In a suite-integrated environment in Ariba P2P, which supplier master data is shared?

In a suite-integrated environment in SAP Ariba Procurement to Pay (P2P), the shared supplier master data primarily includes the System ID. The System ID is crucial because it serves as a unique identifier that connects various systems within the integrated suite. This allows the procurement system to communicate seamlessly across different platforms and ensures that all transactions and records can be accurately aligned with the supplier information.

The integration relies on consistent identification of suppliers across multiple modules and external systems, making the System ID indispensable for maintaining data integrity and synchronizing supplier records. This is particularly important in environments where procurement, supply chain, and finance are interconnected, ensuring that the correct supplier information is used throughout the procurement process.

Other elements of supplier master data, such as Supplier ID, payment terms, and contact details, may vary between systems or not be consistently shared in the same manner across the integrated platforms. Thus, they might not serve the same primary role as the System ID in this context.
