The most interesting ones are:
SAP Ariba Sourcing
The new Zero Weight option allows buyers to include questions or sections in sourcing events without impacting the supplier’s overall score. This enhancement supports easier collection of additional business or technical information during evaluations.
SAP Ariba Sourcing expands attachment support up to 2 GB for selected file types. The enhancement simplifies handling of large technical documents, contracts, and other sourcing-related files directly within sourcing events.
Guided Sourcing introduces improved export capabilities for attachments and communication data. Buyers can download all event attachments in a ZIP file together with a spreadsheet containing attachment names and message content, simplifying offline review and documentation of sourcing events.
Administrator users are able to delete external systems. In case you needed to change an external system name, type, delete or create a replacement, you had to reach out the SAP Ariba support. After deletion, the original system name can be reused.
SAP Ariba Buying and Invoicing
After the purchase requisition is submitted in the mobile app, it is replicated in the SAP S/4HANA system. While creating requisitions, buyers can also add comments and attachments only at the line-item level, which are automatically replicated in the SAP S/4HANA system. Approvers can review, approve, or reject purchase requisitions within the mobile app; the approval or rejection status is automatically updated in the SAP S/4HANA system.
