Which SAP Ariba module is designed to simplify the procurement of non-sourced goods?

The SAP Ariba Spot Buy Catalog module is specifically designed to simplify the procurement process for non-sourced goods. This module enables organizations to efficiently purchase items that are not covered by formal sourcing events or contracts. The Spot Buy Catalog allows users to quickly and easily find and procure goods from a wide range of suppliers, ensuring that they can meet immediate purchasing needs without the complexities that typically come with sourced items.

By offering a user-friendly interface and access to various suppliers and products, the Spot Buy Catalog addresses the need for agility in procurement. It also streamlines the approval process, helping organizations respond promptly to requirements for non-sourced goods. This capability is essential for managing spontaneous or low-volume purchases that do not necessarily fit into the structured sourcing process.

In contrast, other modules like Spend Visibility, Contract Management, and Supplier Performance Management focus on different aspects of the procurement lifecycle, such as analyzing spending data, managing contracts, and evaluating supplier performance, which are not directly focused on simplifying the procurement of non-sourced goods.
