Does anyone know about the Ariba procurement system?

The Ariba system is where the purchaser enters a username.

After entering the system with the password, choose the best brand and product according to your own needs.

Since the system has set the discount of the ** merchant and the corresponding unit price, the user only needs to choose.

Select Completion to generate an order, and the system will automatically send it to the corresponding **merchant.

This completes a purchase.

The Ariba Platform, is a mixed-use platform, most notably CSN, which is a network infrastructure for business-to-business (B-to-B) exchanges, which connects to non-Ariba B-to-B procurement and marketplace applications through its network connectivity program.

I've done a couple of ARIBA implementation projects.

SAP status.

In SAP, some business objects have stateful attributes that control and constrain the current operations of the business.

For example, the status attribute of the work order of the PM module and the project definition of the PS module is not stored in the business table of each business, but is managed by SAP in a unified manner.

System Status] starts with i, the master data table is tj02, and the description table tj02t

Table TJ04 allows you to find out all the relevant statuses based on the business object number (e.g. WBS is PRN).

User status] starts with e, each user status is associated with a user parameter file, the same status code is not used under the parameter file, the main data table is tj30, and the text table is tj30t

For each transaction, there is a unique object number, and the field name is usually objnr, which exists in the business table (aufk, proj...).

jest: The current state of the object number is stored.

jcds: There is a history of modifications to the state of an object.

function module: status read reads out the current state of a business object (note that it includes the state of the buffer in progress).

status update (add or modify status in batches).

I change status status update (cancel a current state, activate a new state).

In addition, there is also a function to take the status description of the project: status text edit, which is described in detail in the summary of some experience in the development of the ABAP project.

This problem can be said from multiple dimensions: 1. The platform architecture is different: SRM or SAP is a traditional module, which requires the enterprise to deploy the hardware environment, and then installs the software on a BASIS, while ARIBA is a cloud platform architecture, and the main SAP setup site can be used by users.

2. Function: The two overlap in terms of function, for example, there are many functions such as sourcing and contract, but the traditional SRM is based on event management, while Ariba is based on the idea of project management; I've compiled a comparison between the two**, you can send me a private message if you need it.

3. Implementation cost and cycle: Ariba is relatively fast because many of the standard functions are implemented, (there are projects that will be launched in 12 weeks), while SRM is longer, and the projects that are launched in 5 months are relatively fast. Of course, the implementation cycle directly affects the implementation cost of the project.

Above, throwing bricks and stones, please guide.

Ariba is the name of a company whose main mission is to help customers analyze, understand and manage their business expenses, resulting in a significant reduction in procurement costs and increased business efficiency.

Based in the United States, then their products are mainly focused on B2B e-commerce.

The Ariba platform, is a mixed-use platform, the most famous of which CSN is a business-to-business platform.

b-to-b)** exchanges.

Ariba only entered the Chinese market in February this year with the establishment of SAP's data center in China.

The reason why Lenovo decided to adopt Ariba in such a short period of time is that more than 2.8 million companies in more than 190 countries and regions around the world now conduct B2B transactions on ARIBA, with an annual transaction volume of more than 1 trillion US dollars.

1AllZBER is a strategic authorized partner of SAP Ariba for the world's largest sourcing network. To use an analogy, if you arrive in New York from Beijing, China, SAP Ariba will provide a ship to sell to you, while ZBER will only provide a ticket. Relying on SAP Ariba, ZBER provides a service that is in line with localization, such as ZBER Easy Bidding, which is an innovative model of "Internet + procurement"; There are also ZBER easy business opportunities:

The platform launches hundreds of more than 200 procurement sourcing opportunities every day to expand enterprise order channels.

It is a cooperative relationship, and the requirements of ARIBA are generally relatively high, and domestic enterprises do not know too much.

SAP Ariba is an end-to-end business that provides capabilities to support all aspects of the procurement process, from sourcing to contract analysis, procurement, and payment. In addition, in addition to managing the procurement process through the Ariba platform, the Ariba Network also brings together buyers and sellers, through which everyone can conduct transactions.

In June, SAP announced that Lenovo Group launched SAP Ariba Procurement Cloud and implemented this cloud-based solution across business units around the world, with the support of Deloitte, to build a collaborative digital procurement process that drives innovation and growth for digital transformation.

Let them send it separately, many of them provide such services, and our Mary office is also like this, the headquarters buys office supplies for us and then directly sends the logistics of their Mary office to the door of our branch, which is very convenient.

Focusing on the benchmark enterprises focusing on the digital track of enterprise procurement, there are ARIBA and Coupa abroad, and the main domestic enterprises are Shangyue and Zhenyun. These two companies have their own characteristics and advantages, Zhen Yun is more old-fashioned, it is actually a subsidiary of the domestic veteran software service provider Hand Xinlet Xiaoxi. Ten years ago, it entered the field of enterprise procurement, and in 2017, Hand Information separated the procurement business and established Zhenyun Technology.

In 2018, it received investment from JD.com. Shangyue is relatively young, only established in 2018, but its development momentum is very strong, and the starting point is very high. In more than a year since its establishment, it has raised 3 rounds of financing of more than 200 million yuan, Sequoia Capital.

Led the A round of investment of more than 100 million yuan, which shows that the capital is very optimistic about its prospects. Zhen Yun returned to slide and because he entered the field early, he was stronger than Shangyue in terms of the number of customers served, product line, and experience. But the advantage of Shangyue is precisely that it is young, and the founding team of Shangyue mainly includes the former Alibaba.

Composed of core talents such as Deloitte and Oracle, Shangyue has rich cross-border experience in procurement, e-commerce, software, and the Internet, which Zhenyun does not have. Therefore, they are more advanced and industry-leading in the concept of enterprise procurement digitalization. Shangyue's target customers are mainly for large and medium-sized enterprises, such as Sany Heavy Industry.

Great Wall Motors, Baker Housing and other companies finally chose Shangyue with more advanced concepts and structures. The digitalization of corporate procurement has just begun, and the market is big enough that the stock price of a company like Coupa has doubled this year, reaching a market value of $20 billion. Zhen Yun and Shang Yue should have the opportunity to be companies with a market value of tens of billions.

Nowadays, the enthusiasm for the digital transformation of enterprise procurement is high, and the number of domestic purchases in the bank is rising. Contribute to the digitalization of procurement. (2) Business model: Mainly provide SaaS as the core of the product.
