If a supplier is using the BNP’s catalog, order or invoice solutions, there must be a connection created between the supplier and the customer. Connection establishes a business link where the customer orders can be sent to the supplier and equally a supplier can send catalogs, order responses and invoices to its customer.
Connection is only required if the supplier is using BNP free of charge solutions for catalogs, orders or invoices. Suppliers using Opus Capita integrated solutions or operator connections are not required to create connections.
You can manage connections with your trading partners in Company → Connections -section.
If you have a supplier-admin role, then Customer Connections page is shown. If you have a customer-admin role, then you can see the Supplier Connections page.
