Setting up a Trading Relationship with NUS
1. NUS can establish the trading relationship with you if you have a Standard account and your Relationship Acceptance setting is enabled for automatic acceptance.
2. Alternatively, the trading relationship can be established through your first NUS Purchase Order (PO). To do so, open the interactive PO email, click the “Process Order” link, and log in to your SAP Ariba account. This will establish the Trading Relationship Request (TRR) between your account and NUS.
3. If your account is configured to manually review and accept incoming relationship requests, the TRR will remain pending until it is accepted by an administrator. To accept the request, the administrator should go to: Settings > Customer Relationships > Pending > Accept.
4. Once accepted, NUS will appear under Current Relationships.
5. If you are a Singapore-registered supplier, please ensure that your GST status has been set up before submitting e-invoices in SAP Ariba.
