For which document do Ariba Network suppliers pay transaction fees?

Ariba Network suppliers pay transaction fees primarily associated with Purchase Orders. This is because the Purchase Order represents a formal agreement between the buyer and the supplier, and when business transactions are conducted through Ariba Network using Purchase Orders, suppliers incur fees that support the transaction processing within the platform. The fees help facilitate features such as electronic order management, invoicing, and payment processing.

While other documents such as Non-PO Invoices, Contracts, and Quotes are important in the procurement process, they do not directly involve the transaction fees incurred by suppliers on Ariba Network. Non-PO Invoices are typically used for purchases that do not use a formal purchase order, Contracts are agreements outlining the terms of business, and Quotes relate to pricing proposals, none of which carry the same transactional fee structure as Purchase Orders do in the Ariba ecosystem. The focus on Purchase Orders reflects the core role they play in formalizing supplier-buyer transactions and the associated services provided by Ariba Network to support those transactions.
