18 Data Acquisition Overview
The Ariba Data Acquisition Schema A roadmap for the customer to create files in the proper format Helps the customer to define which data they want to include for upload Provides technical “do’s” and “don’ts” for the IT owner to follow in data extraction Defines the various tables and fields, and the requirements for their successful creation Is the primary and final reference for all matters relating to data extraction and file creation.

19 Data Acquisition Overview
Where does the data come from? Spend Data refers to the accounts payable data or any other supporting data including but not limited to purchase order data, purchasing card data, and third party payable data which the client provides to Ariba for processing during the Spend Visibility project. This data may include transactional data and data identifying client suppliers from any accounts payable systems. A Source System generally refers to a standalone software installation where actual payment transaction data is available (typically AP systems). The creation of a complete data set for a given Source System may include feeds from multiple feeds a number of systems to augment the AP data.

20 Data Acquisition Overview
Example of Related Systems Invoice (payment) information found in an AP system describes the transaction but does not contain a lot of related detail 1 invoice system = 1 SV Source System Supporting supplier detail may be found in a vendor master system 1 vendor master ≠ 1 SV Source System PO and item master detail may be found in an MRP system 1 MRP system ≠ 1 SV Source System Three separate source systems = 1 SV Source System

21 Data Acquisition Overview
Example of Independent Source Systems Oracle = 1 SV Source System SAP = 1 SV Source System To capture all the spend, transactions from both Oracle AP and SAP AP are required = 2 SV Source Systems

22

23 Data Acquisition Overview Questions
The following questions need to be answered prior to an extract being generated What constitutes an Accounts Payable (AP) Spend Event? Invoice entered for eventual payment Invoice receipt Invoice payment PO receipt Other? What types of transactions/spend should be included/excluded? Invoice supported by PO Invoice without supporting PO P-Card Expenses Check Requests Wire Transfers Intra/Inter-Company Payroll (should probably be excluded from extract) Other Transaction Types

24 Data Acquisition Overview Questions
Which ERP date field should be used to determine transactions that are in scope/out of scope? Which timeframe should the extract include? 12 months per contract How should taxes be handled? Is it necessary to flag direct vs. indirect spend? Is it necessary to flag Internal vs. External Suppliers? Are there specific requirements for enrichment we should be aware of upfront?

25 Data Acquisition Overview – Next Steps
A formal Data Acquisition Schema training will be right after this overview session The following team members should be present: Ariba Project Manager Customer Project Manager Business Analysts or Business Users IT Resources (person(s) performing extracts)

27 Data Enrichment Overview
The Ariba Data Enrichment (ADE) team will focus on two areas for enrichment: Supplier - Provide parentage and enriched supplier information. Invoice - Classify to a commodity code based on descriptive and ‘hint’ fields available in the customer-provided data. You have probably already seen this slide, it is the basic activities and tools that exist during the classification and enrichment phase.

28 Data Enrichment Overview
The following fields will be used to assign supplier parentage during the supplier enrichment: Name Address City State Zip Code Country

29 Data Enrichment Overview
Supplier Enrichment Example Outcome Spend with the Palmer House Hilton was $4,456, but total spend with Hilton Hotels Corporation as a parent is $577k Ariba Data Enrichment enriches and classifies your supplier spend using multiple sources of continuously updated data. In addition to our internal database of millions of global suppliers, Ariba licenses information from 3rd party supplier experts in N. America and globally. Enriched Supplier Parent Enriched Supplier Supplier Provided

30 Data Enrichment Overview
Supplier Level Hierarchy in Analysis Level 1 (highest): Active Supplier / Low Activity Supplier Shows enriched supplier parent for top 75% of spend or line items. The remaining 25% is grouped in one value as Low Activity Suppliers Level 2: Supplier Parent (enriched) Parent of raw supplier as enriched For the active suppliers, this will be the same as Active Supplier Level 3: Supplier (enriched) Supplier name after it has been Enriched Level 4: ERP Supplier Raw supplier as imported from source system (ERP) Basis for supplier dimension

31 Data Enrichment Overview
The following hint fields will be used to help perform classification during the invoice enrichment: Invoice & PO Descriptions Part Descriptions Suppliers ERP Commodity Descriptions GL Accounts Invoice Flex Fields (1-3)

32 Data Enrichment Overview
Invoice Classification Example Ariba Data Enrichment enriches and classifies your supplier spend using multiple sources of continuously updated data. In addition to our internal database of millions of global suppliers, Ariba licenses information from 3rd party supplier experts in N. America and globally. Customer Provided Information Ariba Classifications This example shows how the ADE classification process looks at multiple sources of information to make a classification to UNSPSC

33 Data Enrichment Overview
Invoice Enrichment Ariba Analysis allows users to report on invoice commodity classifications using the following fields UNSPSC – United Nations Standard Products and Services Code ACT – Ariba Classification Taxonomy

34 Data Enrichment Overview
UNSPSC Level 1: Segment Example: 44 – Office Equipment, Accessories and Supplies Level 2: Family Example: – Office Supplies Level 3: Class Example: – Ink and Lead Refills Level 4: Commodity Example: – Pen Refills Make sure to note that Ariba does not do additional research for this information. Information that is provided by our sources are used.

35 Data Enrichment Overview
ACT Foundation is UNSPSC New codes are being constantly added from 3 different sources: Newer version UNSPSC table when it is available. Leverage other industry taxonomies as benchmarking (e.g. Wand, eClass, NATO etc) SV customers' specific needs (e.g. Ingredients-Fruits-Fresh Fruits-Fresh Oranges) Offers six level - allows more detailed classification results than UNSPSC Make sure to note that Ariba does not do additional research for this information. Information that is provided by our sources are used.

36 Data Enrichment Overview
ACT Level 1, Example: Chemicals including Bio Chemicals and Gas Materials Level 2, Example: Compounds and Mixtures Level 3, Example: Inorganic Compounds Level 4, Example: Inorganic Acids Level 5, Example: Nitric Acid Level 6, Example: Pure Nitric Acid Make sure to note that Ariba does not do additional research for this information. Information that is provided by our sources are used.

37 Data Enrichment Overview
