If asked about SAP Ariba, I think I am likely to tell a colleague that A specific scenario would be to use SAP Ariba with an Agent to migrate the legacy contracts when a company has rolled out from scratch.

Stampli is best for a compony that has a large amount of payables. It stores everything in one place and reduces the need to keep paper copies of everything. It is less appropriate in a situation where payment is due at the time of services since it is sent via USPS mail and you have to take into account the mail processing times.

Cons
  • 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.

I cannot imagine going back to pre-Stampli processes. Our jobs in the Accounting department (not just AP) have all become more engaging because we've cut out so much mindless, non-value added work: data entry, signing checks, stuffing envelopes, stamping envelopes, etc.

Usability
After implementing SAP Ariba, our procurement operations have improved significantly. We know what to order, when, how much to order, and the dollar value we will spend. This helps us manage our inventory better and improve cash flow. Also, API enables us to integrate with external modules like logistics and freight booking and tracking.

Unified processes, reduced handoffs, and better visibility across procurement, contracts, and supplier collaboration. Ariba has access to the vast SAP Business Network, which helps with supplier onboarding, catalog management, purchase-to-pay collaboration, and global sourcing. If your organization uses the broader SAP S/4HANA or SAP ERP stack, Ariba provides native hooks, data models, and support for SAP-centric processes.
