# Configure the Ariba Receiver Adapter
The Ariva receiver adapter connects SAP Integration Suite to the Ariba network. Using this adapter, SAP and non-SAP cloud applications can send business-specific documents in commerce eXtensible Markup Language \(cXML\) format to the Ariba network.
> ### Note:
> In the following cases certain features might not be available for your current integration flow:
>
> - You are using a runtime profile other than the one expected. See: [Runtime Profiles](IntegrationSettings/runtime-profiles-8007daa.md).
>
> - A feature for a particular adapter or step was released after you created the corresponding shape in your integration flow.
>
> To use the latest version of a flow step or adapter – edit your integration flow, delete the flow step or adapter, add the step or adapter, and configure the same. Finally, redeploy the integration flow. See: [Updating your Existing Integration Flow](updating-your-existing-integration-flow-1f9e879.md).
> ### Note:
> This adapter exchanges data with a remote component that might be outside the scope of SAP. Make sure that the data exchange complies with your company’s policies.
