Join us on our digital journey!

Ahlstrom is in the process of renewing its Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) environment. The goal is to optimize the P2P process. Part of this renewal is the connection of Ahlstrom and its suppliers to the SAP Business Network. On this page, you will find information about this transformation and a comprehensive FAQ to answer questions. This portal is regularly updated and provided with new information.

The SAP Ariba platform will help improve our collaboration with suppliers by streamlining all our supplier management, sourcing and buying processes.

New way of digital working at Ahlstrom

SAP Ariba is a cloud-based procurement system with a transaction platform called SAP Business Network. This network serves as our transaction platform for the exchange of digital business documents with our suppliers (including purchase orders, order confirmations, and invoices). If you want access to the SAP Business Network, please create an account at https://supplier.ariba.com and contact supplierenablement@ahlstrom.com.

Benefits of working digitally

Accelerate the sales cycle while lowering your cost of sales
Boost sales through catalogs and find new customers ready to buy
Respond to RFP/RFIs, submit proposals, and negotiate contracts using one system
You can conduct business with Ahlstrom more easily because purchase orders and invoices are processed in a streamlined digital manner. Purchase orders, invoices, and order confirmations are sent and received centrally, making documentation and information easily accessible.
With an up-to-date overview of the invoice status, less time needs to be spent on status updates and inquiries. You can view the payment status of invoices directly from the SAP Business Network. You can also opt for an email notification about the invoice status.
Invoices are accurate and complete, enabling timely payment of invoices. With a higher matching rate, the likelihood of delays due to corrections is lower, and it is more likely that payments will be processed immediately.
Operational costs are lower due to less manual work and corrections. Invoices are automatically generated based on the purchase order, reducing the number of corrections.
