The State System transacts with suppliers through the SAP Ariba Business Network (“SBN”) to electronically exchange purchase orders, order confirmations, advanced shipping notices, invoices, and payment status for all purchases – direct goods, indirect goods, and services. The State System requires all suppliers to be enabled on the SBN to submit electronic invoices to the State System through the SBN. Unless otherwise provided in this RFP, or by the State System in writing, the offeror agrees to conduct business transactions with the State System using the SBN. Offerors are required to understand how to use the SBN and are responsible for any additional costs that the offeror chooses to incur. There is no cost to transact using a SBN Standard Account. Additional fees may be incurred using a SBN Enterprise Account.
