BHP requires suppliers to use the Standard account as a minimum requirement. This account relies on transacting from emails whereas the Enterprise account has an Inbox/Outbox and all transactions can be completed within the Ariba Network.
Larger volume suppliers should consider the added functionality of an Enterprise account that is available for a maximum capped fee per annum.
