Integration with an existing SAP ECC or SAP S/4HANA system is realised via standardised interfaces, such as the Cloud Integration Gateway (CIG), or through native integration to enable the automated synchronisation of master and transaction data. In addition, purchase orders, order confirmations and invoices can be exchanged on a paperless basis via the Ariba Network. The transparent approval workflow for the procurement of goods and services can be configured in line with company-specific procurement guidelines.

Like its “big sister”, the solution offers an appealing user interface, an integrated search function for internal and external catalogues and a facility for accessing the Mercateo Unite marketplace via Spot Buy. SAP Ariba Buying emulates the SAP Ariba Buying & Invoicing solution, but does not include the Invoicing module. You can combine output categories, set up automated processes and manage workflows. The SAP Ariba Buying module enables you to optimise routine tasks.
