Automate the Purchase Order process within a centralized platform, real-time updates and efficient communication.​ The SAP Ariba Network standard free-of-charge account facilitates the purchase requisition to purchase order process for suppliers in several ways and is the preferred way of working for the vast majority of suppliers.​ Some key advantages or this method versus a PDF order on via e-mail are:

1. Reduced Errors: Manual handling of purchase orders received via email can lead to errors. The Ariba Network reduces such errors by automating the process. For example, you can confirm the purchase order on the platform and your business requester will know in real-time the status of the order, providing full transparency and traceability.

2. Better Organization: Managing purchase orders received via email can be challenging, especially when dealing with a large volume of orders. The Ariba Network provides a more organized way of managing your orders. It allows you to receive the PO in one or more e-mail addresses of your choice.

3. Improved Efficiency: Processing purchase orders received via email can be time-consuming. The Ariba Network improves efficiency by automating the process.

4. Enhanced Visibility: With the Ariba Network, you have better visibility of your purchase orders as you can view and manage all your orders in one place. This account allows suppliers to exchange an unlimited number of basic documents such as purchase orders, order confirmations and view the status of their orders.
