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.
