Creating New Strategy and Plan Documents

A new version of the strategy and plan can be created when the category manager edits the data. SAP Ariba Category Management allows category management administrators to enable the Enable Versioning and/or Initiate Reapproval attributes for strategy and plan tools. Once these attributes are enabled, the category manager can make edits to a strategy and plan document that is in the active, approved, or rejected phases. If the strategy and plan tools are also enabled for initiating reapproval of the strategy and plan document, are notified to submit the new version of the document for approval for the new changes to take effect.

In this lesson, you mastered how category managers can update strategy and plan documents using SAP Ariba Category Management. We explored how category management administrators enable versioning and reapproval attributes. These attributes empower category managers to modify documents even if they are active, approved, or rejected. Remember, any changes you make must be submitted for approval if the reapproval process is active. This ensures your modifications are recognized and implemented efficiently.
