Pricing Strategies within SAP Ariba Sourcing Event Templates
When creating events in SAP Ariba Guided Sourcing, there are various standard event templates available, and knowing which one to select may not be intuitive for new SAP Ariba Guided Sourcing users. These event templates accommodate different response options, pricing strategies, cost factors, service items, envelopes, pricing conditions, and other advanced settings within the event rules, line item definitions, and lot settings.
Many of the diverse Guided Sourcing templates for Request for Proposals and Auctions have different rule settings that are enabled for when a situation requires a specific response method or pricing calculation. Most events may not require these more complex strategies, but it is essential to identify specific keywords and features within template names and descriptions to comprehend how pricing can be collected, structured, calculated, and responded to.
This course will help identify key terms like total cost, bid transformation, alternative responses, custom offline response sheets, and envelopes so that event creators can apply specific pricing strategies with custom terms, formulas, and other item attributes when the situation calls for it.
