Chi devo contattare in caso di domande o problemi? Ariba o il cliente?
Sintomo

I am unsure whether to contact SAP Ariba Customer Support or my customer directly when I have a question or encounter an issue related to my SAP Ariba account or transactions.

I am not sure how to contact Ariba support.


Riproduzione del problema

A user will typically encounter this issue when they have a specific problem. The steps to reproduce the user's confusion are:

  1. A supplier logs into their SAP Ariba account.
  2. The user identifies a common business issue. For example:
    • They cannot find a Purchase Order they were expecting from a customer.
    • An invoice they submitted has been rejected and they do not know why.
    • They want to know the payment status of an approved invoice.
    • They have a question about a specific requirement in a sourcing event.
    • They are not an administrator and need to have their user permissions changed.
  3. The user decides to seek help. They look for a general "Help" or "Contact Us" option within the platform.
  4. The user is presented with generic support options (like the Help Center or a general SAP Ariba support contact) without immediate, context-sensitive direction that differentiates between customer-specific issues and platform issues.
  5. The user, lacking clear guidance, incorrectly selects a point of contact. For instance, they contact SAP Ariba support for one of the transactional issues listed in step 2.
  6. The support representative (from SAP Ariba or the customer) who receives the inquiry is unable to resolve it and must redirect the user to the correct party, delaying the resolution.

Causa

The system lacks a clear, readily accessible guide that explicitly outlines the distinct support responsibilities of SAP Ariba and the customer's internal business units. Users are not immediately aware of which issues fall under SAP Ariba's platform support versus which are related to their customer's specific business processes and transaction management (such as invoice content, payment status, purchase order details, and sourcing event specifics).
