Suggests suppliers for guided sourcing events based on past similar events.
SAP Ariba Sourcing leverages machine learning to recommend the best suppliers for guided sourcing events based on historical data from similar events. This includes details such as item names, event types, departments, commodities, regions, material numbers, and past supplier performance, including invitations and contracts. The recommendation engine continuously improves: If you retrain the model, it learns from past user selections. For example, if 10 suppliers are suggested but only six are chosen, the model refines its future recommendations accordingly.
