Describing SAP Ariba 2411 Release Features

The Moody's name and logo now appear in place of the Bureau van Dijk name and logo in these areas:

• From the navigation bar on the left side of the Supplier risk administration page:
  • The Content and service providers page
  • The Configure risk exposure page on the Data sources tab of the configuration editor
  • The Risk domain supplier external IDs import file after choosing Import data → Link to SM admin.

  • The supplier list page
  • The map on the Supplier Risk dashboard
• The Provider name column on the Suppliers evaluated page on:
  • The Supplier evaluation progress tab
  • The Suppliers available for risk evaluation tab
  • The export to submit for evaluation on the Suppliers available for risk evaluation tab
• The Financial risk tab of the supplier profile
• The Licensed Provider Summary report

When you enable this feature, a new section called Recommendation is available to you in the Supplier Risk dashboard. This section lists the names of suppliers that have a significant change in the overall risk score. Choosing the View Details link next to the supplier name opens a popup with information about the percentage change in risk score for a given duration. The popup also provides you with the option to further act upon the recommendation by creating a finding, or by ignoring the recommendation for that supplier.

• The self-service site configuration parameter Identify suppliers requiring attention and recommend action (Application.SR.SUPPLIER.SRRecommendationAlert) must remain enabled in your site.
• The self-service site configuration parameter Enable custom risk categories (Application.SR.Risk.EnableCustomRiskCategories) must remain enabled in your site.
• To create a finding, Finding and Event Collaboration must be enabled.

Recommendations are available only for the suppliers that you follow.

Customers can define up to 25 custom risk categories. In sites where both the supplier profile summary feature (NGSM-2959) and the custom risk category feature (ARI-16780) are enabled, the Risk Exposure area in the banner of the supplier profile summary includes exposure information for up to four top custom categories. Users can choose View More Details to see complete risk exposure information for all available custom categories in the Risk detail area of the profile.

The top four custom categories are determined by weight or, in cases where weights are equal, by alphabetical order of names.

Previously, the Risk Exposure area only showed the four standard risk categories.

The following two features must be enabled in your site:

• Custom risk categories (ARI-16780)
• The supplier profile summary (NGSM-2959)

The edit page of the internal registration questionnaire and internal forms has a Save button. You can select this option to store your responses in draft mode. This allows you to return later to complete and submit your responses.

For SAP Ariba Supplier Information and Performance Management, this feature requires the "new architecture."
