures caused by incorrect tax configuration or mismatched payment terms create supplier payment delays and AP operational overhead. Validate tax codes and payment terms mapping between Ariba and S/4HANA before go-live.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
