SAP Ariba Intake Management provides the ability to consolidate diverse procurement needs (new suppliers, contract renewals, non-catalog items, and services) through a unified, AI-assisted entry point. These offerings include streamlined request initiation, intelligent routing to appropriate procurement channels, automated data capture, and real-time tracking, all designed to simplify workflows, improve compliance, and enhance visibility across the procurement process.
This lesson will guide you through the steps to initiate an intake request, ensuring all necessary information is captured upfront for efficient processing.
Accessing The Intake Request Form:
The first step is to access the intake request form within SAP Ariba Intake Management. This is typically done through the Create New Request button, which allows you to use the AI assistant to provide the recommended intake request form. You also have the option to select from the Additional Request Types if you know which intake request type is needed.
To access your intake request form using the AI Assistant:
- Access your SAP Ariba account using your credentials.
- Select Intake Dashboard.
- Select Create New Request.
Completing the New Request Form:
The Start Request form prompts you to explain your request in plain language and include the details of what you need.
- In the text box, explain your request.
- Choose Get Recommendations.
- The recommended forms appear, indicating the best match.
- Choose Go in the appropriate recommendation. This will take you to the desired form, such as a purchase request, a request for service, a sourcing request, and so on.
