FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ

What is a supply chain business network?

According to Gartner, “Multienterprise supply chain business networks support a
community of trading partners that need to work and communicate/collaborate on
business processes that extend across multiple enterprises, with an
end-to-end/shared focus.” SAP defines a business network as a comprehensive
many-to-many B2B collaboration platform where companies connect, transact, and
partner on shared processes and information.






What are the benefits for buyers participating in a business network?

When a buyer organization participates in a business network, it can leverage
its ERP investment by extending processes to trading partners outside the four
walls of its organization. A business network can help buyers strengthen trading
partner relationships, act to mitigate disruption and risk for supply chain
resiliency, and drive sustainability to meet organizational goals.






What are the benefits of supply chain visibility?

Supply chain visibility helps ensure resiliency to disruption by providing
transparency into supplier commitments to demand plans and critical inventory
levels managed by suppliers. Visibility enables better measurement of
sustainability metrics, carbon footprint, supplier diversity, and other ESG
initiatives by embedding sustainability into procurement processes, practices,
and policies. Better transparency into your supply chain across inventory,
capacity, and logistics can help assure supply, guarantee trading partner
compliance, and protect revenue and brand reputation.





What is a resilient supply chain?

Supply chain resilience is “the capacity of a supply chain to persist, adapt, or
transform in the face of change.” By leveraging a business network, you can
respond swiftly to disruptions or changes in demand and supply in collaboration
with your trading partners. 






What is a sustainable supply chain?

A sustainable supply chain is one that fully integrates ethical and
environmentally responsible practices into internal company-led processes, as
well as those practiced by trading partners. End-to-end supply chain
transparency is critical to ensure that sustainability initiatives extend from
raw material sourcing to last-mile logistics and includes processes such as
product returns, recycling, and material traceability.






What is SAP Business Network?

SAP Business Network is a portfolio of solutions that enables buyers to
collaborate with trading partners across direct, indirect, services procurement,
supply chain, logistics, and asset management.
