Supplier onboarding – SAP Business Network

As part of Billerud’s digital transformation program – Atlas, we are implementing a new business solution to harmonize processes and data across all sites. The solution will use SAP technology, including SAP Business Network, which is the platform for secure, digital collaboration with our suppliers.

Learn more about Project Atlas here.

Why are we making this change?

  • To simplify and standardize purchasing processes across all Billerud units.
  • To reduce manual work and errors by enabling digital transactions.
  • To provide real-time visibility and improve efficiency for both Billerud and our suppliers.

This change is a key step in building a future-proof supply chain that supports sustainability and operational excellence

Who needs to act now?

All suppliers delivering to our Gävle mill and Bomhus Energi AB are required to complete onboarding before 4 May 2026, when Gävle mill goes live with SAP Business Network. Other European mills will follow in a phased rollout through 2027.

This page provides guidance and resources to help you prepare and complete onboarding smoothly. Whether you are new to SAP Business Network or already familiar with it, we’ll support you every step of the way.

What will change for in-scope suppliers

From 4 May 2026, suppliers delivering to Gävle Mill and Bomhus Energi AB will start receiving electronic purchase orders and related transactions through SAP Business Network, including:

  • Electronic Purchase Orders (e-POs)
  • Order Confirmations
  • Advanced Shipping Notices
  • Goods Receipt
  • Service Entry Sheets
  • Catalogs & Request for Quotations (for selected pilot suppliers initially)

Please note: Invoice processing is not in scope for SAP Business Network, please find information on invoicing instructions here.
