SAP Business Network has been re-platformed onto SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). Your account migrates as part of a planned wave — SAP manages the process. When your migration is scheduled, you’ll receive a 30-day notice with everything you need to prepare. Your data, your configurations, your transaction history, and your supplier relationships all carry over. For most buyers, the preparation effort is modest. If your organization uses CIG or Supply Chain Collaboration, there are a few specific steps we’ll walk you through.
Your migration is scheduled by SAP as part of a planned wave.
SAP analyzes each customer account based on deployed features, current configurations, and usage patterns to determine wave placement. There’s no application or sign-up process — SAP determines your placement and notifies you. You’ll receive a minimum 30-day advance notice before your migration date with your specific timeline and next steps.
SAP’s goal is for all customers to be migrated by end of 2026. If your organization uses Supply Chain Collaboration, your wave is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2026.
•The legacy platform will eventually be sunset. While the exact date hasn’t been announced, migration is mandatory for all customers.
•New capabilities — including AI agents and advanced analytics — are only available on the new platform. Accounts that haven’t migrated won’t have access.
•SAP Business Network on BTP is a prerequisite for any future upgrades to SAP Ariba Procurement Applications on BTP.
Log a ticket via SAP for Me and include: your currently scheduled migration dates, your reason for requesting a delay, and a proposed new timeframe within 2026. SAP will review and, where possible, accommodate.
Everything that matters. SAP handles the move.
SAP runs the upgrade in the background — there’s no reimplementation, no data loss, and no anticipated downtime. When your account migrates, the following carry over automatically:
Your SAP Ariba applications are on a separate migration timeline — but your integrations and configurations between SAP Business Network and SAP Ariba applications remain intact through the transition.
CIG requires specific preparation steps that must be completed before your migration date. A dedicated page maintained by the ISMG team has everything your IT team needs — current schedule by region, technical steps, and webcast recordings. Check that page directly and check back regularly as details are actively updated.

Identity Authentication Service (IAS) must be in place before your migration. If you’re unsure whether this applies to you, check with your SAP account team ahead of your scheduled wave.
Your interface has been updated. Here’s what to expect.
SAP Business Network has a new look on BTP — updated navigation, cleaner layout, faster load times. A series of short walkthrough videos covers every major area of the new buyer interface: homepage, supplier enablement, notifications, purchase orders, invoices, and more.

If your organization has built training guides or how-to materials for your suppliers, those will need to be refreshed for the new interface. The supplier video library covers the new supplier experience end-to-end and is ready to use as your foundation.

You can set up a test supplier account using walk-up self-registration to see the new experience before updating your materials. Whether your test account lands in the NextGen environment depends on the country you register from — SAP maintains a live list of supported countries that is actively expanding.

A new column in your Current Relationships view shows whether each supplier is still on the current platform or has already migrated to NextGen SAP Business Network. You can check it directly in the platform or pull it from your relationships report export.
For most buyers: validate, spot-check, and you’re done.

•If your organization uses CIG, flag endpoint re-establishment with your IT team now so they’re ready to move immediately after migration. — CIG migration page
•If your organization uses SCC, confirm IAS is in place. Contact your SAP account team if you’re unsure of your status.
SAP manages the migration entirely. There’s no form to submit, no migration window to manage, and no sign-off required before go-live. A few things are worth confirming once your account is live on BTP:
•Validate your priority transactional use cases are running correctly — purchase orders, invoices, and any business-critical workflows
•Check that your configurations and business rules carried over as expected
•Confirm your user access and notification settings are still in place
