Support for cost items, cost terms, total cost auctions, and total cost RFPs in guided sourcing
Feature ID

SS-29006

Feature Description

This feature enables buyers using guided sourcing capabilities of SAP Ariba Sourcing to create total cost RFPs and auctions. Buyers can specify cost items and cost terms and create total cost formulas that enable them to perform various arithmetic operations on the quoted price to factor in additional costs such as transportation, taxes, and so on to have a holistic view of the total cost involved. Cost terms can be defined as adders, subtractors, multipliers, and percent discounts.

Customer Problem

Buyers cannot create and use cost term data in guided sourcing, preventing the overall total cost evaluation of an item.

Customer Value Proposition

With this feature, buyers can now use cost term data within guided sourcing which helps with overall total cost evaluation of items.
