Question

What is a Standard Account?

Answer

The Standard Account (previously known as Light Account) is a limited access option for using the SAP Business Network.

Standard Accounts allow you to respond to emailed orders using features that your customer requests, like order confirmations, ship notices, and invoices. If your customer supports it, you can also review the status of invoices and create non-PO invoices.

Standard Accounts grant you access to the Help Center and it's completely free to use. Standard Accounts also now support Ariba Pay functionality.
