Full Sourcing Project Functional Components

Full Sourcing Projects contain project management features such as task, process, and document management. All sourcing projects are based on templates, which provide the ability to model an organization's best practice sourcing process and the ability to have unique processes for different commodity categories. Each project will have different tabs which will contain pre-populated Documents, Tasks, and Team members inherited from the template that was selected during creation.

Select the number icons to learn more about each tab included in a Full Sourcing Project.

The video provides an overview of a Full Sourcing Project created within Ariba Strategic Sourcing. It begins with an overview of what a Full Sourcing Project is, how it differs from a quick project, why they are used, and who can create them. After the overview, there is a brief demonstration of Creating a Full Sourcing Project in the site, and navigation of the different tabs and sections within the project workspace. Select the play button to watch.
