Have you implemented or are you planning to implement SAP Ariba for your business?  

SAP Ariba as a procurement and supply chain solution replaces multiple SAP legacy solutions (SRM, CLM, and part of the ECC functionality) with enhanced user experience and end-to-end support for source-to-contract and procure-to-pay processes. 

However, the Ariba solution isn’t always well-suited for mining companies for which a major business case is related to work-order-based procurement. 

We have also experienced difficulties in integrating Ariba with ECC.  

SAP recently released a new SAP S/4HANA solution named central procurement, which is supposed to facilitate the integration between Ariba and back-end systems.       

The format for Friday, Feb. 28 at 1 p.m. CT will include: 

• Brief welcome and kickoff from ASUG 

• Rapid case study led by ASUG members Sanjay Srivastava from Evergreen Packaging and Darren Schmidt from Newmont 

• The discussion will focus on: 

• Product evolution including central procurement 

• Procure-to-pay process in in Ariba versus ECC 

• Lessons learned from current implementations 

• Sharing of recent wins or successes, along with resources utilized 

Gain visibility into the challenges and successes other SAP customers are experiencing, and acquire new ideas for real-world solutions.
