Filtering based on Custom Fields

[Gracie_Calgon]

Hello, we use our Ariba Spend Management to store and workflow contracts. We have a few custom fields including the person that requested the contract review, the type of document being reviewed, whether the review is needed ASAP, and many more. When I attempt to create a report of any of these things, they are not available to be used in reports. For example, if I wanted to create a report of all of the requests that a specific person made in the last year, I am not able to do this. I created a Service Request and the SAP Agent stated that this functionality is not available in Ariba and told me to do an implementation suggestion.

Are any of you able to filter based on custom fields? I am skeptical and a bit frustrated. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,

how did you add the custom fields? If use the CRD approach, I think there is an option to make the custom filed available in report as well.

Best regards,

Sirui

Hi there Sirui. We used an implementation partner to get the custom fields. Unfortunately, I don't know what CRD means.
