## TL;DR
Fix this in Ariba by acting on the exact problem first: in Ariba, compare a sample of the newly unclassified lines against the source file and fix the truncated or mis encoded description field that stops the classifier matching keywords, reload the corrected lines, and confirm the same lines classify on the second pass. Do not rerun the same operation unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one data load or spend segment first, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the results.

## Use this when
- The operation in Ariba fails with this exact problem: how to fix Ariba spend visibility error unclassified spend percentage spikes after data load fails error.
- The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
- Work described as a spend visibility review or a category management report is blocked until this is resolved.

## Not for this skill when
- The notice is a platform outage from the vendor. Resolve that first, then return here if this problem remains.
- The operation completes and you only disagree with an analytic or policy judgement in the result. That is an owner decision, not this failure.

## Steps
1. Reproduce the failure on one data load or spend segment in Ariba and record the full problem text plus the record, group or period involved. Verify: the failure is reproduced on demand on a named scope, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this problem: in Ariba, compare a sample of the newly unclassified lines against the source file and fix the truncated or mis encoded description field that stops the classifier matching keywords, reload the corrected lines, and confirm the same lines classify on the second pass. Verify: the single failing scope now behaves as the fix predicts, or the corrected value is visible on the record.
3. Check neighbouring items, meaning segments loaded in the same batch, because this class of failure rarely affects only one scope. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in Ariba on the previously failing scope, watching for the same problem rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original problem does not appear.
5. Compare the result against the source of truth, the source spend file, the taxonomy mapping version and the Ariba load report, so a silent partial success is caught. Verify: values match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the run log so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the problem, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

The verbatim form searchers paste from the console, report or run log. Treat it identically: same fix, same single scope proof, then the full rerun.

### How to fix - how to fix Ariba spend visibility error unclassified spend percentage spikes after data load fails error
The how to phrasing for the same failure in Ariba. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

### Ariba troubleshooting for this failure
The symptom first phrasing used when the console hides the full problem. Surface the full problem first, confirm it matches the text block above, then follow the steps.

## Why it happens
The classifier matches on supplier names and line descriptions, and a load that truncates descriptions or shifts their encoding removes exactly the text the matcher needs, so good spend looks unrecognisable.

## Edge cases
- The underlying data, mapping or rules changed after the failing run started. Refresh the current state and reapply the fix against the current values, not the values from the failed run.
- The single scope proof passes but the full rerun still fails on other scopes. Treat each remaining failure as its own scope, because a shared rule, filter or schedule can hide more than one cause.
- The source systems disagree on the correct value. The source of truth for this check is the source spend file, the taxonomy mapping version and the Ariba load report; record which source won and why.

Compatibility: Ariba at current versions, plus the ERP, card feed or procurement system the query names; no extra tooling beyond access to the source records needed to verify results.
