Frequently asked questions

A DUNS number is a unique nine-digit numeric identifier issued by Dun & Bradstreet, Inc. DUNS numbers are used to maintain accurate and up-to-date data on millions of global companies. Lenders and potential business partners can rely on the business credit files linked to your DUNS number to predict how reliable or financially stable your company is.

You do not need a DUNS number to use the SAP Ariba system, and entering a DUNS number in your company profile is completely optional.

If you have forgotten your username or password, in the first step you must select the option shown in the image and follow the instructions you will receive by email.

  • In the upper right corner of the application, click [user initials] > My account.

  • Enter your personal information and settings for your preferred language, time zone, and currency.

Note: By default, user organizations can see the name, phone number, and email address of your account administrator. If you are the account administrator, you can click Hide my personal information in the Contact Information Settings section to hide your personal information from organizations with which you do not have a business relationship within the SAP Business Network.

This option opens all fields through which you can manage the company profile, your information, interface data, etc.

Contact the administrator for these types of requests:

  • You need help updating user information.

  • You need access to your company’s test account.

  • You are getting an error that refers you to the administrator.

  • You need to become the administrator. The current administrator is still employed by your company, but is no longer the person who should manage the company account.

  • You need to request a user account for another employee of your company.

Additional information: If the administrator is no longer employed by your company and you do not have access to their account, contact SAP Ariba Customer Support to transfer the account administrator role.

  2. Create a role (each user must have certain roles – you can select all roles or limit the user to specific roles – this depends on your business strategy)
  3. When you name the role and select authorizations for the role, choose the Save option.

Note: The role you created will be available to you during future assignments, and you can later edit/delete it.

After the administrator adds a person, that person will receive 2 system emails:

  1. The first with general information

The new contact person can follow the links and successfully log in to the company profile.

Two possible options:
