How does next-gen SAP Ariba handle invoicing and payables?

By Rahul Dukare· ·1 min read

Short answer

Next-gen SAP Ariba handles invoicing through SAP Business Network and invoice management: suppliers submit electronic invoices, the system matches them against purchase orders and receipts, and only exceptions go to accounts payable for review.

The invoice flow

  1. Supplier submits an invoice via SAP Business Network (or it is captured from paper/PDF).
  2. The invoice is validated and matched against PO and goods receipt.
  3. Exceptions (price, quantity, tax) are routed for resolution.
  4. Approved invoices are posted to SAP S/4HANA for payment.

How to raise the touchless rate

  • Enable high-volume suppliers on the network first.
  • Keep catalog and contract prices accurate.
  • Set sensible tolerances for price and quantity.
  • Review the top exception reasons monthly.
