Enterprise Account
The SAP Ariba team will contact existing suppliers recommended to transact on an Enterprise level account to accept the Trading Relationship Request prior to the go-live date. Enterprise accounts provide many supplier benefits and are aimed at suppliers who have higher transaction volume. Suppliers interested in integrations or hosting catalogs will need to transact using the Enterprise account level.
Standard Account
Standard account suppliers will receive an interactive email with their first purchase order after the go-live date. This email will be received from [email protected]. Standard accounts are recommended for suppliers with low to medium volumes. Suppliers can upgrade to Enterprise accounts at any time. Enterprise account level suppliers may be subject to fees.
