and facilitates and guaranties the Integration
with them.

the scenarios needed for eProcurement thanks to its
configuration & parameterization capabilities allowing
a rapid deployment.

supplier support services to facilitate to our suppliers
the interaction with the Ariba Network and to solve
the problems and doubts they may have about
the solution.
• The Ariba Network is a cloud-based system, making it

16. Where We Started (2014)
• 2.000 active suppliers, 10.000 Purchase Orders (45.000 Line Items), 27.000 Invoices.
• 20% of suppliers concentrate 75% of the invoices.
• Average time to register invoice: 28 days.
• Lyreco supplier: Monthly invoice including all the shipments done during the month → Invoices frequently
blocked due to lack of goods receipt in the system.
17. Goals
Electronic management of Purchase Orders, Shipment Notices and Invoices to:
• Decrease invoice registering time
• Decrease process costs
• Decrease invoice errors
• Improve transparency to suppliers about invoice status
• Change process in certain scenarios (Invoice per Shipping vs. Monthly Invoices)
• Decrease use of paper
Internal process has not changed (VIM + ERP), but communication with suppliers has been greatly
improved, as well as the information suppliers get.
18. Deployment
Pilot
• Oct/2014 - Jan/2015
• Selected core set of national suppliers already on the Ariba Network willing to work on this project with Navantia.
Phase 1
• Jan/2015 - Sept/2015
• Selected next set of suppliers with highest invoice number in 2014.
Phase 2

• Selected another wave of suppliers with highest invoice number in 2014.
Phase 3
• Mar/2016 - ??
• All suppliers with relevant number of invoices in 2015.
Enablement efforts have effectively automated 25% of total invoices.
19. Challenges Encountered and Overcome
Supplier engagement
• Harder for suppliers with few high-value orders.
• Easier for suppliers with many low-value orders.
Integration to SAP ERP
• It’s not plug-and-play.
• More information needed when some errors occur.
Support
• Language barrier can be an issue.
20. Results

28. From AP current Process, 75% auto posting to 100%
• Enable as much vendors on the Ariba Network
Better quality invoices, less errors, will improve auto-posting rate
Only allow invoices which are 100% correct for posting, this will make Work Flow superfluous.
• Freight Invoices through Transparix, e-invoicing on Freight PO (10%)
• Auto Processing of remaining invoices without PO, like pension fund, insurance invoices, etc., through Sticky Notes
on invoice PDF (10%)
• Smart adjustments in P2P process (5%)
• DIRECT POSTING FROM THE ARIBA NETWORK IN SAP FMO
• Cutting Interfaces and Maintenance Programs
• Less IT dependent
