Hi Artem
We found the same problem, but found our people like Excel more than Ariba, so I developed our eSourcing template and a term 'AribaReady' which allows users who use or centralised eSourcing team to prepare content (suppliers, lots / items and questions etc) in an Excel document that's easy for them to work with and share in their team, before sending to the eSourcing team for uploading into Ariba. The AribaReady format means all the necessary data is there, and the format isn't too dissimilar from Ariba that we can largely copy and paste into the genuine Ariba Excel upload template without too much manipulation
If you'd like to talk more, or exchange notes by WebEx, please let me know
best
andrew
