Hello SAP Ariba community!

We’re thrilled to introduce several innovative features designed to enhance your procurement processes. These updates focus on improving visibility, efficiency, and integration across our SAP Ariba solutions. For those of you looking for a deeper dive into specific functionalities, we’ll also provide links to detailed blogs that explore a more comprehensive view for specific areas. Let's dive right in!

Master Data Overview in SAP Ariba Central Invoice Management (CIM-1428)

With the new Display Imported Master Data app, you can now view all master data along with replication details imported to SAP Ariba Central Invoice Management from connected systems. This feature addresses the need for visibility over replicated master data, ensuring that you can validate and monitor data replication efficiently.

Extract Multiple PO References at Header Level (CIM-431)

Invoice processing just got a lot smoother. The Extract at Header Level Multiple PO References from Invoice feature utilizes SAP AI Business Services' Document Information Extraction to pull multiple PO reference values directly at the header level of an invoice. This advancement enhances automation and accuracy in handling invoices, helping you save time and reduce manual workload.

Duplicate Invoice Detection (CIM-220)

Enhance the reliability of your invoice processing automation with the Duplicate Invoice Detection feature. This function checks fields such as company code, invoicing party, external reference, and invoice date in draft invoices against existing invoices during editing or transfer. It automatically flags duplicates, preventing errors and potential fraud.

Purchase Requisition Approvals in SAP Ariba Shopping Mobile App (SAS-318)

Efficiency on the go! With the Support for Purchase Requisition Approvals in the SAP Ariba Shopping mobile app, approvers can easily search for requisitions in their to-do list, view line-item details, and approve or reject them through a role-based user interface. This feature ensures that crucial approval workflows are accessible anytime, anywhere.
