SAP S\/4HANA is also natively integrated with the SAP Ariba Network for supplier collaboration and purchase order and invoice automation. This integration enables you to digitally send PO\u2019s to your suppliers, and conversely receive their invoices. You can establish rules on the network that ensure invoices won’t exceed the ordered amount or values, or allow for tolerances, as the case may be. You can read more about this integration on our S\/4HANA with SAP Ariba page<\/a>.<\/p>\n SAP S\/4HANA can be delivered on-premise or in the cloud. Compera offerings SAP S\/4HANA implementations, with special attention to the Sourcing and Procurement processes. You can read more about this on our S\/4HANA Sourcing & Procurement page<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” transparent_background=”off” background_color=”#f3f3f3″ allow_player_pause=”off” inner_shadow=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” make_equal=”off” use_custom_gutter=”off” prev_background_color=”#ffffff” next_background_color=”#ffffff”][et_pb_row background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”]<\/p>\n SAP Ariba is the most advanced, state-of-the-art, procurement solution of SAP. This cloud procurement suite covers all processes from Source-to-Pay and beyond like Supplier Lifecycle & Performance, Supplier Risk, Supply Chain Collaboration and Financial Supply Chain.<\/p>\n Key to SAP Ariba is the SAP Ariba Network, enabling collaboration with Suppliers around PO\u2019s, invoices, timesheets, contract negotiations, supply chain, etc. The image below depicts the various commerce applications of SAP Ariba. These can be acquired modularly. On the right side, you can see how the SAP Ariba Network supports various supplier collaboration scenario\u2019s.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” prev_background_color=”#f3f3f3″ next_background_color=”#f3f3f3″][et_pb_row background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/compera.vanvlerken.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Afbeelding1.png” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” animation=”off” sticky=”off” align=”center” force_fullwidth=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” custom_margin=”0px||0px|” animation_style=”none” animation_duration=”1000ms” animation_intensity_slide=”50%” show_bottom_space=”on”] Operational Procurement with SAP Ariba is also easier than ever before due to the very intuitive user interface of Guided Buying. With SAP Ariba Buying you manage your PO\u2019s in the cloud and your invoices in SAP ERP (P2O). With SAP Ariba Buying & Invoicing you manage both your PO\u2019s and Invoices in the cloud, and send the ok-to-pay file to SAP ERP (P2P).<\/p>\n Compera is SAP Ariba Partner and experienced in implementing SAP Ariba solutions at medium to large enterprise customers. For medium to large customers we have a special SAP Ariba SNAP! offering with a quick deployment (< 3 months) based on best practices. You can read more about this on our SAP Ariba SNAP!<\/a> page.<\/p>\n You can learn more about all SAP Ariba modules on the SAP Ariba website<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” transparent_background=”off” background_color=”#f3f3f3″ allow_player_pause=”off” inner_shadow=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” make_equal=”off” use_custom_gutter=”off” prev_background_color=”#ffffff” next_background_color=”#ffffff”][et_pb_row background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial” _builder_version=”3.0.106″]<\/p>\n SAP SRM is an e-procurement solution that was introduced in 1999. It supports Operational Procurement processes, Strategic Sourcing and Supplier Enablement. SAP will provide mainstream maintenance for SAP SRM 7.0 until 2025.<\/p>\n If you are currently an SAP SRM user there are various strategies ahead. You can improve SAP SRM in usability and functionality or you can consider replacing SAP SRM with its logical successors SAP Ariba<\/u> or SAP S\/4HANA. In this section, we are looking at improving SAP SRM.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text background_layout=”light” use_border_color=”off” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial” _builder_version=”3.0.106″]<\/p>\n These improvements make a lot of sense for existing SAP SRM customers. They deliver quick time-to-value. For new customers that do not have SAP SRM or SAP Business Suite licenses we would advise to consider SAP Ariba or SAP S\/4HANA.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” parallax_method=”off” prev_background_color=”#f3f3f3″ next_background_color=”#f3f3f3″ _builder_version=”3.0.106″][et_pb_row background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”]<\/p>\n At the core of SAP ECC is SAP Materials Management (MM). This contains functionality on all the materials that your company purchases. There are still organisations that have SAP MM at the core to support their request-to-pay processes. Some companies even moved from other solutions back to SAP MM (e.g. to get back to standardized processes and go from there). SAP will provide mainstream maintenance for SAP ECC until 2025.<\/p>\n Usability is however not the strongest feature of SAP MM. For the end user, it is not easy to navigate through SAP MM and find the right materials to order. SAP MM also does not offer easy catalog management and cross-catalog search functionality. Procurement departments consequently typically deal with many purchase requisitions based on text.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text background_layout=”light” use_border_color=”off” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial” _builder_version=”3.0.106″]<\/p>\n The easiest way to improve the user experience in SAP MM and enrich its functionality with amongst others a catalog engine, dynamic web forms, enabling cross-catalog search, is by integrating the BeNeering Cloud Suite. This is a SAP supported cloud product, offered only by Compera in The Netherlands. More information here<\/a>.<\/p>\nSAP Ariba: Source-to-Pay<\/strong><\/h5>\n
