Hello Spend Management Community,
We’re excited to let you know that SAP Enterprise Support’s Readiness@Scale team is currently rolling out an update to the Release Navigator for Spend Management, aligned with the upcoming 2505 release.
As part of this update, we’re refreshing and enhancing the related content to reflect the latest improvements. These updates are now underway and will continue through May 2025.
We appreciate your understanding as we transition the content from version 2502 to 2505. Thank you for your continued support—and please see below for more details!
SAP Business Suite Shifts SAP Business Network to Supply Chain Management
In the first quarter of 2025, SAP unveiled the SAP Business Suite, marking a new era in enterprise management. This suite seamlessly incorporates AI and real-time data into SAP solutions. As businesses face increasing complexities, the next generation of software must be resilient while unlocking new opportunities. Leveraging SAP’s cloud infrastructure, SAP Business Suite provides enhanced flexibility and innovation compared to traditional on-premises systems. Starting with the 2502 Release, the SAP Business Network Release Navigator tile will lead to the Supply Chain Management Release Navigator in the new SAP Business Network section. Learn more about SAP Business Suite:
Effective April 2025, SAP Business Network products have been integrated into the Supply Chain Management solution area. Within this area, you can access release information and content related to SAP Business Network in the following areas:
- Procurement & Supply Chain Collaboration
- Logistics Collaboration
- Asset Collaboration
- SAP Ariba Guided Buying Integration with SAP WalkMe [GUIDEB-1250]
The SAP WalkMe Digital Adoption Platform is now available in Guided buying. Users can take advantage of easy-to-understand guidance powered by SAP WalkMe.
SAP WalkMe is an AI-powered solution that enables teams to create guidance and automation in the flow of work, while giving business and technology leaders insights into how people are using the software and where users can be more self-sufficient. This enables organizations to accelerate user adoption of technology, boost productivity, and maximize the value of enterprise software investments.
The 2505 Release will incorporate release content updates only. To minimize the disruption to customers & partners the Release Navigator for Spend Management will be integrating new UX innovations once per year, in August along with the release content. For each release in February, May & November, only release content will be updated. Here you can find the innovation & content upgrade plans for the end of 2025 & beginning of 2026:
