based on the number of documents.
Transaction Fee
(Billed quarterly)
The transaction fee is a percentage of the value of
purchase orders or invoices exchanged, whichever
is greater.

for relationships without service sheets (3)
0.35% of transacted value
for relationships with service sheets (3)
Capped at $20,000 per customer relationship
Subscription Fee
(Billed annually)
The subscription fee is a set amount based on your
account level, determined by the number of annual
documents (1) you transact across all customer
relationships.

documents per year

5 to 24 documents
or <$250,000 (2)
Bronze $50
25 to 99 documents Silver $750
100 to 499 documents Gold $2,250
>500 documents Platinum $5,500
1. Only purchase orders (POs), invoices, and service
sheets are considered chargeable documents. All other
documents (order confirmations, ship notices, and
more) are excluded from the document volume count.
2. Suppliers transacting less than $250,000 annually are
automatically placed at the lowest annual fee level,
regardless of the number of documents transacted.
3. Service sheets are used to record services as they are
actually performed with reference to the specifications
from the PO. In general, you can enter an invoice for a
PO only after the service entry sheet has also been
accepted. Only accepted service sheets are charged.
Examples of total annual cost
• A supplier that exchanged 32 documents with a total
transaction value of $120,000 in a customer relationship
without service sheets is placed at the bronze level and pays
$236 per year ((120,000 * 0.155%) + 50).
• A supplier that exchanged 250 documents with a total
transaction value of $600,000 in a customer relationship
without service sheets is placed at the gold level and pays
$3,180 per year ((600,000 * 0.155%) + 2,250).
• A supplier that exchanged 80 documents with a total
transaction value of $250,000 in a customer relationship
including service sheets is placed at the silver level and pays
$1,625 per year ((250,000 * 0.35%) + 750).
• A supplier that exchanged three documents with a total
transaction value of $120,000 doesn’t pay any fees.
When your transaction value or document volume exceeds the free
threshold, you become a chargeable supplier and owe subscription fees.
Your first bill for SAP Business Network
When this occurs, SAP Business Network totals your historical monthly document counts across all customer
relationships, up to three months if available, and annualizes that amount to determine your subscription level for the
next year. The date your transactions first become chargeable is your anniversary date. Each year on that date, your
subscription level is reevaluated. This reevaluation is based on your total number of documents transacted during
the previous 12 months.
