Ariba is a complete source-to-pay solution, meaning from the first instance of our suppliers participating in a sourcing event (i.e. RFP, RFI, auction) until the time they are paid for the good or service they provide, all these activities will happen within the Ariba platform. Newell Brands will utilize Ariba Sourcing to conduct sourcing events, Ariba Contracting to route and sign contracts, and Ariba Buying & Invoicing to send orders to our suppliers and reconcile subsequent invoices.

The Ariba Network is the world’s largest business commerce network. Ariba combines industry-leading cloud-based applications with the world's largest web-based trading community to help companies discover and collaborate with a global network of partners. Using the Ariba Network, businesses of all sizes can connect to their trading partners anywhere, at any time, from any application or device to buy, sell, and manage their cash more efficiently and effectively than ever before. Companies around the world use the Ariba Network to simplify inter-enterprise commerce and enhance the results that they deliver.

The Ariba Network offers suppliers a broad range of solutions and services to manage business transactions and content through a web browser or electronically through EDI/cXML. Being part of the Ariba Network positions suppliers to attract more business from existing customers, as well as gain new ones.

Transacting with Newell Brands through Ariba will transform the way we source, purchase, and pay for all goods and services, in a way that improves and streamlines business processes for us and our valued suppliers. As a supplier to Newell Brands, we are contacting your organization to inform you of these changes and request your help in preparing and ensuring a smooth transition to our new process.

Newell Brands has selected the leading e-commerce company Ariba to provide a technology platform (Ariba Network) that allows suppliers to receive purchase orders and send invoices electronically.

A regular Internet connection, a web browser, and a single order taking email are the only requirements.

Transacting electronically via the Ariba Network is required for all Newell Brands' suppliers that are in scope (please see listing of Newell businesses that will be utilizing Ariba here). We expect our suppliers to transact (i.e. PO receival/acceptance and Invoices submittal) with us via the Ariba Network.

No, this is a phased rollout. We will be rolling out Ariba to our North American locations/businesses first. Your organization will receive a notification if you are in scope to participate with Ariba. If you have questions whether your organization is required to participate, please use the contact us form below.

Newell Brands is utilizing the Ariba Sourcing Module for all RFP events. Suppliers will be invited to participate in sourcing events as they are initiated.

If your PO was received through the Ariba Network you will be required to submit any subsequent invoice to Newell Brands back through the network.

No. Include only one PO per invoice.

Suppliers in the Ariba Network will receive rejected invoices and/or credit memos directly through the Network for correction and resubmission. For Suppliers not in the Ariba Network, the process will work similarly to today, where the Supplier may be contacted by the AP Processing group or a Buyer depending on the reason for the rejection.
