Ariba DSN purchase Order output question

[allychen]

Hi,

Not all of our client's supplies will use Ariba supplier to receive the Purchase order. Our client is still need to send out SAP Purchase order to the suppliers are not using Ariba supplier.

Since Ariba PO format and SAP PO format are not the same format, would like to know what is the approach or how other companies to handle the Purchase order output format?

Thanks.

Hello,

Usually customers use orders only on Ariba Network if they decide to purchase DSN licence so we do not have this issue or such a requirement.

Is there any issue because of two different PO formats? (suppliers who are not on the network will not know about the second format anyway)

Can you explain further?
