The new policy improves the transparency and efficiency of invoicing: purchase orders ensure compliance with the contract and sufficient approvals, and that the invoice is paid on time. If the PO number is still missing despite a reminder, the invoice is returned to the supplier. If the PO number is missing, we will notify the buyer and supplier. The supplier receives a purchase order (PO) number from OP that is used to invoice OP in Ariba. The No PO No Pay policy is based on purchase orders made in Ariba. To activate the system, you will need to create a personal or company-specific username by logging in to Ariba from a sign-up invitation or by responding to a call for tenders.

We invite suppliers to participate in tenders and send sign-up invitations and purchase orders via Ariba. The system is used to manage tenders, contracts, and supplier information and purchase orders.
