Error: Customer does not allow consolidation of accounts

I received the Error: The customer does not allow consolidation of accounts

Ariba Network Full Account or Light Account

If you have received the below Error you do not have Customer Administrator permissions for your Ariba Supplier Network Account. To view your account administrator's contact details, click your name at the top of the page and select Contact Administrator.

The Administrator will need to bring the interactive Purchase Order into your Ariba Supplier Network Account. After this step is completed, non-administrators can process invoices against the Purchase Order following the guidelines outlined by Ariba for Fully Enabled or Light Enabled accounts.

For More Information please visit the Ariba Help Center found in the upper right hand corner of the Ariba login page.

How do I update the Email Address PO’s are Sent to? If your company email address where you prefer to receive Purchase Orders from Micro Focus changes please contact your Micro Focus contact to have your new company email address updated in the Micro Focus SAP Ariba system. The following steps must also be taken.

After Logging into your account from the Purchase Order (Light Enabled) or into your Dashboard (Fully Enabled):

1. In the top right corner of the dashboard Select Company Settings drop down

2. Under Network Settings select Electric Order Routing

3. In the Electronic Order Routing tab, under Capabilities Preferences, New Orders Section, update the Email Address Field and ensure the box is checked for the field: Include document in the email message

Please note: You must reach out to your Micro Focus Contact to update this email address in SAP Ariba P2P. Failure to do this will prevent new PO’s from routing to the new email address.

Accidentally Signed Up for an Ariba Network Fully Enabled Account or Want to Downgrade from an Ariba Network Fully Enabled Account to a Free Ariba Network Light Account

If you clicked the button to upgrade your account thinking this would allow you to process Purchase Orders or your volume of transactions (PO’s, Invoices, Order Confirmations, etc.) on the Ariba Network is below 100 (for all your accounts, not just Micro Focus) and you no longer need the full functionality provided by the Ariba Network Full Account follow the instructions below.

I signed up for an Ariba Fully Enabled Account, but I prefer a Light Account, what do I do? After Logging into your account from your Dashboard perform the following steps to change your account type:

After rejecting the full account relationship follow the steps below to have a new Purchase Order sent to the Light account. • Reach out to your Micro Focus Contact to cancel the Purchase Orders • Your Micro Focus contact will need to submit a Supplier Change Request in Ariba with a note in the comments

box to remove your ANID. You will also need to provide the Name and Email address of the mailbox that will receive the PO’s by email.

• After the Supplier Change Request is processed replacement purchase orders can be created and will be delivered to the email address that was provided for your account.

Why am I receiving a Supplier Message Error when trying to open a PO?

Supplier Error Message:

"System Message: Security Access Violation. You are not authorized to view this document”.

Supplier resolution: The supplier must be the account administrator of their Ariba account to log in OR must be referencing the latest version of the PO

I am the System Administrator but receiving a Supplier Message Error when trying to process a PO.

Supplier Error Message:

"Security Access Violation. You are not authorized to view this document”.

Supplier resolution: Can you inform the Supplier to logout to their account and close their browser? Try to open again a new browser and click the Process Order from Micro Focus PO Email. This happens when Supplier is supporting multiple accounts from different Clients not only Micro Focus. If the issue still persists, kindly check if the PO was changed into another version or not.
