Register and Build Your Network


How do I register on SAP Product Stewardship Network?

There are two starting points for registration:
  • Either you have received an email invitation from a company already registered sent through SAP Product Stewardship Network containing a company-specific registration link or
  • You use this generic registration link.

The registration process is almost the same either way. Both the registration link in your email and the generic link will lead you to a web page asking you to provide the following data:
  • Username: can be chosen by you (case sensitive)
  • First name
  • Last name
  • E-mail address: make sure to use a valid email address. The system allows one registration per email adress.

After submitting your data, you will receive an activation email to validate your email address. Click on the activation link in this email. You will then be prompted to set a password. Make sure you continue this process because the activation link is valid for 2 hours only. After this period you need to use the "Forgot your password" process in the logon dialogue to receive a new activation link.

Good to know:
Please note that if you already have a user account at SAP, for example at SCN or SAP Service Marketplace (SMP), you may not be prompted to set a password. In this case, your SCN or SMP password is also valid for SAP Product Stewardship Network.

If you are responsible for more than one company, please register one account for each company. Please note that the system supports only one registration per email address. Therefore you need to use a different email address to register an additional company account.

Once you have set your password, you may be prompted to choose the scenario for which you want to register.

Then fill in your company profile, which includes:
  • Company name
  • Company address data
  • DUNS number (optional)
  • VAT number (optional)
Please tick the email digest box when you enter your company profile to receive emails from the system otherwise you will not be notified about any activities on the network.

Please note
  • Your company profile will be visible for other companies on the network
  • You can edit your company data at any time after registration

If you have registered based on an email invitation from a registered company directly through SAP Product Stewardship Network, you will be able to access the system immediately after completing your company profile and you will automatically be connected to the company that invited you.

If you have registered using a generic link, your account data will be validated by SAP. This validation may take up to 24 hours. After validation you will receive a confirmation email and have access to SAP Product Stewardship Network. You will have no pre-established connections on the network i.e. you will need to set up your customer/supplier connections manually.

Connect to you Customers

If you joined the network via the link in an invitation email from a customer, you are already connected to him.

To connect to other customers on the network, please go to All Companies in the Network work center. To find the companies you want to connect to you can use the search and filter function on the left side of the screen. To connect to a company, click on Actions in the same line as the company and choose the connection status you want to have with this company from the dropdown menu. You can also select all the companies you want to connect to by clicking into the empty box next to each supplier and clicking on Add as Customer in top left corner of the All Companies tab.

Connect With Your Suppliers

You can connect with your suppliers in two different ways:

1. You can upload and invite suppliers that are not on the network yet, by uploading a list of suppliers or by inviting single suppliers


a) To upload multiple suppliers, go to the Network work center and to My Suppliers. To upload a list of your suppliers from an Excel file, click on Upload Suppliers and download the template you will find in the pop-up window. (You can also upload your suppliers by clicking on Upload File in the Quick Activities on the left)


For each supplier you would like to upload to the network, fill in the mandatory fields, save the file and upload it to the system.

The following information has to be provided:

  • Company name
  • S for Supplier
  • Postal Code
  • City
  • Country
  • Contact Mail

Note: Companies that share one or more of the following are considered duplicates and will not be accepted during the upload:

  • DUNS number
  • VAT ID
  • Name, street, postal code, city, and country
  • E-Mail address

They will then be shown as uploaded under Pending Suppliers and can be invited individually or altogether (Professional Edition only) by using the Invite button next to each supplier or on the top of the list. The invitation E-Mail that you send to your suppliers includes a specific link for each supplier in order to make sure that they are connected to you when they register on PSN. This can also be sent when you invite your suppliers individually.

b) To invite suppliers one at a time, click on Invite Supplier under Connected Suppliers or on Invite Company in the Quick Activities on the left. You can then enter the required fields in the pop-up window and send the invitation mail to your supplier.

If a similar company is already registered on the PSN, you will be asked if you would like to connect to this company instead. If the proposed company is the supplier you wanted to invite, you can connect with him by clicking on it.

If the proposed company does not seem to be the company you wanted to connect to, you can click on Invite Anyway on the bottom right corner of the pop-up window.

2. You can connect to suppliers which are already on the network by choosing All Companies in the Network work center. To find the companies you want to connect to you can use the search and filter function on the left side of the screen. To connect to a company, click on Actions in the same line as the company and choose the connection status you want to have with this company from the dropdown menu. You can also select all the companies you want to connect to by clicking into the empty box next to each supplier and clicking on Add as Supplier in top left corner of the All Companiestab.

As a next step, we highly recommend you to also register on our Support Plattform, which is our main support channel and preferred way to communicate news. Content on our community is visible without registration. However, you need a registered account (independent of your account with SAP Product Stewardship Network) to create content (e.g. support requests).
