Centralizing Contract Workspace Creation
We're undertaking a process to centralize the contract workspace creation process. Today it is reasonably decentralized where ~60 Strategic Sourcing users create their own contract workspaces. We face a number of challenges in the current environment because of it being centralized. Since workspace management isn't their primary function, the number of workspaces in draft and draft amendment climb into the hundreds. Managing this count to a lower number is very challenging. When workspaces are created and submitted into an approval flow, 'Contract Admin' (our team) are the first approvers on the flow to check for data integrity. We have to send a lot of workspaces back because they are filled out inaccurately. Often times people accidentally amend the wrong workspace.
As we start to think about centralizing the process, there are a number of things we have to consider. I'm really interested in understanding your process and how your system is configured to accomplish the centralized function.
1. How do you receive inbound requests for a contract? Via email to a group mailbox? Through a ticketing system? Through Contract Request? Is it in excel? Word?
2. When you receive the inbound request, how much information are you collecting? Too much and you may as well have them create it themselves!
3. What is your SLA upon receipt to then create the workspace?
4. Who owns the contract workspace on the overview tab? Is it a member of the centralized team? Or is it the author of the contract?
5. If the central creator stays as the workspace owner, how is the expiring notification process handled?
6. Did you make modifications to the team tab to accommodate this? Is the Sourcing owner there? Can you report on it?
7. What advice would you give us as we plan to roll out contract compliance?
8. Did you go back in history and load contracts to apply contract compliance to them? Or did you pick a point in time and only apply to that moving forward?
9. What other processes should we consider putting in place?

SPM for events / audio-visual providers
Hi
I've stakeholders wanting to conduct SPM surveys for providers of events / exhibitions and audio-visual equipment, but they feel our standard question-set doesn't quite work for these types of service.
Does anyone have any experience, advice, questions or templates to share that are for more subjective / different product / services ?

Scoring Precedence
I am curious of the priority of the scoring within the scorecards and surveys. Both allow for different scoring. In the surveys you can weight sections and assign levels of importance to the questions. In scorecards you can weight both sections and questions. My guess is that when the two are used together, the scorecard takes precedence as the survey can be a standalone item. My testing using both survey and scorecard showed no different in the scoring of the participants averages when assigning different levels of importance to the questions. What I don't know is if this supports my idea of which takes precedence or is because of an insignificant sample size (4 participants). Can anyone confirm or provide direction.

Does ARIBA suits EPC project in oil and gas business?
Hello,
I would like to understand whether ARIBA is a suitable tool when it comes to manage procurement for a large EPC contractor operating in the oil and gas industry.
Is ARIBA able to provide the following:
1) When I'm looking for a Supplier, am I able to see for each product category their application field?
2) Once the order is placed, is ARIBA able to manage all hard and soft deliverables (material and documentation)?
3) Can ARIBA implement a delivery schedule for each deliverable?
4) Can it measure the progress for each deliverable?
5) Is it able to provide KPI for each Supplier?
6) Which performances the software is able to manage and is it possible to get them customised?
7) Is there any tool built in to expedite Vendor activity?
8) How about reporting: is it able to provide status of all Vendors + progress for each deliverable in real time?
9) In case of a project, is the software able to manipulate all Vendor data to provide an overall progress/status pictures?
10) Is there any module available to issue formal communication (instruction, queries, concession, ...) between buyer and seller?
11) Can you provide a list of ARIBA Clients in the oil and gas industry?
Thanks

Limitation of reportable fields in the SPQ - How do you run reporting?
Dear User Community,
we are currently in the process of implementing the SIM module for our global vendor on-boarding.
Looking at the draft version of our SPQ, we already have a list of 130 questions/fields.
Based on the feedback from Ariba only 100 questions/fields are reportable in the analytical reporting and this is even restricted by type of question/field.
We are really having issues with this constraint, as obviously we want to have almost all fields/questions in the SPQ reportable as other functions are using it to collect relevant supplier information.
Moreover we didn't repeat any of the Ariba commerce cloud questions/fields in our SPQ e.g. diversity information, but we got told that Ariba commerce cloud data is also not reportable in the Ariba analytical reporting. Only fields/questions from our SPQ would be reportable.
How are you dealing with this constraint of reportable fields?
Are you extracting data from the SPQ and Ariba commerce cloud and using external reporting capabilities?
I'm really pleased about any answer which could help to solve this problem!
Thank you!

Participant Survey Responses not included
I completed a test survey and scorecard and invited two participants. Both submitted responses to the survey and I could see the results prior to the event closing. After it was completed, closed, and published only one of the participant responses was used in the scoring. Is there a bug or did I miss something?

Import Invoice into Ariba
Hi All,
I see that Ariba does not provide with a standard solution for Importing Invoices from SAP to Ariba. The reason why I am starting this discussion is to understand whether anyone has encountered a similar scenario / need for importing invoices. If anyone has can you please share your experiences on how you went about doing the same.
I was thinking on two lines for this solution
1. Importing Invoices through the standard file method
2. Or atleast accessing the Invoice posted in SAP through some Web Jumper kind of option (Just a thought)
Thanks
Pramod
