With the 2311 release, SAP Business Network introduced buyer announcements on the trading partner portal. This feature allows buyers to send timely announcements to their suppliers using modern, content authoring tool.
Announcements can be sent to supplier audiences segmented by specific criteria such as regions or sub-groups to streamline communications. Buyers can also publish announcements in multiple languages for different supplier groups.
Key Features include:
- Ability to select the audience - all suppliers, selected supplier groups or selected countries and regions
- Ability to add attachments to the announcement
- Ability to publish the same announcement in multiple languages
- Ability to preview the message in multiple languages
- Ability to see count of suppliers who have read the announcement out of the total number of suppliers who received it
For suppliers, they will see a notification with a count of new announcements when they log into the trading partner portal. They can filter by read and unread messages and browse through their notifications in an intuitive view.
