A cloud-based solution for purchasing and inventory management, SAP Ariba is designed by SAP. It lets buyers and sellers connect and do business on a centralized platform. As a result, the entire procurement process may be digitally transformed thanks to SAP Ariba.
SAP Cloud ALM assists SAP Ariba in a variety of ways. You will be able to implement and run intelligent cloud and hybrid business solutions with the assistance of SAP Cloud ALM. You can use a native cloud solution that is ready to use right out of the box. This solution is the central entry point for managing your SAP landscape and has content-driven guided implementation and fully automated operations. Both your cloud subscription and your SAP Enterprise Support plan have already included SAP Cloud ALM.
The following are some ways in which SAP Cloud ALM assists SAP Ariba:
SAP Ariba serves as the “Swisscom Kaufhaus,” also known as the “Swisscom department store,” at Swisscom. This is where employees can manage their travel and expense accounts, hire staff, make requests for training, purchase facilities, make requests for business solutions, and purchase consumer goods.
Now that we have that out of the way let’s look at how SAP Cloud ALM supports SAP Ariba in deployment and operation.
There are many different tiles that each have a purpose that assists in completing a project. Some examples of these functions include Project Management, Process Management, Requirements Management, Features (Deployment, Transports), Test Management, and Analytics.
When we have finished setting up a project in SAP Cloud ALM, we can build a “Scope” and choose the appropriate solution scenarios to include. As a direct consequence of this development, we can now utilize the SAP Best Practice Processes for SAP Ariba.
The entirety of the SAP Best Practice Content is constantly accessible online and is kept up to date by SAP consistently. A significant benefit of using a cloud solution is that the content can be relied on to be current at all times.
During a project, the scope and the processes that were picked serve, in addition to their other functions, as an overview of the selected methods’ realization state.
Diagrams of the “Solution Value Flow” and the “Process Flow” are provided by SAP for every Best Practice Process that it implements.
Using these graphical methods, you can begin the “Fit/Gap” or “Fit Standard” workshops and start collecting Requirements, User Stories, Tasks, or notes immediately.
Their production is relatively simple; all required is to generate them directly from the process diagram.
The newly produced Requirement is displayed on the right side of the process diagram, and it is instantly linked to the process that is relevant to it.
You may get an overview of the current state of a process, its associated requirements and user stories, tasks, and the status of those tasks, as well as the current state of its related tests, here.
The hearts of every project manager just started racing when they saw this overview. At-a-glance access to all information regarding the project, derived from data taken in real-time from the system, provided both to and for all parties participating in the project. This makes it possible to control and keep an eye on a project.
As you are aware, this aspect of SAP Cloud ALM is more on the technical side.
