How should we prepare for next-gen SAP Ariba?

By Rahul Dukare· ·1 min read

Short answer

Start with a five-step checklist: assess your current SAP Ariba landscape, clean your master and contract data, review processes and approval flows, map integrations, and build a phased roadmap with business cases for the AI features you want.

Five-step preparation checklist

  1. Assess your landscape: list modules, integrations (S/4HANA, ECC, third-party), custom fields and reports.
  2. Clean your data: supplier master, catalogs, contracts, commodity codes.
  3. Review processes: simplify approval flows and remove workarounds you no longer need.
  4. Map integrations: decide which interfaces move, change or retire.
  5. Build a roadmap: phase the transition and tie each phase to measurable benefits.
