Question

What is the Ariba Network? 

Answer

The Ariba Network is a hosted service that enables suppliers and buyers to form relationships and conduct transactions over the internet.

As a supplier, you might already have an existing relationship with a customer who invites you to form a relationship on Ariba Network. As a buying organization (buyer), you use Ariba Network to enable electronic processing of orders and invoices with your existing suppliers. You might also search for new suppliers on SAP Ariba Discovery.

After a supplier accepts an invitation, the buyer can see the supplier’s catalogs and place orders. Suppliers receive the orders and can then create and send order confirmations, advance ship notices, and invoices if the buyer accepts these documents. The buyer can then send payment documents (remittance advices) to the supplier to document the payment transfer.

A supplier is an organization that sells any type of product or service. Suppliers can have more than one account, with each one possibly connecting to different buying organizations. Suppliers use the Ariba Network to:

When suppliers set up their Ariba Network account, they provide extensive information about their company—from the company address to the specific business policies. To communicate product and service offerings to buying organizations, suppliers can store catalogs on Ariba Network using one of several different formats. Alternatively, suppliers can specify a link that enables customers to punch out from their procurement systems to their website and shop for products and services there.
