What is the difference between Enterprise and Standard accounts?


Resolution

Suppliers using the SAP Business Network to transact purchase orders (POs) & invoices with you may have either an Enterprise or Standard account. This depends on how you send them POs and how the supplier chooses to register their account. Below is a chart that can help you understand the different functionalities a supplier has depending on their account type:
