Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get new purchase orders” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "supplier.ariba.com/get_new_purchase_orders",
    "input": {
      "customer": "State of North Carolina",
      "received_since": "2026-11-09"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "customer": "State of North Carolina",
    "orders": [
      {
        "order_number": "PO-0047213",
        "order_date": "2026-11-10",
        "status": "New",
        "amount": 2418.6,
        "currency": "USD"
      },
      {
        "order_number": "PO-0047188",
        "order_date": "2026-11-09",
        "status": "Confirmed",
        "amount": 735,
        "currency": "USD"
      }
    ],
    "count": 2
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

NC eProcurement’s own options

NC eProcurement sends purchase orders through the Ariba Network, where a free Standard account lets you view orders, confirm them and send ship notices in the browser. ERP integration needs a paid Enterprise account. Without any Ariba account, orders arrive by email.

Signing in to NC eProcurement

You sign in to the Ariba Network at supplier.ariba.com with your company's username and password. The first user who registers becomes the account administrator. With Fous you sign in once through the Ariba Network's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Status changes are what the buyer sees

An order confirmation sets the purchase order's status to Confirmed, a ship notice to Shipped, and a rejection to Rejected. The buyer sees the new status in NC eProcurement.

Line-level answers depend on the buyer's rules

Update Line Items, partial confirmations and line rejections work only where the customer allows them. Rejecting a whole order requires a rejection reason.

The 1.75% fee is billed after you are paid

Goods orders carry a 1.75% transaction fee, assessed after the buying entity pays you; services carry none. Invoices are emailed monthly to the Bill To contact in eVP, once they exceed $25.

Your eVP record decides where email goes

Purchase orders go to the Order From email on your eVP account and fee invoices to the Bill To contact. Keep both current in eVP at evp.nc.gov.
