Enabling Optional Features for Control-Based Engagement Risk Assessment Projects

To use department as well as commodity and region when assigning users to project groups using buyer category assignments (the user matrix), your Designated Support Contact (DSC) must contact SAP Ariba Support to enable the department dimension.

To allow requesters to submit engagement requests with no supplier selected, a Customer Administrator user in your site must enable the self-service configuration parameter Application.SR.Engagement.AllowOptionalSupplier.

To introduce a new Actions tile on the Supplier Risk dashboard that links to a new Action queue page for users to access their open approvals, To Do tasks, and other actions for control-based risk assessment projects, a Customer Administrator user in your site must enable the self-service configuration parameters Application.SR.Engagement.EnableActionQueue, Application.SR.Engagement.CreateActionsForToDoAndApprovalTasks, and Application.SR.Engagement.CreateActionsForToDoAndApprovalTasks.

To show only registered suppliers (suppliers with a registration status of Registered) during supplier selection in the engagement request and the advanced send assessments workflow, a Customer Administrator user in your site must enable the self-service configuration parameter Application.SR.Engagement.ShowRegisteredSuppliersOnly.

By default, control-based engagement risk assessments use the simple workflow for sending assessments. This workflow includes a number of restrictions:

• When the task owner starts the To Do task to send assessment questionnaires, the project does not show which assessments are sent before the task is completed.
• The recipients for an external assessment questionnaire are all of the contacts for the engagement’s supplier but you can choose to send them to the supplier primary contact only.
• The contacts must be defined before the send assessments To Do task starts.
• The recipient for an internal assessment questionnaire is always the default recipient.
• In an engagement with required external assessments, if the task owner sends assessments when no supplier is selected, or when there is no contact defined for the supplier, there is no way to send those assessments again after correcting the problems and the engagement becomes stuck.

With the advanced workflow for sending assessments, the owner of the send assessments To Do task can:

• Choose which assessments to send in multiple separate rounds.
• Send internal assessments before a supplier is selected for the engagement.
• Select the engagement supplier after sending internal assessments, even though the engagement request is no longer editable.
• Select which supplier contacts and internal recipients can receive individual assessments.

To use the advanced workflow for sending assessments, a Customer Administrator user in your site must enable the self-service configuration parameter Application.SR.Engagement.EnableAdvancedSendAssessment.

To add the ability to assign and reassign some tasks to individual users or the overall project group who owns the task and to include a new engagement task list page with a unified view of all project tasks to which a user has access for each engagement project, your Designated Support Contact (DSC) must contact SAP Ariba Support to enable the feature.

To introduce the ability to copy control-based engagement risk assessment projects to create new engagement requests with the same business details and inherent risk screening questionnaire answers, your Designated Support Contact (DSC) must contact SAP Ariba Support to enable the feature.

To introduce an optional configuration option for restricting the total number of levels by which users can change the residual risk ratings of engagement projects, your Designated Support Contact (DSC) must contact SAP Ariba Support to enable the feature.

To allow editing and canceling of engagement requests in any phase before final project approval, a Customer Administrator user in your site must enable the self-service configuration parameter Application.SR.Engagement.AllowAdvancedEditCancel.
