direct order
Direct orders are automatically generated when a requisition is fully approved, and then sent directly to relevant suppliers by fax or email. The records and history of the orders are maintained in Ariba Buyer, and do not involve an external Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system.
Direct orders appear in Ariba Buyer as approvable documents. "Ariba System" typically appears as the user associated with the order, indicating that the order was automatically generated. You can search for and display direct orders, and add comments or print them.
