Here's How It Works:
-
Order purchases as usual
Purchase order is automatically created, including payment terms from vendor master. -
Invoice is automatically generated
The payment terms you set are pre-populated. Your supplier can log into Ariba Network and add final charges like shipping costs. -
Invoice is validated and payment approved
Your business receives the invoice via SAP Ariba, validates it, approves payment, and the payment request is sent to SAP Ariba automatically. Your supplier receives timely notification, logs in, and processes payment. -
Transaction is automatically reconciled
Enhanced American Express data file is uploaded to your ERP system. PO, invoice, and general ledger (optional) are automatically matched, validated, and reconciled.
