Creating Discontinuation Processes in Supplier Profiles in SAP Ariba Supplier Management

In this video, you'll watch category manager Joe Ortiz create full and partial discontinuation processes in supplier profiles. Hi, I'm Joe. In this scenario, I'll start a full discontinuation process. As a process initiator, I can begin in either the Qualifications or Processes detail area of the supplier profile. In this case, I'm using the Qualifications area. First, I'll locate the qualification process I want to discontinue and choose More > Discontinue. The system pre-fills the process intake form with the commodity, region, and department details from the existing qualification process. To fully discontinue the qualification, I will not change the pre-filled values. I'll choose Next to move to the next step. On this page, I'll select the questionnaires to include in the discontinuation process. The disqualification questionnaire is required, so it's automatically selected, and I can't uncheck it. I'll choose Next to advance to the next step. On this page, I'll review the questionnaire recipients. The default recipient for internal questionnaires is the process initiator, which is me. I can update the recipient for any questionnaire by choosing Change recipient next to the questionnaire. I can add an optional message to questionnaire recipients, which will be included in the notifications asking them to complete the questionnaires. I will not enter a message because I'll be the only one receiving it. Finally, I'll choose Send and confirm that I want to create the discontinuation process. I have successfully created the full discontinuation, which changes the original qualification process to a discontinuation process in the supplier's profile. In this scenario, I'll initiate a partial discontinuation process. Similarly to the full discontinuation, I can start this process in either the Qualifications or Processes detail area of the supplier profile. This time, I'll begin in the Processes area. I'll find the qualification process I want to discontinue and choose More > Discontinue. To specify a partial discontinuation, I'll select a subset of the prefilled commodity, region, and department details from the existing qualification. I want to discontinue this qualification in Canada only, so I'll update the Region field accordingly. I'll choose Next to move to the next step. On the questionnaire selection page, the required disqualification questionnaire is automatically selected and I can't uncheck it. I'll choose Next to advance to the next step. On this page, I'll review the questionnaire recipients. As the process initiator, I'm the default recipient for internal questionnaires. If needed, I can change the recipient for any questionnaire or add an optional message for the recipients. Since I'll be the only one receiving it, I won't enter a message. Finally, I'll choose Send and confirm I want to create the discontinuation process. I have successfully created the partial discontinuation, which is now nested under the existing qualification process in the supplier's profile. You've now learned how to create full and partial discontinuation processes in supplier profiles. Thanks for watching.
