Completing our process via the SAP Ariba SLP Module is mandatory. Not completing it on time, could result in non-compliance and impact our existing trade relationship.

If you have an existing SAP Ariba account, you can choose to use it to:

•       re-Register and re-Qualify,

•       respond to future sourcing events and/or

•       potentially manage contracts.

However, some of our suppliers may want to create an additional Ariba Network account, to manage these three processes and modules separately.

Depending on which account you choose (Enterprise Account or Standard Account) costs may apply. For more information, please visit the section “What is the difference between an Enterprise and a Standard Account” in our FAQs.

If you or someone else in your organization received the SAP Ariba System generated Invitation to Register and it should have been sent to another person in your organization, do not simply forward it on. Contact us to have the email with the link resent to the relevant contact.
