SAP Ariba uses the United Nations Standard Products and Services Codes (UNSPSC) standard to define product categories on Ariba Network. This classification system includes four levels of categories, from broad to specific.
The highest-level category is called Segment. If you supply all of the products or services in a segment, just select that segment and customers will be able to find you when they search for any of the sub-categories under that segment.
If you can’t find a code for a specific product or service, select the closest match from a broader category. Watch our Launchpad video for a helpful example.
Add company keywords.
Buyers generally search for products using keywords, so show up in more searches and improve your SAP Ariba Discovery leads by adding relevant product or service keywords. For the best results, choose keywords that are general rather than specific, and use layman’s terms instead of industry jargon.
