Creating a business account

To create a business account, use the Business Relationship Management tools in WebSphere Commerce Accelerator. The seller administrator creates a buyer organization using the Organization Administration Console before a new business account can be created. Ensure that at least one person associated with the buyer organization is a registered customer (a contact at the buyer organization is required).

Before you begin

1. Ensure that the Organization Participant role is assigned to the organization for which you are creating the account.
2. Ensure that the buyer organization that was created is a member of the Registered Customers. Add the buyer organization if required.

Procedure

1. Open the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.
2. Click Sales > Accounts. The Account List page displays, containing business accounts currently defined for the selected store. If you do not see this menu, then your logon ID does not have the appropriate authority to perform this task. Contact your Site Administrator.
3. Click New. The Account notebook displays.
4. Complete the fields for each page as required, and use the links on the left side to switch between pages.
5. Click OK to save the business account and close the notebook. The business account is displayed in the Account List page.
