SAP Ariba offers the supply chain the opportunity to trade fully electronically, helping to achieve digital transformation and optimal scalability.
The size of the network is unparalleled and, thanks to the new e-invoicing solution, the methods for which the buyers and suppliers can transact have been greatly enhanced, enabling digital transacting like never before.
PDF Invoicing from SAP Ariba extends the reach of electronic invoicing and now readily enables medium volume senders (suppliers that submit between 50-500 invoices per client per annum) to transact digitally on the Ariba Network. It also removes the need for suppliers to do PO Flip or undertake lengthy technical setup or error prone OCR.
This service enables the rapid submission and receipt of invoices from supplier to buyer. A supplier simply emails or uploads the invoice (as produced from their billing system as standard) and this is converted to an Ariba Network compliant invoice for automated processing.

How to enable PDF Invoicing
Buyers
Simply raise a service request via your SAP Ariba contact who will support you through the integration process. This includes service configuration, supplier onboarding and support through to successful roll out.
Suppliers
When the service is enabled by the buyer, the supplier will need to follow the enablement steps and submit sample invoices for set up as directed by the Ariba Network feature guide (5 minutes). SAP Ariba will provide support with the process should this be required.
Projects typically take around 2-4 weeks to deliver, depending on project requirements. Contact your SAP Ariba contact to begin your e-invoicing project. Note PDF Invoicing projects are delivered via SAP Partners CloudTrade.
