Prerequisites

To use these features, the buying organization must meet the following requirements:

• Only customers with an "SAP Realm" can use the Service Procurement with SAP Ariba Service POs workflow.

• The buyer must have a subscription to one of the SAP Ariba solutions listed at the beginning of this document and must be registered on SAP Business Network.

• The buyer must have a subscription to SAP Fieldglass.

• In the SAP Business Network buyer account, the following invoicing rules must be enabled:

  • Allow suppliers to send invoices to this account

  • Allow suppliers to send invoice attachments

  • Your procurement application can download invoice attachments (MIME multipart messages) (rule appears only when the rule Allow suppliers to send invoice attachments is enabled)

• The buyer must have an SAP Business Network trading relationship with suppliers referenced in SAP Fieldglass documents.

• For users to be able to access SAP Fieldglass work orders and SOWs directly from an SAP Ariba requisition, the SAP Ariba site and SAP Fieldglass must be configured for corporate authentication with single sign-on (SSO).

• These features are disabled by default. Enabling the features requires several configuration steps in SAP Fieldglass, in the SAP Ariba solution, and on SAP Business Network.

• On some sites, requisitions include custom fields that are configured as required fields. When the SAP Ariba solution creates an SAP Fieldglass requisition, any custom required fields must be populated automatically so that the requisition can proceed to the 'Submitted' state. SAP Ariba Customer Support handles this requirement during implementation.
