QuickValue Network is Compera’s package to implement SAP Business Network. SAP Business Network is the supplier portal for SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA customers—enabling them to seamlessly connect to the world’s largest digital business network. Once connected, customers can send purchase orders, order confirmations, shipping notices, goods receipts, invoices, payment status, and more across the digital network. 

The SAP Business Network is a global solution, supporting buyers and suppliers in 190+ countries, available in many languages and providing regulatory consistent transactions across many markets.

SAP S/4HANA and SAP ECC are great digital core solutions to streamline internal processes. But if we look beyond the SAP ERP system, how do buyers interact with their suppliers? Most buyers still have a lot of paper/manual transactions with their suppliers from purchase order through invoicing. SAP Business Network provides seamless integration to extend the SAP ERP purchasing process over the cloud to the world’s largest supplier network.
