Standard Accounts:
- Free to create and use.
- Support unlimited transactions.
- Do not support Supply Chain Collaboration (SCC) or CXML/B2B integrations.

that account.
Enterprise Accounts:
- Are paid accounts (billed directly by SAP).
- Are required for advanced collaboration features (see next question for more
detail).
Find more information on Enterprise Accounts here
GF requires an Enterprise Account if you’re using any of the following processes:
- Inventory
- Consignment
- Repair/refurb/cleaning
- Scheduling agreements
In these cases, your SAP relationship will be marked as Buyer Funded, and you will not
be billed by SAP for any business conducted with GF within that account/ANID.
If you’re not sure if your account is marked as Buyer Funded, please contact:
[email protected].
You have two options:
- Create a new ANID: this keeps your existing relationships on the Standard Account and avoids charges for pre-existing relationships.
- Upgrade your existing account to Enterprise: You will not be billed by SAP for that relationship with GF (Buyer Funded) and you will only be charged by SAP for other relationships you maintain on that account.
Only administrators can update your overall company account, including name, address,
and certifications.

- If you have multiple bank accounts, it’s important to provide your remittance ID so GF can accurately pay the correct amount. This is a GF-issued ID created during registration. If you don’t know your remittance ID, please email: [email protected].
- If you only have one bank account, you may leave the remittance ID field blank.
