Syensqo with SAP ARIBA
The Syensqo group has implemented a digital platform, SAP Ariba, to exchange electronic purchase orders (PO) and invoices with its suppliers. Therefore, Purchase Orders (PO) will be sent to suppliers via the platform and invoices will also be submitted to Syensqo via the same platform.
Once selected as “supplier” for Syensqo, you will be invited to join the platform (if that’s not done yet) according to Syensqo's strategy / timeline. Once the technical setup is done, using the Ariba platform will be a commercial requirement for our suppliers. The payment will only proceed once the invoices are posted on the platform. For suppliers not yet invited to SAP Ariba, the existing process stays unchanged.
Thus, we require all our suppliers to provide commercial and technical support to connect to Syensqo Ariba Platform.
You can find more information on our FAQ section, or the official website of SAP Ariba
Account types and onboarding process
- At Syensqo, we use Enterprise Account and Integrated Account.
- Which account type to use depends upon the agreement between Syensqo and the supplier and is usually based on the transaction volume and the goods / services types the supplier provides
- The use of the platform is FREE of charge for the transactions with Syensqo.
