Acciona | Utilities | 66021 | $21.1B | Spain | SAP | SAP Business Network | Collaboration | 2021 | n/a |
In 2021, Acciona deployed SAP Business Network for Procurement in Spain to digitalize procure to pay operations for procurement and accounts payable, positioning SAP Business Network in the Collaboration category to streamline supplier interactions and transactions. The project targeted standardization and traceability across purchase order lifecycles while aligning supplier behavior with Acciona’s sustainability objectives.
The implementation configured core procure to pay workflows including purchase order creation, order confirmation, goods receipt, invoicing, and invoice status updates, and used SAP Ariba Contracts to support contracting needs and compliance with Spain’s electronic invoicing legislation. Functional automation was implemented so that when a PO is created in the ERP it automatically updates SAP Business Network for Procurement, suppliers can post legally binding order confirmations, goods receipt events trigger supplier invoice creation, and invoice status information is reflected back to suppliers to improve transparency.

Operational coverage focused on procurement and accounts payable teams in Spain with plans to scale supplier onboarding to 12,000 by the end of 2024 and to increase transaction volumes in line with stated expectations.
Governance and rollout included a dedicated functional support team to guide suppliers through onboarding and adoption, and a roadmap to extend capability with SAP Ariba Supplier Lifecycle and Performance integrated with a third party supplier risk tool, plus SAP Ariba Sourcing and SAP Ariba Buying targeted for go live in summer 2024.

In 2022, Adani Enterprises implemented SAP Business Network as its Collaboration platform to centralize procurement across 24 of the group’s businesses.

Governance and rollout emphasized a harmonize not standardize approach, using SAP MaxAttention services to accelerate adoption and supplier enablement.
