Purchase Orders (POs) are not sent to the SAP Business Network for some suppliers. The POs are reaching the ERP without issues and there are no errors in the Purchase Requisition (PR) or PO history.

Possible causes for this issue include the following:

• Supplier location has a preferred ordering method of:
  • URL, but there is no SAP Business Network ID (ANID) assigned to the Common Supplier (aka Supplier Organization)
  • Email, but there is an ANID assigned to the Common Supplier
  • URL, but the parameter Application.Procure.EnhancedOrderRoutingToANForERPOrders is disabled and the supplier location has no ANID
• Parameter Application.Procure.OrderMethods does not have the ERPCC order method as the top choice (this would affect all suppliers).
• Any of the above configurations changing between versions of an order can also cause an order to not send to the SAP Business Network.
• The PO is a change order and the original version of the order did not attempt to send to the SAP Business Network for any of the above reasons. In this case, the supplier's configuration does not matter for the change order. Ariba will not attempt to send a change order to the SAP Business Network if the original order did not attempt to send to the SAP Business Network.
• The PO contains an attachment that is greater than 10MB.

The supplier needs to be properly configured to receive AN orders. Ensure that the supplier meets the following criteria:

AN suppliers:

• Supplier Location field PreferredOrderingMethod is set to URL
• Common Supplier has an ANID
• Supplier Location has an ANID

Email suppliers:

• Supplier Location field PreferredOrderingMethod is set to Email
• Common Supplier does not have an ANID

All suppliers:

• Application.Procure.OrderMethods has the ERPCC order method as the top choice.
