Overall Satisfaction with SAP Ariba Procurement

At Kuwait Steel, SAP Ariba Procurement is used for all sourcing activities across the company. Currently the upstream SAP Ariba Procurement modules (e.g., supplier management, sourcing, contracting and commerce automation) are used to automate and digitize our source-to-settle process.

Ariba is seamlessly integrating to our SAP ECC environment, where purchasing (purchase order placement) is done as well as where goods are received and vendors are paid. All fully integrated and automated.
  • Process automation.
  • Create transparency in the sourcing process.
  • Collaboration within the company and with suppliers.
  • Dealing with discounts.
  • Savings should be calculated on net price, not extended price.
  • Contracts are created in ECC, since direct contracts with material code cannot be created in SAP Ariba Procurement.
  • Price comparison.
  • Collaboration capability.
  • Digital approval.
  • Seamless technical evaluation for materials with end users, heads, and plant managers.
  • Reduction in potential manual errors (no retyping of RFXs received from suppliers).
  • Ability to track turnaround times.

Would you buy SAP Ariba again?

Yes

SAP Ariba Procurement is well suited for local material purchases.

Import purchases with all the INCO terms (e.g., freight, documentation, insurance, etc.). SAP Ariba Procurement needs to be developed further--some of these costs are for the shipment and cannot be attributed to each line item.
