LSEG Procurement Portal is powered by SAP Ariba. It serves as a global collaboration platform between LSEG and its supplier partners.

LSEG will be using the global Ariba network to send our suppliers electronic purchase orders; enabling them to seamlessly send us e-invoices in return.

Ariba is for members only. If you have an account, log-in or register for Ariba.

We aim to pay all invoices with correct purchase order (PO) numbers as per the contracted due date, or as per the terms and conditions.

We operate a strict no-PO-no-pay policy, this means you must have a valid purchase order before starting work and submitting an invoice for payment. Always ask for a PO from your LSEG contact.

If you have any questions or issues, please contact our helpdesk. For those suppliers who actively work with our Sourcing and Vendor Management teams, please continue to work directly with those teams if you have any questions.
