To enter your financial information, you’ll need to fill out question 9 of the Government of Canada’s questionnaire in SAP Business Network following the steps below.
The CRA business number of your organization will be required under question 9.4 once you select "yes" to question 9.1. This is a mandatory requirement to validate your CRA business number and complete your registration. If you have questions or need help filling out this information, contact the CanadaBuys Service Desk.
