How do I identify my account type (Standard Account or Enterprise Account)?
SAP Ariba provides two different type of accounts, the easiest way to identify the account type that you and your organization have is to access your account. At the top part of the ribbon of the account you will find this information, as demonstrated below.
A Standard Account is a completely cost-free account that allows you to transact with one or several customers, by receiving interactive documents via email sent by buyers (e.g. Purchase Orders). These interactive documents redirect you to Ariba’s logging page, to create and submit digital documents to your buyer customers. Standard accounts provide basic functionalities to suppliers, more information here.
An Enterprise Account is a full-feature account that is created prior to receiving documents from buyers. This account type allows you to organize and filter documents in an easy manner, set-up an automatic integration (interface between your ERP and your Ariba Network Account). This account type might be subjected to fees depending on the volumes transacted with all buyer Customers connected to this account.
