How is a purchase requisition released/unblocked in SAP S/4HANA Cloud in the Guided Buying Capability with SAP Ariba Buying (2NV) scope item?

Question

Options

• AThe purchaser submits the shopping cart for approval.
• BThe purchasing manager approves the purchase requisition in SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
• CThe purchaser creates a purchase order from the purchase requisition.
• DThe approver approves the shopping cart in SAP Ariba Guided Buying.

• A
  5% (3)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  92% (61)

Explanation

In the 2NV scope item integration, SAP Ariba Guided Buying is the front-end procurement tool where the shopping cart originates and its approval workflow lives - so when the approver approves the shopping cart in SAP Ariba Guided Buying (D), that approval event triggers the automatic release of the corresponding blocked purchase requisition in SAP S/4HANA Cloud. Option A is wrong because submitting the shopping cart only initiates the approval workflow - it doesn't complete it. Option B is wrong because in this integrated scenario, approval authority sits in Ariba Guided Buying, not in S/4HANA Cloud; the purchasing manager's action in S/4HANA is bypassed in favor of the Ariba workflow. Option C is wrong because creating a purchase order is a step that happens after the PR is already released - it cannot be both the cause and the effect.

Memory tip: Follow the flow - "Ariba approves, S/4HANA reacts." Since the shopping cart is born in Ariba Guided Buying, its approval also dies in Ariba, and S/4HANA simply listens and unlocks.
