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.

SAP Ariba- the best Procurement automation tool you can have

Overall, its a great tool to solve all our 3rd party vendor communications. Though it may have a few downsides but still better in the industry.

Functionality

Pros:

a. Effective lifecycle design for all procurements needs b. The comprehensive capability of encompassing every activity involved in procurement from pre-PO to vendor selection c. Excellent integration with inhouse tools for quick payment processing d. Safe and secure authorization/single sign-in methodology

Cons:

Very slow operations and the UI/UX is difficult to understand, need to put a lot of time to learn, feels outdated. There a bit issues in adding many 3rd party contractors. The capacity needs to be increased.

Reasons for switching to SAP Ariba

Coupa did not have the capacity to integrate multi touch point for same transaction. We needed to have multiple authorization for same process.

SAP Ariba makes work difficult

I would not use this program if I was not forced to use it by my customers. IT is not intuitive and it is difficult to work with.

Pros:

I like the dashboard page of Ariba. IT's easy to add and remove widgets.

Cons:

I can never find what I need in Ariba. It also never works on the first attempt. You constantly have to reenter your info. I upload invoices all the time and it often takes 4-5 tries to get them into the system.

one of the best tools of already using any tool from SAP in your organization; it's mainly used for e-invoicing, payment approval, and processing. You dont have to raise physical invoices; just raise the invoice in ariba, it will go to the assigned person. After approval, go to the finance team, and then the payments will be released.

Nothing to dislike; the finest tool for e-invoicing
