Integration Workflow

The following workflow illustrates the process of sending Request for Estimates (RFEs) to suppliers in SAP Fieldglass.

The following steps indicate the high-level workflow of sending RFEs to suppliers in SAP Fieldglass:

  1. An administrator creates request for estimate (RFE) tiles on one or more landing pages that direct users to corresponding statement of work (SOW) bid templates in SAP Fieldglass based on the mapped commodity codes.

  2. A requester, to request estimates for a service from one or more suppliers, clicks on the required RFE tile.

  3. The user is directed to SAP Fieldglass where a corresponding SOW bid is created.

  4. The user fills in the required details, selects one or more suppliers to send the request to, and submits the SOW bid for approval.

  5. SAP Fieldglass sends the status of the submitted SOW bids to SAP Ariba Guided Buying.

  6. Suppliers in SAP Fieldglass review and respond to the SOW bids.

  7. The user tracks the status and progress of the RFE in SAP Ariba Guided Buying, and navigates to SAP Fieldglass to review the supplier responses.

  8. The user selects a suitable response and changes it into a statement of work, which creates a corresponding purchase requisition in SAP Ariba Guided Buying.

  9. The user then reviews the created purchase requisition and submits it for approval.
