Tips   Upload a request

You can upload CSV files, sample contract forms, and resumes for candidates.

You can work with expense report data or procurement category definitions offline in a spreadsheet file in comma-separated (CSV) format, and then upload the file.

If line items from an uploaded spreadsheet file do not appear in a request, there may be a problem with the file. For example, it might be in an invalid format or contain invalid data. Edit the file as necessary and upload it again, or contact your administrator for more information.

You can also create a contract offline using sample forms, if provided by your company, and then upload the forms later to create the contract. If the upload is successful, the new contract request is listed with a status of Composing on the Status screen. Contact your administrator to learn more about the sample forms, or if the upload is not successful and the contract is not created.

Your administrator can batch upload contracts. See the Ariba Contract Compliance Guide for information.

Suppliers can upload a resume when creating a proposal for a candidate in response to a collaboration request.
