Supplier qualification and registration

Linde has selected SAP Ariba Supplier Lifecycle and Performance (SLP) for managing the qualification and registration of new suppliers and for maintaining important supplier information in our systems. The use of this SLP software is free of charge for our suppliers.

The use of SAP Ariba SLP aims at strengthening our partnership and developing a mutually beneficial environment for us to do business.

Once Linde has selected you as a new supplier, you will be invited by e-mail to register in the SAP Ariba Network and to complete Linde’s supplier registration questionnaire.

This registration will enable you to create and maintain your company details in Linde’s systems.

Please note that the invitation e-mail will be send from an SAP Ariba domain “@eusmtp.ariba.com”. Please make sure this e-mail does not end up in your SPAM folder.

Also please note that only once you are fully registered in our systems we will be able to generate purchase orders and process and pay invoices.

We aimed to make your registration easy-to-use. If you have any further questions regarding this process or require assistance, please review our SLP Linde Supplier Guide.
