I would definitely recommend using Basware Purchase to Pay in your organization, it handles high amounts of invoices efficiently and you can perform your work with ease. I am acting as a Basware superuser in my team so I know this software thoroughly and it rarely gives any issues, even errors are described in a clear way so the user knows what needs to be resolved/what is missing.

SAP Ariba is more suited for Sourcing and Procurement using the Ariba Supplier network. Wherein once the RFQ document is approved, PR is generated, and on approval, we have a PO created, which goes to the vendor, who then corresponding to the PO, confirms it and creates ASN to the company as a mark to sending delivery confirmation. It generated Inbound delivery on SAP EEP side and on Goods receipt, Invoice document is generated on Ariba supplier network. Which completes the Procurement step. So for external procurement process, where vendor uses Ariba it is better to use SAP Ariba. With connectivity and integration with SAP ERP.

  • Sometimes the system is slow. Cant say whether due to software or the system we use.
  • Dashboards could be improved and made more easily customisable.
  • Direct linking of Project Procurement Schedule with the Procurement Cycle of SAP Ariba will be a big step forward.

While its great at usability. I would love ut have it more simplified. I would like to advocate for some personas who are non tech savvy or who have less or no experience in procurement. I sometimes feel that the valley of user learning fir such personas is quite steep and it may take them long time of learning to get adept to the platform.
