Business Details
This feature introduces a new cloud platform for SAP Business Network, a new and simplified user interface to manage supplier groups on SAP Business Network. Previously, buyers had to switch between multiple screens to manage supplier groups. The updated interface now consolidates these actions into a single workflow, enabling users to create a supplier group and assign suppliers within the same screen.
Note
You can only view active suppliers in NextGen supplier groups. Expired suppliers from the previous user interface were not migrated and will not appear in NextGen supplier groups.
On the enhanced Supplier Group page, you can perform these tasks:
- Click the Active groups tab to view the list of active suppliers
- Click the Inactive groups tab to view the list of deactivated suppliers
- Create a supplier group
- Edit Supplier Group
- Edit the Name and Description fields
- Add one or more suppliers to a supplier group
- Remove one or more suppliers from a supplier group
- Deactivate a supplier group
- Reactivate a supplier group
Changes to the User Interface
- A new Supplier Group page is added under the Supplier Enablement option.
- This feature removes Assign Supplier Group and Remove from Supplier Group options from the Active Relationships page. You can assign and remove members from a supplier group only via the NextGen Supplier Group page.
- A new Transactional Settings button has been added to the top of the Supplier Group main page, allowing users to navigate to the legacy Supplier Group page in a separate tab.
