Features
Create purchase requisitions more easily
Catalog and non-catalog Purchase Requisitions can be created via an intuitive natural language interface embedded in MS Teams. The collected data is sent to SAP Ariba via the Catalog Item Webservice. Purchase requisitions can thus be created by users who are not trained in the use of SAP Ariba.

Integrate natively into MS Teams
This Procurement Bot is natively integrated into MS Teams, making it available for users as an MS Teams chat. This provides an interface many users are familiar with already which makes the interaction more convenient for them.

Monitor pending approvals more comfortably
Approval tasks assigned to the bot's user can be monitored via the chatbot embedded in MS Teams. There is no longer the need to directly log into SAP Ariba to view these tasks. Approvers can thus monitor their tasks comfortably and might even review them more frequently.
