# What are the Enterprise Account levels and advantages of subscription fees?

## Symptom

What are the Enterprise Account levels and advantages of subscription fees?

## Resolution

The service is paid as per the [Terms of Use](https://service.ariba.com/Authenticator.aw/ad/termsCenter?tou=supplier) signed via a click through agreement during registration. We designed SAP Business Network to determine the subscription level automatically, based on the transactions and number of documents for all Enterprise accounts.

Your Enterprise account becomes chargeable after you transact:

- 5 documents (purchase orders, invoices, service entry sheets, and service entry sheet responses) &
- $50,000 USD with any customer.

Once you pass both of these thresholds with at least one relationship, your account will be placed into a subscription package based on the total number of documents transacted in a year, and you will start to receive quarterly invoices. Once one relationship is chargeable, all relationships will be chargeable. Year 1 will only look at the last 3 months and annualize the count.

Obsoleted POs, previous versions of POs, Rejected invoices and Rejected Service Entry Sheets are not included in the annual document count.

The Supplier Fee Schedule allows suppliers to participate at a level that is best aligned with their transaction frequency and volume on the SAP Business Network. Suppliers using the SAP Business Network frequently receive benefits based on their transaction volume, while less active users can take advantage of a more streamlined set of features.

Below you will see our different subscription levels and fees:

| **Subscription Level** | **Annual document count threshold** | **Annual subscription fee** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Premium | Up to 4 documents | No cost |
| Bronze | 5 to 24 documents or \< USD 250,000 | 50.00 USD |
| Silver | 25 to 99 documents | 750.00 USD |
| Gold | 100 to 499 documents | 2,250.00 USD |
| Platinum | 500 or more documents | 5,500.00 USD |

The Enterprise account on the SAP Business Network is designed to simplify your business transactions across the selling, invoicing, and payments processes. With an Enterprise account, you can take advantage of advanced features such as dedicated inboxes, reporting, free responses to leads, and direct integration to your ERP. You also benefit from advanced support, including dedicated assistance for publishing catalogs. Leading suppliers worldwide have chosen this enterprise account to become more efficient, improve customer experience, and grow their business.
