What should I do if I receive the error message User already exists. Please enter a different username.? Can I still register if I see a message stating that my username is currently in use?

You are receiving this message because the username you are entering is already associated with an Ariba Network, Ariba Discovery, or Ariba Sourcing supplier account. You will still be able to register a new user account, but the new username will need to be unique to satisfy Ariba system requirements.

SAP Ariba requires that all usernames be formatted like an email address, but they do not have to be a valid email address. For example, if your username of example@ariba.com was not accepted, you can try using example1@ariba.com.

If you would like to access an account that already exists, go to the Supplier Login page and click Password.
