There are two types of relationships on the SAP Business Network: A Sourcing Relationship and a Trading Relationship. Sourcing Relationships support supplier registration, sourcing events and contract negotiation. Trading Relationships support purchase orders, purchase order confirmations, ship notices, invoices and payments. Your business might only have a Sourcing Relationship, only have a Trading Relationship or both.

It is the Sourcing Relationship that enables a supplier to own the information they are sharing with a buyer and to be able to update that information, as needed, through the network.
