Thank you for your interest in doing business with the Flint Group.
The Flint Group uses ARIBA, an electronic transaction processing tool by SAP, to manage our supplier onboarding process and to issue and manage purchase orders (POs) and invoices. Transacting electronically on the ARIBA Network is a standard part of doing business and an expectation of all of suppliers of the Flint Group moving forward.
Ariba and The Flint Group are contacting suppliers in phases during the rollout and will send you a Project Notification Letter when it is time to convert to the new process. This letter will explain how to register on the Ariba Network and the steps to take to create your account. The following tutorial will take you through the registration process
If you are using the functionality of the ARIBA Network already, please provide us with your existing unique ANID to ensure all account setting will be set up properly.
Please note that ARIBA offers two version: the Light Enablement Account and the Full Enablement Account. The Ariba light account is completely free. Suppliers can choose, but are not required, to opt for the full account and add further value-added, fee-based services.
