Introduction

Parakeet Risk connects your Source‑to‑Pay (S2P) stack to a unified risk and compliance backbone. These patterns show how to sync core objects (Supplier, Questionnaire, Risk Score, PO/Block, Certificate), trigger controls from risk events (for example: “risk score ≥ threshold → PO hold”), and choose the right auth and deployment model (API, iPaaS, flat‑file). For architectural context, see Integration Architecture, the SRM/S2P hub, and the Third‑Party Risk hub.

At‑a‑glance patterns

Vendor‑master and assessment synchronization patterns

Operationalize a single source of truth for suppliers while keeping assessments, certificates, and controls in lock‑step across suites. Use these patterns to define your system of record, map fields, and wire up event‑driven controls.

SAP Ariba — vendor‑master + assessment sync#

• Directionality: One‑way (Ariba → Parakeet) or bi‑directional. Choose one SOR to avoid drift.

• Core field map

• IDs: Parakeet. Supplier.external_id ↔ Ariba supplier identifier

• Status: Parakeet. Supplier.status ↔ supplier status (active/inactive)

• Risk tier: Parakeet. RiskScore.tier ↔ supplier custom attribute

• Certificates: Parakeet. Certificate.[type, number, expiry_date]

• SLA dates: Parakeet. Supplier.sla_next_review_date ↔ supplier custom attribute

• Assessment sync

• Questionnaires: Parakeet. Questionnaire ↔ Ariba questionnaire/response objects (read/write per your license/scope)

• Evidence: Store links to Parakeet evidence trail in supplier notes/attachments

• Event triggers (examples)

• Risk threshold crossed → set sourcing/PO gating policy and notify category owners

• Expired certificate → block new orders until remediation task is closed

Coupa — vendor‑master + assessment sync#

• Directionality: One‑way (Parakeet → Coupa) for control enforcement, or bi‑directional if Coupa owns supplier onboarding

• Core field map

• IDs: Parakeet. Supplier.external_id ↔ Coupa suppliers.number

• Status: Parakeet. Supplier.status ↔ suppliers.status (active/inactive)

• Risk tier: Parakeet. RiskScore.tier ↔ suppliers.[custom field]

• Certificates: Parakeet. Certificate.[type, number, expiry_date] ↔ suppliers.[custom fields]/attachments

• SLA dates: Parakeet. Supplier.sla_next_review_date ↔ suppliers.[custom date field]

• Assessment sync

• Questionnaire summary: score, due_date, status → supplier custom fields

• Evidence: Parakeet links stored as supplier notes/attachments for audit

• Event triggers (examples)

• Risk score ≥ threshold → set suppliers.status = inactive to prevent new activity

• Certificate expiry → set control flag (e.g., parakeet_certificate_block=true) and route approval

JAGGAER — vendor‑master + assessment sync#

• Directionality: Align with your SOR (JAGGAER or Parakeet); support API or file‑based batch where applicable

• Core field map

• IDs: Parakeet. Supplier.external_id ↔ JAGGAER supplier identifier/number

• Status: Parakeet. Supplier.status ↔ supplier lifecycle/status

• Risk tier: Parakeet. RiskScore.tier ↔ supplier attribute/UD field

• Certificates: Parakeet. Certificate.[type, number, expiry_date] ↔ certificate metadata or attachments

• SLA dates: Parakeet. Supplier.sla_next_review_date ↔ supplier review/renewal date fields

• Assessment sync

• Assessment outcomes: score, level, due_date, next_review → supplier attributes

• Evidence: back‑reference Parakeet audit trail via URL/attachment

• Event triggers (examples)

• Risk threshold crossed → request re‑qualification; optionally block new POs until completed

• Expired/invalid certificate → place supplier on hold and notify owner

Sandbox validation checklist (all suites)#

• Provision non‑prod tenants and least‑privilege OAuth scopes/keys

• Seed 5–10 test suppliers covering edge cases (new, active, on hold, multiple sites)

• Round‑trip sync: create/update in SOR, verify in target, and reconcile back to Parakeet

• Assessment flow: simulate questionnaire assignment → score → control trigger

• Certificate flow: simulate imminent and past‑due expirations

• PO gating: verify hold/block behavior and reversal after remediation

• Idempotency: replay the same event; confirm no duplicate records or flips

• Backfill: run a bulk sync and confirm no overwrites of newer data

• Audit: confirm evidence links, timestamps, and actor are captured end‑to‑end

Rollback and recovery playbook#

• Feature flags: disable control enforcement while preserving data sync

• Status reversion: restore prior supplier status/holds from last good snapshot

• Token cut‑off: revoke non‑prod/prod OAuth clients if unexpected behavior occurs

• Batch rollback: quarantine SFTP/CSV drops; replay from last successful watermark

• Delta resync: re‑publish only affected suppliers/assessments with compare reports

Pattern: SAP Ariba

Objects and flows#

• Supplier and profile data: read via Supplier Data with Pagination API; supports vendor‑level details, questionnaire data, and certificates. citeturn2search0

• Certificates: read per supplier to reconcile expirations or non‑conformances. citeturn2search0

• Approvals context: approval endpoints are available for approvables (used for sourcing/SM workflows). citeturn2search0

Event triggers (examples)#

• Certificate expiry → raise Rosella alert and optionally propagate blocks downstream (e.g., put suppliers on hold in ERP/S2P). Certificate data available at /vendors/{vendorId}/certificates. citeturn2search0

• Questionnaire change → refresh supplier risk score in Parakeet and attach evidence trail.

Auth and deployment models#

• OAuth 2.0 with client credentials; requires application key and OAuth client on Ariba Developer Portal. Data centers expose OpenAPI and OAuth URLs (for example, US/EU). citeturn1search2

• Token retrieval uses Ariba OAuth endpoints with Basic auth of client credentials. citeturn1search3

• Alternative connectivity patterns for Supplier Management include SAP Integration Suite/CIG, Integration Toolkit, and SOAP, depending on scope. citeturn2search1

Sample field mappings#

• Supplier: Parakeet. Supplier.external_id ↔ Ariba vendors.{vendorId}; Parakeet. Supplier.legal_name ↔ supplier profile name.

Deployment notes

• API first: Use OAuth 2.0 across suites (Ariba, Coupa OIDC, Oracle Fusion IAM, Microsoft Entra ID, NetSuite REST). citeturn1search2turn0search0turn4search1turn3search1turn0search3

• iPaaS: When latency tolerance allows, orchestrate with your preferred iPaaS to fan‑out Parakeet events to multiple suites.

• Flat‑file: For high‑volume supplier updates to Coupa, publish CSV to SFTP Incoming/Suppliers; Coupa processes every 3–6 minutes. citeturn10search3
