Frequently asked questions

SAP invests significantly in SAP Business Network to ensure it offers suppliers and other trading partners more value and support than any other collaboration product in the industry. This includes providing suppliers with onboarding services and support in multiple languages and locations worldwide, which requires investment from our customers as well. In addition, SAP bundles value-added functionality, services, and support into subscriptions tailored to suppliers’ level of participation

We offer five subscription levels: Premium, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. The subscription level each supplier receives is aligned with the financial volume and number of documents they transact on SAP Business Network as well as their technology usage. Many of the subscription features and services are available directly on SAP Business Network, so suppliers can access them by simply logging in to their accounts. For answers to more specific questions regarding subscription services or billing, suppliers may sign into their SAP Business Network account to contact support through the help center.

To understand how fees are calculated, please download the subscription overview and fee schedule above. You can also try the fee calculator that can help you estimate fees based on your expected SAP Business Network activity.

Transaction volume is calculated as the total financial value in the applicable currency, including any taxes such as value-added taxes (VAT), of all non-PO invoices plus the total financial value of all POs, excluding canceled orders, or all invoices generated from a PO, whichever is greater, sent over SAP Business Network for the preceding 12 months. To avoid double counting, PO-based invoices sent through SAP Business Network are not included in the transaction volume.

Annual document count is the number of POs and all invoices (both PO-based and non-PO-based invoices) for the preceding 12 months. Order acknowledgements, change orders, advance ship notifications, and settlement/payment remittance advice documents are excluded from the document count; suppliers may transact an unlimited number of these at no cost.

Only purchase order and invoice, both PO- and non-PO-based, documents are included in the annual counts.
