Creating content for your events does not have to be a laborious task every time. Monique is able to reuse content from past events by adding content from the Sourcing Library.
What is the Sourcing Library
The Sourcing Library is a repository of reusable sourcing content. It can be used by your organization to store best practices documents, questionnaires, commercial terms, attachments, or other related information that can help to provide consistency among events within the organization.
Using library content also makes event creation quicker. By reusing information, you save time over creating content from scratch. Event project owners can also search past events they have access to via the library and recycle the event content available there.
In SAP Ariba, the Sourcing Library functions as a knowledge project, and it includes a team just like any other workspace on the site. Users in the Project Owner or Active Observers group can create documents. By default, the Internal User site group is assigned to Active Observers in the Sourcing Library.
Adding event content from the Sourcing Library
As mentioned, the sourcing activity of a company might be repetitive, for example, they are searching for suppliers of IT items by running parallel events on all continents simultaneously. Every event will follow specific regional guidelines and requirements, but part of the content, such as the company description and needs or the line items will be the same. Site administrators store such information in the Sourcing Library and the event owners can import it from there directly to their event.
