What is the process for Quick Enablement of a supplier via collaboration request?

The Quick Enablement collaboration request feature enables buyers to collaborate with the following types of suppliers:

• Suppliers who are not members of the SAP Business Network and do not possess an SAP Business Network ID (ANID).
• Suppliers whose ANID is not available in the buyer's Ariba Procurement Solution. This feature resembles the quick enablement via purchase order feature.

The steps involved in the Quick Enablement collaboration request process are the following:

1. A user adds a supplier whose ANID is unavailable in the Ariba Procurement Solution to a collaborative requisition.
2. The collaborative requisition goes to the SAP Business Network during the collaboration phase.
3. The SAP Business Network creates a private account for this supplier and generates an SAP Business Network private ID.
4. The supplier receives an email invitation from the SAP Business Network and clicks the link provided in the email to start the registration process.
   • If the supplier is not yet registered, they can accept the invitation by completing the registration process.
   • If the supplier is already registered, they can accept the invitation and combine their new relationship request with their existing account.
5. After registration, an ANID is created and the supplier gains immediate access to the account.
6. The supplier can, then, punch into the Ariba Procurement Solution to view and respond to the collaboration request.
