Supply chain management The Sourcing component in SAP Supplier Relationship Management is meant to offer end-to-end procurement for globalized and complex procurement processes. Starting with S/4HANA supply chain software and adding additional capabilities through components such as Ariba and C/4HANA can solve some of the thorniest supply chain issues. The recurring inspection functionality available in the SAP Quality Management component can help effectively maintain materials that are managed in batches and have expiration dates.
