We have implemented SAP Ariba into our main locations to effectively manage sourcing, contracting, and procure-to-pay processes. By using Ariba, our suppliers benefit from increased efficiency and transparency throughout the entire procurement cycle. As part of our ongoing efforts, we’re continuing to extend the implementation of SAP Ariba to more countries, ensuring a broader reach and enhanced procurement operations globally.

You can choose between two account types as a SAP Business Network supplier. The Standard account is free, while the Enterprise account will incur fees, depending on your subscription levels.

When registering with SAP Ariba, kindly note that you're creating an agreement directly with SAP Ariba, to which �鶹�� is not a party. Please select the right one based on your business model.

Standard account

This offers basic functionalities and is completely free for suppliers. You can transact digitally using email tools and gain visibility into when you can expect payment from your customers. You’ll receive POs via the e-mail address associated with your standard account, and you can transact an unlimited number of documents with your customers without any fees.

Enterprise account

The enterprise account gives you additional access to a wide range of technological capabilities with advanced features. You can transform your operations with full ERP integration and generate real-time invoices. Subscriptions are determined by the number of documents you transact on Ariba Network within a 12-month period and the extent of the automation technologies and support that your business requires.

SAP Ariba offers a comprehensive set of catalog features to optimize procurement processes. Suppliers can manage their own catalogs with detailed product information while buyers benefit from easy catalog search, static or PunchOut integration and streamlined content management. Pricing, contract management, and approval workflows ensure compliance and accuracy.

CIF catalogs (Catalog Interchange Format)

CIF catalogs are static catalogs created by you and hosted by us. This is a general-purpose catalog (e.g. Excel) used by thousands of procurement systems from many vendors around the world, and could be a better choice if you sell smaller numbers of products that don’t require frequent pricing, availability, or other changes. CIF catalog files list items, their descriptions, and prices. Each CIF file has three sections:

Header: specifies general attributes that apply to all the data in the file

Body: describes the items in the catalog

Trailer: last line in the file and marks the end of the catalog

SAP Business Network is the world’s largest business network, where more than 4.6 million companies transact USD 3.2 trillion in business annually. Joining the SAP Business Network can help you reach more customers, as well as remove complexity and support us to collaborate more efficiently on a single, integrated platform.

We're using the SAP Fieldglass platform for service procurement and external workforce management. From purchase request to worker onboarding. Service receipt to external workforce management, automated payment and financial accounting. SAP Fieldglass provides end-to-end control and visibility for us and our suppliers on a single cloud-based platform. It also offers transparency on supplier performance and benchmarking, such as achieving milestones, service schedules or worker performance.

Once selected, suppliers will be onboarded to the SAP Fieldglass platform and provided with additional training sessions.
