SAP Ariba at ENGEL

With the introduction of the e-procurement platform SAP Ariba, we are continuing our journey into the digital world and fulfill ENGEL’s digital corporate strategy. SAP Ariba is the central network for our suppliers to provide and exchange data and to intensify the cooperation between purchaser and supplier.

Direct vs. Indirect Purchasing

The Differences

Direct Suppliers

The connection of suppliers in direct purchasing works via SAP Ariba Sourcing and Supply Chain Collaboration (SLP / SCC). You receive your purchase orders, contracts and contract release orders and can participate in the bidding processes / auctions.

  • Connection via SAP Ariba network

  • Supplier qualification and preferred supplier

  • Contracts and contract release orders

  • Standard orders

  • Delivery schedules

  • Shipping notification

  • RFI (Request for Information), RFQ (Request for Quote)

  • Auctions

Indirect Suppliers

The suppliers of indirect purchasing are connected via the SAP Ariba Network. There you receive your orders and have the possibility to send us an order confirmation as well as a delivery notification. You can also participate in call for bids and auctions and provide us with digital catalogs.
