SAP Ariba Contracts Features

The integration with Spend Management and Sourcing modules is seamless and helps create rate contracts with suppliers at the click of a button. The reminder functionality is also standard.

The price. This was a much awaited piece from ARIBA for most customers using Sourcing and wanting to have an entire procure to pay. There is no singled out cost for this module but overall project implementation costs are pushed higher due to this and the functionality is pretty standard and cheaper off the shelf solutions available in the market

It is very customizable, allowing us to determine the fields we need filled out for every contract request, the process and point persons for approving every request and the contract drafting workflow process tailored to our needs. After customizing it, it is a very complete and useful work tool for requesting an drafting contracts.

It is not very user friendly. As a lawyer, it is the tool I use on a daily basis for the drafting and execution of contracts, but the business areas that request the contracts (which use it only for requesting the contracts they need) have a very hard time learning their way around the tool.

It has a ton of auditing and reporting features but pretty unintuitive to use. I wouldn't recommend this again

I think it needs to be more intuitive and take a page out of design from mobile web pages or apps. A lot of the options are hidden and take too many clicks to get to.

Clause library and contract management functionalities.

Nothing

1) Ariba reduces time and effort and the best part is that the approvers can provide approval through the email and they don't need to go in the system to do it. 2) Reporting and monitoring is very easy in Ariba. You can take out customize your report. Contract Facilitator can setup automatic notification 3) Contracting steps are very easy and the system is user friendly

At times the searching functionality is slow and it keeps loading the pages for some time. However overall its good.

I like how the entire spend and integration between various departments have been consolidated in to a single software.

Takes time to get into the habit of using it. Considering the high features, it is not easy to master in a short time.

1. It can be integrated with docusign, that makes things even more faster. 2. Single repository for all contracts inside your organisation. Search any contract from anywhere. Honestly this avoids any duplicate creation of contracts. 3. Since all contracts can be stored electronically on Ariba, can avoid lose of contracts and manage easily. 4. Dashboard saves me. Dashboard will have contract status such as expired contracts , expires with in a month or so. You can take necessary actions by seeing the dashboard.

The system is not user friendly. Navigating to particular item is quite difficult. Requires more practice.

Excellent reporting capabilities; I like. How easy it is to pull invoice reports

It's a little cumbersome as in its not very intuitive and you need to be trained.

I can honestly say there is not one single thing that I like about this software it is not user friendly at all.

I can definitely say I dislike everything about this software, the main page is clunky and not very streamlined. It needs improvement in every area.

This platform allowed for an SAP integrated system that facilitated contract management.

While the integration with SAP was a great convenience, there were lots of master data elements that had to be actively maintained.

As a supplier of professional services, Ariba Contract Management helps keeps our bidding organized and we use it to track orders, invoices and payments on jobs. It is also easy to use from a supplier perspective in that you can generate supplier registration questionnaires electronically, instead of having suppliers submit responses to questionnaires, RFPs, or statements of qualifications via paper.

If you want to retain or access your documents through the software, you need to pay an extra fee to do so. If you don't pay the fee, then after 18 months your documents are automatically deleted.

As a supplier, and therefore not the purchaser of this product, there are still many customizable features that make creating invoices very easy. You are able to make account changes without an administrator, ie. name/emails etc.

The print feature for invoices is too long, would like it to fit on one page.
