# SAP Ariba Procurement

You can use the SAP Ariba Procurement connector from the CData Sync application to capture data
from SAP Ariba Procurement and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add
the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

## Add the SAP Ariba Procurement Connector

To enable Sync to use data from SAP Ariba Procurement, you first must add the
connector, as follows:

<ol>
  <li>Open the **Connections** page of the Sync dashboard.</li>
  <li>Click **Add Connection** to open the **Select Connectors** page.</li>
  <li>Click the **Sources** tab and locate
  the **SAP Ariba Procurement** row.</li>

  <li>
    Click the **Configure Connection** icon at the end of that row to open
    the **New Connection** page. This action opens the
    **Add Connection** dialog.

    **Note:** If the **Configure Connection** icon is not
    available, click the **Download Connector** icon to install
    the SAP Ariba Procurement connector.
  </li>

  <li>Enter a name for your connection in the **Add Connection** dialog.</li>
