SAP Ariba Buying requires users to explicitly mark new requisitions as team requisitions. Guided buying allows users to opt-in to automatic team buying for each new shopping session.

After final approval, invoices can be directly linked to your integrated payment process. Guided buying team members are assigned distinct roles (owner, contributor, viewer), while SAP Ariba Buying team members are simply contributors. After validation, the procure-to-pay solution begins exception handling and workflow approval, which includes automatic escalation and delegation to help ensure that invoices are processed quickly and effectively. Based on user-defined business rules, invoices are systematically matched against POs, contracts, and receipts with invalid invoices sent back to suppliers. The procure-to-pay solution also enables the creation and validation of invoices from buyers, suppliers, and third parties. Meanwhile, guided buying functionality, preconfigured approval workflows, budget checks, and contract management capabilities help ensure compliant spend.

Intuitive tools provide users with straightforward ways to search for goods and services. From small, growing companies to large enterprises, this procure-to-pay software helps organizations streamline catalog maintenance, simplify commerce, and efficiently manage workflows for procure to pay. It provides ease of use, compliance, and flexibility throughout the procure-to-pay process. SAP Ariba Buying and Invoicing is a software-as-a-service solution.
