An Ariba Network Identification (ANID) number is a unique identifier of an Ariba Network account. Suppliers may maintain multiple ANIDs for various reasons.

Your company can have multiple Ariba accounts, depending on your business needs. For example, if your company has several locations around the world, you might want a separate account for each region.

Your account's ANID number appears under the Account Settings icon in the top right. It is also visible at the bottom of every page, to the right of your company's name.

A trading relationship invitation begins with an email sent by your customer and directed to either the ANID number of an existing account or a link to set up a new account. This email is an invitation to connect with your customer enabling you to start receiving orders and/or submitting invoices on the Ariba Network. Only the account administrator can click to use an existing account when establishing a trading relationship.

To accept the trading relationship request:

1. Click the link in the email that says Click here to proceed.
2. The invitation link then prompts you to Create New Account or Use Existing Account. Select the option which best reflects your situation.
3. Once logged in, click Account Settings icon > Settings > Customer Relationships > See your customer under your Current Relationship
4. If necessary, select any Pending trading relationships and click Approve.

After the supplier completes registration, Ariba Network creates a single default role named Administrator.

• The Administrator role is automatically linked to the username and login that you entered during registration.
• The Administrator role should be assigned to the individual at your organization who is responsible for setting configuration options, managing supplier relationships and contacts, and maintaining the account over time.
• The Administrator serves as the primary point of contact for users with questions or problems.

Only one user can be named the administrator of your account. Sub-users can be granted all permissions to give them access to everything on the account with the exception of the Users page. Only the account administrator can manage users and roles.

You are receiving this message because the username you are entering is already associated with an Ariba Network, Ariba Discovery, or Ariba Sourcing supplier account. You will still be able to register a new user account, but the new username will need to be unique to satisfy Ariba's system requirements.

If you would like to access the account that already exists, please use the following site to request a password reset for the registered username: supplier.ariba.com ↗ (Ariba Network, Ariba Sourcing, or Ariba Contracts) To reset your password, click Having trouble logging in? on the login page.

If the account administrator is still with your company, they can reassign the administrator account to another user or change their user information to a different person.

If the account administrator is no longer with your company, but you have access to the registered email:

1. Use the Having trouble logging in? link on the login page to request a Password Reset.
2. After accessing the account, you can transfer the account administration role or reassign the administrator account to yourself.

If the account administrator is no longer with your company and there is no access to the email address on file:

1. Contact SAP Ariba Customer Support via the Support Center to change the administrator.
2. You will be required to provide the ANID number of the account, the listed administrator name, and email address.

This quick-start guide will help you set up your Ariba Network account, so you can begin transacting electronically with customers across the entire market-to-cash cycle. By taking these steps to join the world’s largest trading partner community, you’ll be able to quickly and easily find buyers ready to buy, improve customer retention, accelerate the sales cycle, and predict and apply cash.
