# How to change accepting mode from auto to manual for Trade Relationship request

## Symptom

How to change accepting mode from auto to manual for Trade Relationship request

## Environment

SAP Business Network

## Resolution

A trading relationship will be required to transact with your customer on both Enterprise and Standard Accounts.

If you would like current or future trading relationships to be Automatically accepted, please ensure that this preference is turned on at the top of the page.  
  
To set your account to manually review all relationships, follow these steps:

1. Click on **Account Settings** on the right, select **Settings**, then **Customer Relationships**.
2. Find **ON/OFF** radio button (option button) for **Automatically accept all relationship requests**.
3. Click on **ON**, to set it as **OFF**.
4. All future relationships will need to be reviewed and will wait in the **Pending Requests** section of your account.

If you prefer auto-accepting mode, then you can change the setting with the button back to manually review all relationship requests.

Default setting is **Automatically accept all relationship requests: ON**.
