How do I establish a trading relationship with a buyer?

Provide the buyer with your SAP Business Network ID (ANID) number and ask them to send you a trading relationship request.

Once the request is sent, you can access and accept it. Follow these instructions:

1. In the upper-right corner of the application, click [user initials] > Settings > Customer Relationships.
2. Navigate to the Pending Requests tab.
3. Check the box to the left of the customer and click Accept.

You will not be able to invoice a customer or complete any other related actions until you establish a trading relationship with them.

Prior to establishing a trading relationship on the SAP Business Network, SAP cannot provide customer contact details.

Please note that only your buyer has the capability to send a trading a relationship request to your account.
