We are excited to let you know that we’ve chosen RISE with SAP to accelerate our journey to the cloud and work more closely with SAP.

RISE with SAP is a cloud-focused offering from SAP designed to help businesses migrate to the cloud and modernize their ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems. RISE with SAP ensures an enhanced experience in your digital transformation, and improves how we operate and better support you as our suppliers.

The migration will trigger a scheduled, temporary system outage. 

What does this mean?
SAP Business Network will be temporarily unavailable from Friday, May 9th at 6:00pm ET to Monday, May 12th at 2:01pm ET. Please note that during the system outage, you will not be able to submit any invoices, so we encourage you plan accordingly.

SAP Business Network is a comprehensive B2B collaboration platform connecting people, processes and systems across multiple enterprises to digitise transactions and create transparent, and sustainable supply chains.

SAP Business Network offers a better way to collaborate digitally with Kyndryl – and your other trading partners.

Conducting business on the SAP Business Network is required – and your Purchase Orders, invoices, acknowledgments and Advanced Ship Notices (ASNs) will be transmitted via this platform.

For assistance with your organization's set-up on SAP Business Network, please contact SAP Ariba Help Centre.

Additionally, you find Kyndryl specific information for you as a supplier via SAP Ariba’s Kyndryl Supplier Information Portal.

What do I do if I have been billed by SAP for SAP Business network charges?
You must engage SAP Ariba Billing and advise that your SAP Business Network account for Kyndryl transactions needs to be changed to buyer paid. SAP Ariba will manage the process. Contact Ariba Billing here.

Where do I find resources for suppliers?
Please visit Kyndryl Supplier Information Portal.

Who do we contact for invoice related queries?
Please contact the Kyndryl Supplier Enablement team via SupplierEnablement@kyndryl.com. They will make sure your query is forwarded to the appropriate team.
