Why can't I find a purchase order on my SAP Business Network account?

SAP Business Network.

If you cannot find a purchase order (PO), make sure that you have an active trading relationship with your customer. Your buyer's name should be listed underneath the [Current Relationships] tab. It is mandatory to have an active trading relationship before you and your customer start exchanging documents. If you do not have a trading relationship with the customer in question, you will have to provide them your SAP Business Network ID (ANID) and have them send you a trading relationship request.

If you have an active trading relationship, you may then search for your PO.

If you still don't see your PO:

1. Confirm with your customer that the PO was sent through the Business Network system.
2. Check with your customer if the PO was sent to your active supplier ANID.
3. Your customer might have submitted the PO through a temporary account. If the link in the invitation doesn't allow you to access the purchase order, contact your customer to send it again.
4. If you are not the account administrator, make sure that you have the appropriate permissions to view orders. You can find the account administrator's contact information by clicking [user initials] in the upper-right corner of the screen > Contact Administrator.
5. Confirm that your order is not hidden.

If you are searching for an order that was sent over 365 days ago, please see Why can't I find an older purchase order?
