Identifying Document Choice documents

Surveys: SPM surveys enable you to collect qualitative and quantitative information about your suppliers from a group of survey participants.

Forms: A subscription-based, customizable SAP Ariba-formatted form document (also called a D-form) that can be optionally configured within a deployment to capture supplemental reportable data.

Savings Forms: These are available in SAP Ariba Sourcing and SAP Ariba Contracts. They allow users to compare baseline spending against different savings categories on a reportable form with standard fields, line item capabilities, and roll-up functionality.

Document Choice: A special type of document that does not contain document content; instead, it contains a list of documents from which the user chooses a document to create.

The following assembled documents options are only available within SAP Ariba Contracts:

• Main Agreement: This Microsoft Word document contains all the text of the contract agreement. There can only be one main agreement per SAP Ariba Contracts template and the contract workspace.
• Contract Addenda: These optional Word documents serve as additional text to the main agreement document and are version-controlled. They are like the main agreement, but you can have multiple contract addenda in each SAP Ariba Contracts template and contract workspace.

A document choice document is useful for guiding users to a subset of documents to choose from when adding documents to a project. Documents in a document choice are not added to a project until a user opens the choice and selects a document from the list.

A good example is the full sourcing project templates, which use document choices to display which event placeholders can be used to create an RFI, RFP, or Auction.

Document choice documents do not restrict users from creating additional documents in a project.

A project template can contain multiple document choice documents. In addition, you can assign visibility conditions to document choice documents.

• Document choices help users select from a predefined list before adding documents to a project.
• Users can create additional documents beyond those provided by document choices within projects.
• Document choices can include sourcing events, forms, surveys, reports, content documents, and subprojects.
