Please have a look at our SAP Ariba Manual for more information.
SAP Ariba is one digital solution that increases the efficiency of our collaboration. If you have not registered at SAP Ariba yet, we encourage you to join the SAP Ariba Network. Membership comes with great advantages, including the possibility to:
- Efficiently offer catalog items to a broad Gerresheimer community

Currently, Gerresheimer Procurement is using the following SAP Ariba functions for making the purchase-to-pay collaboration easy and efficient:
