Ariba Network Identification (ANID or AN-ID) The Ariba Network ID of the supplier can be used as ‘TO’ identification for ECC outbound messages. For this, the supplier’s Ariba Network ID has to be maintained. Ariba Network Quick Enablement allows buying organizations to create new Ariba Network accounts on behalf of suppliers. They create these accounts by specifying the supplier’s company information in a Correspondent element in the header of purchase order requests to the supplier. Ariba Network uses this information to create the supplier’s account. SAP MM supports quick enablement of suppliers. This requires a flag in the maintenance of Ariba Network suppliers for users to select suppliers for which quick enablement is to be activated. If quick enablement is activated for a selected supplier, the sending SAP ECC system has to enrich the outbound cXML with additional data in the Correspondent element inside the To element.
