Ariba-Email Notification

 

Best Practices for Avoiding Delayed or Failed Email Notifications

Use these guidelines to avoid delayed or failed email notifications from SAP Ariba Procurement solutions.

The more email addresses assigned to an approvable document notification, the more likely a delay or failure of an email notification. To avoid delayed or failed email notifications, do the following:

  • Use distribution lists for email notifications, instead of groups or individual email addresses. You can add a new distribution list or remove a distribution list, and users can be removed from a list by their organization's administrator.
  • Remove email addresses from the list of recipients, if needed. This does not remove a user from a group, it removes the user from receiving any email notification for any approvable document.
  • Allow users to manage which notifications they receive. If users can't opt out of receiving notifications, they'll continually be sent notifications based on group membership.

For more information on distribution lists, removing email recipients, and allowing users to manage notifications, see Managing Email Notification Settings and Recipients.

  • Encourage users to receive email notifications as a consolidated email message, instead of individual notifications. Consolidated notifications reduce the number of emails sent. Notification preferences are based on the approvable document type and the user's role: approver or watcher. Use the Default Notification Preferences task in Ariba Administrator. The following figure displays notification preferences for receipts, as an approver, the notification is set to Send consolidated email.

Ariba-requester and preparer

 

在Airba的世界有requester 及 Preparer 二種人,Preparer是指開Ariba單子的人,而Requester就是指Ariba單子上的 On behalf of 這個欄位的人




This document uses the following terms when describing users who receive email notification messages:

  • preparer is the person who fills out or submits a request.
  • requester is the user on whose behalf the request is submitted. Often the requester and preparer are the same, but not always. For example, if a personal assistant fills out all requisitions for the Technical Publications Manager, then the assistant is the preparer and the Technical Publications Manager is the requester.
  • An approver is a required approver. Required approvers must either approve or deny the request.
  • watcher is an optional approver who is notified of changes in approval flow, but doesn't have to act.

Ariba-Invoice上的charge 不會自動從PO上帶過來

在Ariba B&I Solution中,PO上可以輸入Charge,例如Shipping Charge或是Handling Charge,這些Charge在B&I開立Invoice時,會自動帶到Invoice上,不過預設金額會是放0

某程度可以視為PR/PO上的Charge是預估值,但是Invoice上的是實際值,來看待這個系統行為



Ariba-Intelligent Configuration Manager(ICM)

 

在Ariba的ICM中,可以自訂某些參數,讓某些流程可以依此參數變更。




Application.Mobile.EnableReceivingForMobile,例如起用此參數就可以在Mobile APP上進行收貨的動作

Ariba-預設Group Payment Agent

荒廢好久了的網站....這段期間做了S/4的昇級,也導了SAC,也做了SF及Ariba,就從Ariba開始來更新一下自己的網頁吧~


查詢問題時,只要用戶有 Payment Agent 這個 Group,用戶可以查到同一個 Purchase Unit 下的Invoice,

另外在 Manage 下

1.Approvable Role Assignments 這個功能是掛 Reassign Charge 這個 Role 下

2.Reconcile Charges 及 Unassigned Charges 是掛在 Charge Users 這個 Role 下

3.Reconcile invoice 是掛在 Payment agent 這個 Role 下

Ariba-的那些事

荒廢好久了的網站....這段期間做了S/4的昇級,也導了SAC,也做了SF及Ariba,就從Ariba開始來更新一下自己的網頁吧~

Ariba 這公司及產品是在 1996 年開發問巿的,後來在 2012 年被 SAP 併購。所以日后大家都慣稱 SAP Ariba這條產品線。 


SAP Ariba 是 SAP 的一套公有雲產品(Sourcing to Pay),可以概略區分為上游模組(如合約管理、供應商管理、供應商評鑑....)及下游模組(Buying、Invoice....),下游模組也可以概念性的說成Procurement To Pay的流程,所以含括了PR、PO、GR、INV....等等行為。因為是公有雲所以要客制的話都要找 SAP 原廠提出 CRD 進行客制評估。

Ariba 也有含括供應商平台,官方現在簡稱為SBN(SAP Business Network),其實就是過往Ariba業介大家熟悉的簡稱Ariba Network,基本上一個AN平台上每家公司會對應一個或多個ANID,這個ANID也概分為企業級版本或是標準版本,標準版本是不用收費的。

SBN是供應商來收發和客戶間交易的一個處理平台,如交期答交、發票輸入...等等。在國外大型公司甚至會將SBN上的這些功能和自家的ERP進行串接。Ariba 的串接ERP對像,並不限制在SAP的ERP上,甚至听我的顧問提及 Ariba 原始設計是針對Oracle 的ERP做為介接對像的,所以其提供了Web Service 可以使用;而和SAP 自家ERP的整合只能說....需要持續的完善。
