Supplier Migration Cockpit Solution
A specialized tool to simplify the ongoing transition of suppliers to SAP Business Network
Supplier Migration Process Overview
The success of an SAP Business Network(SBN) implementation is dependent on the number of suppliers we are able to onboard to the network and transact seamlessly. Our Supplier Migration Cockpit (SMC) makes migrating suppliers to SBN easy and allows them to transact in one platform from day one avoiding use of multiple systems.
Supplier Migration Cockpit helps the customers with the data migration of the following documents:
- Open Purchase Orders
- Goods Receipts
- Invoice Documents

Troubleshooting and resolving errors across both methods makes support more complex.
