Ariba Knowledge Nuggets: Procurement Reporting
1. Ariba Procurement Reporting
Ariba Knowledge Nuggets OOTB — Out of the box or prepackaged reports are available within your Ariba
Procurement application. The description of each prepackaged report includes a list
of the data elements used in the report. These default analytical, parameterized, and
compound reports are delivered with Reporting and Analysis as a basis for your own
customization or adaptation for your particular company’s needs. The reports are
grouped into folders by area, for example, Purchase Order Reports. Within the
Purchase Order Reports folder are reports relating to purchase order activity.
The reports that are available to you, and the fields that are available in those reports,
depend upon your company’s Ariba Spend Management solution configuration.
Today, I will cover report options in the default configuration. The best way to become
familiar with the reports is to work with them. In addition to the standard data fields
associated with each of the supplied facts, many of the reports contain user-defined
fields based on these data fields. In some reports, the data has been constrained to
illustrate a type of analytical report. For example, sometimes unclassified data has
been excluded from the pivot table view for easier recognition of other trends. So,
while these are out of the box or OOTB, there is an element of customization to fit your
particular reporting needs.
Reports are useful to gauge adoption, usage, and results. These tips, tricks,
suggestions and best practices are designed to help you get the most from your Ariba
solutions, achieve organizational success and elevate your procurement program to
best-in-class.

Important To Know
All analytical reporting in any Ariba solution is based upon fact tables
• Fact tables contain all of the information a user wants to report on
• What fact tables are available depends on the solutions
Fact tables are made up of
• Dimensions – Information about a business
• Measurements – Numerical data that contains measurable information about the fact
Reports in Ariba are based upon Microsoft Excel pivot tables
• After a report has been created it can be further modified by “pivoting” on any dimensional information
Reports are built around the numerical measurements with dimensions providing the associated business
information

You can't manage
what you don't
measure. It is an old
management adage
that is accurate today.
Unless you measure
something you don't
know if it is getting
better or worse. You
can't manage for
improvement if you
don't measure to see
what is getting better
and what isn't.

Best Practice Tip
It is important that you
communicate your metrics
both up and down the
organization.
Your boss wants to know
what's going on, but your
employees need to know
also. They are not motivated
to improve unless they know
how they are doing.
In addition, most of the
suggestions on how to
improve will come from them.

Best Practice Tip
Review your
metrics and use
them to guide
your decisions.
With your metrics in
place, you can tell which
strategies are working
and which aren't. If you
make a change, you use
the metrics to tell you
whether the change
improved things or not.

Best Practice Tip for e-Catalog Success
• A successful catalog technical lead will need to have the skills required
to understand content requirements, educate suppliers on these
requirements, cleanse and manipulate large amounts of catalog data,
and troubleshoot technical errors that may occur during the enablement.
• Depending on your industry, services can be one of the largest spend
categories and is often overlooked.
• According to Aberdeen, Best-in-class organizations do at least 74
percent of their buying through an eCatalog.
• The time from catalog upload to availability in production is less than
three days at a best-in-class organization.
