How do I change the default system ID on my Business Network account?

You can change the default system ID on your Business Network account by renaming your current default system ID using these steps:

1. Sign in to your Business Network buyer account.
2. In the upper right corner, click [user initials] > Manage Profile.
3. Click Business Application IDs and End Points(cXML and OData Setup).
4. For the system ID with the value Yes under the Default column, click on the [System ID name].
5. Next to the system ID name, click Edit.
6. Change the System ID value and click Save.

After you change the system ID name, you may also need to update the end points and other system IDs to match the configuration needed.

If you prefer not to change the system ID name using the above steps, then you can open a case with support to request the default system ID indicator be changed for you. The case must be opened by the account administrator or a Designated Support Contact (DSC) for your company.

Before making this change, ensure that all documents received on the Business Network include a system ID and that the associated supplier has a valid vendor compound key with the system ID. If this information is not configured and you send one of the below document types without a system ID for an existing supplier, the Business Network will create duplicate suppliers because all previous data for that supplier is associated with the previous default system ID. After the change, the Business Network will consider the new default system ID for the following document types that do not include a system ID in the cXML:

• Purchase order (PO)
• ICS invoice
• Carbon Copy (CC) invoice
• Payment proposal
• Request for quotation (RFQ)
