How do I configure specific transaction rules for a supplier?

You can use a supplier group to configure specific transaction rules for a supplier or a group of them.

1. Login to your SAP Business Network buyer account
2. Click Supplier Enablement > Supplier Groups
3. Click Create
4. Enter Name
5. Click Supplier Group Transaction Rules

This will lead you to the Supplier Group Transaction Rules configuration.

1. Select the option Enter supplier group specific transaction rules, in order to configure transaction rules that will only apply to this supplier group
2. Configure the desired transaction rules > Click OK
3. Click OK to confirm the supplier group creation
4. Enter your comments for the operation, that will appear in the Audit Logs > Click Yes

After the group is created, you can add your supplier to it. In order to do that, follow the steps below:

1. Click the supplier group name
2. Use the Search By form if you know your supplier name or ANID
3. Or use the Add members option in the bottom of the suppliers table

You can also refer to How do I add suppliers to a supplier group? for more step by step instructions on adding suppliers to a supplier group.

Configuring specific supplier group transaction rules will make these rules to be applied only to the suppliers in this group. Suppliers that are not part of any groups will have Default Transaction Rules and Country-based Invoice Rules applied only.

For additional information on transaction rules, refer to How do transaction rules work within the SAP Business Network? or to the Default Transaction Rules section in the SAP Business Network buyer administration guide.
