What is the purpose of the "Approve" & "Deny" buttons on the bottom of the Invoice Reconciliation page in 9r2?

The Approve and Deny buttons at the bottom of the list do not apply to Invoice Reconciliation. They do apply to other types of items in the system that require Approvals such as Contract Requests (CR), Requisitions (S), Payments to Individuals (XP), and eReimbursements (XR).

Why doesn’t the supplier name appear on the page that lists the invoices needing to be reconciled? It did before Ariba was upgraded to 9r2.

Ariba release 9r2 does not list the supplier name on the invoice reconciliation page as it did in 9r1. The supplier name is now only on the header of the invoice reconciliation. The technical team will look at this after the 9r2 rollout to evaluate whether or not to try to address this as an enhancement request.

When I select Preferences in the Ariba command bar, the select list now includes 2 options for Mobile Devices. Can I Activate/Manage Mobile Devices with Ariba?

Release 9r2 of Ariba added two new options under Preferences: Activate Mobile Device and Manage Mobile Device. This feature has not been enabled at this time.

Do not try to use it! If you select Manage Mobile Device, it will hang your Ariba session. If you accidentally do this:

  • Close the Ariba browser.
  • Open a new browser window.
  • Log back in to Ariba.

Ariba has indicated that there is a fix for this issue and we will be evaluating when to implement it.
