SAP Ariba Guided Buying is an intuitive user interface that sits on top of the SAP Ariba Buying solution that further simplifies and streamlines procurement processes. Guided Buying is specifically designed for casual users (non-procurement professionals who make infrequent purchases) and functional buyers (who purchase goods and services for their own departments). Guided Buying offers a consumer-like shopping experience that guides users to make compliant purchasing decisions while adhering to company policies. Procurement professionals will still log in to SAP Ariba Buying and Invoicing for advanced purchasing, invoicing, and administrative tasks.
