Yes. Although you have registered on another buyer's Ariba Sourcing site in the past, registering on the Ariba Commerce Cloud is required. The registration process only takes a few moments with a simple one page registration. Registering on the Ariba Commerce Cloud gives you access to all your customer relationships with one username and password.
Registering on the Commerce Cloud provides you a consolidated view of all your customer relationships. With this one profile, you can quickly navigate between all your Ariba Seller Solutions to view business opportunities (Leads), participate in sourcing events (Proposals), participate in contract negotiations (Contracts), and manage orders, catalogs, and invoices (Orders and Invoices). All sellers participating in sourcing events where buyers use the Ariba Sourcing On Demand solution must now register on the Ariba Commerce Cloud.
The Ariba Commerce Cloud is your entry point to all of your seller solutions. Rather than managing multiple login IDs for multiple customers’ sites, you will have one login and one account. This means fewer passwords to remember, easier user maintenance for your company, and a unified profile for your organization.
You can export your event to Microsoft® Excel from test and import the content/rules to your production event.
Additional Information
Note: Rules can differ between test and production, so, at times, it is better to just export the content.
