SAP Ariba - Spend Management Tool

Having used SAP Ariba for several years now, I can say that I am much more comfortable with it now than I was when my company first made the switch. Like anything else, with a little bit of practice, it becomes second nature.

Pros:

My company uses SAP Ariba as the primary purchasing system for goods and services. I personally use the system for both processing spot buys as well as guided buying. I like guided buying the most about SAP Ariba because it allows me to purchase goods all at a predetermined rate using my company's corporate discount.

Cons:

At first, the SAP Ariba system was somewhat difficult to navigate. It is such a large system that occasionally I would find myself lost and unsure how to proceed. With more use came more familiarity with the system however.

Pros:

It works better with the Edge browser. Everything is organized, from order to delivery and invoice. It is accessible from anywhere in the world if you have internet.

Cons:

The response is sometimes a little slow. This could be due to overload on the system I guess. This is my only issue so far.

Streamlined Source-to-Pay Process with SAP Ariba

My overall experience has been excellent. Through Best Online Career's SAP Ariba online training, I gained hands-on skills in requisitioning, purchase orders, invoice handling, and supplier collaboration. The training bridged the gap between theory and real-time business use cases, which made me confident in applying Ariba in live projects. The course was structured, interactive, and supported with 24/7 server access.

Pros:

SAP Ariba simplifies procurement processes with seamless integration into SAP ERP. The guided buying experience, supplier collaboration, and contract management features help save time and reduce manual paperwork. During training, real-time project scenarios and practical exercises made the concepts easier to understand.

Cons:

The user interface can feel overwhelming for beginners, and the initial setup has a learning curve. Some navigation paths could be more intuitive, but once familiar, the system is very powerful.

It was super easy to enter travel expenses and get reimbursed very quickly.

As it is with any SAP product, it really depends on how well Ariba gets deployed at your organization due to the extensive customization and automation options. But after we deployed it effectively, Ariba became effortless to use.
