What is the link to Ariba?
Implementing SAP Ariba is part of our effort to continuously improve our operational efficiencies. SAP Ariba integrates purchasing processes from requisition to invoice payment into a one-stop-shop:
- The tool facilitates approval workflow processing which simplifies our PO and invoice approval processes.
- Documents from requisitions, to purchase orders to invoices are linked together electronically and shared between suppliers and Refinitiv over the Ariba platform streamlining our internal processes.
- As a result of these processes, we expect improvements to invoice payment times.
Do all suppliers have to be on the Ariba network to transact with us?
If the transactions require a purchase order, or if the suppliers are hosting purchasing catalog for us, then they will need to be on the Ariba Network. Once a supplier has been on-boarded they can register for the no-fee Ariba Light Account offering. Ariba is the typical mode of payment for most countries where Refinitiv operates unless otherwise denoted.
