SAP Ariba 2022 Q4 Release: Best Downstream Features

The SAP Ariba 2022 Q4 Release on 11-11-22 included 89 new features. One of the top picks is also a top pick in our Best Upstream Features of the Q4 Release blog: the enhanced Icertis/SAP integration of their contracts modules. Most of the focus has been on the impact on upstream modules, but there are a lot of benefits for downstream as well. These are the downstream features that our consultants think will be the most useful to most users from the Ariba 2022 Q3 release.

SAP Ariba 2022 Q3 Release: Best Downstream Features

The focus on this particular release seems to be communication and efficiency. Many of the updates allow buyers and suppliers to be able to track their own orders, confirmations or invoices, so when they have questions they don’t have to call, email, message, text or otherwise engage Procurement, AP or an admin, which frees up those employees for more value-added tasks. These are the downstream features that our consultants think will be the most useful to most users from the Ariba 2022 Q3 release.

Change Management for SAP Ariba Success: Alignment of Roles and Processes

Switching from a manual procurement process or more antiquated system to SAP Ariba involves big, long-term changes. Because Ariba automates procurement, meaning you need fewer workers performing manual tasks, one of those changes often involves staff reductions or reassignments. That means tough decisions must be made. In this article we focus on how to plan for those staff reassignments and possible reductions in a way that’s fair, effective, and targeted, with as little disruption as possible.
