Business Package for Supplier 

Management Summary

The business package for suppliers provides your suppliers with a single point of access to data and transactions in the SAP Supplier Self-Services component (SAP SUS), thus integrating self-service capabilities as part of the end-to-end procurement process enabled by mySAP ERP.

Furthermore, you can use the Universal Worklist (UWL), the alerting functionality, and the reporting and analytics scope.

Business Value

Extending the capabilities of mySAP ERP to business partners, specifically to a company’s supplier base, is one of the logical next steps in the evolution of the mySAP ERP application. The introduction of functions allowing suppliers to access information and transactions brings self-service capabilities to mySAP ERP which allows companies to further streamline their processes and information exchange and thus to further capitalize on their investments.

Key Features:

• Service offering for the procurement organization to speed up the process of buying, shipping and invoicing through supplier collaboration
• Fast responsiveness to customer needs and more effective business interaction
• Establishment of long-term supplier relationships
• Integration of supplier department
• Extension of supply chain towards the supplier
• Supplier’s view of data (purchase order/invoice)
• No need for suppliers to have their own system
• Target group: small suppliers without own system
