It is possible to transact with Essity even if a supplier doesn't create an Ariba Network Account.​

The supplier will have to manually handle the purchase order in PDF form, received via a single ordering email address.

Limitations:​

  1. Purchase orders can only be sent to one e-mail address, regardless of whether the supplier has several sites or sales contacts or if it delivers to several Essity affiliates.

  • IMPORTANT NOTE: e-mail address, if possible, should be generic (non-personal). The reason is the turnover of employees in companies.
  • ​Example of preferred email: order@abc.com ​
  • Non preferred email is: john.travolta@abc.com
  1. It's not possible to perform "Order confirmation" nor follow the status of the order through the system. This means that any communication related to the order, confirmation or changes need to be communicated manually via e-mail to the Essity business requester who ordered the goods or services.
