How can I register for the SAP Business Network through a purchase order I received?

To register an account with the SAP Business Network through a purchase order, locate the email you received entitled Welcome to SAP Business Network and follow the steps below.

1. Locate the field To activate your account:
2. Copy the Temporary ID and Secure Code
3. Click Go to
4. Enter your Temporary ID and Secure Code in the corresponding fields

After entering this information, you can choose either Create New Account or Use Existing Account depending on which applies to you.

If you are new to the SAP Business Network (do not have a registered account) please click Create New Account and follow the directions to complete registration.

If you already have a registered account on the SAP Business Network, please click Use Existing Account. Please note that you must be the administrator or have the administrator's username and password to complete the following:

1. Enter the Username and Password associated with your existing account and click Login
2. Follow the directions on the next page, and you will take ownership of the trading relationship.
3. In your account, you will now see the purchase orders (PO) from your new customer in your Inbox.

Please note that this process cannot be used when you have an existing Enterprise account and the customer has invited you to a Standard account as they are incompatible. The reverse also applies (an existing Standard account and an invitation to an Enterprise account). In this case, please register a new account or ask the customer to re-invite you with the type of account which you already have registered.

If you are directed to a pop up suggesting there may already be an account that exists with your company name, please refer to Warning: "We have noticed that there may already be an SAP Business Network account registered by your company. Please review before you create a new account."
