Guided buying is a capability that integrates with SAP Ariba Buying, SAP Ariba Buying and Invoicing, or SAP S/4HANA. It gives users outside your professional procurement group one place to search for goods and services in a consumer-like way and purchase using an easy-to-use interface. A simple user experience guides employees to buy from preferred suppliers while complying with internal procurement processes and policies.
Guided buying captures an organization's purchasing policies and uses them to guide casual users and functional buyers to the outcomes they need. Users know immediately when a policy is violated rather than finding out after submitting a request.
