Install PPG EPO Transfer Customers



PLEASE DO THIS PROCEDURE IN THE ORDER GIVEN. Do not skip around.


ALSO, Do not give this procedure to the customer or anyone else outside the company since it has sensitive information on it.


  1. Email the customer the Electronic PO Transfer PPG doc and have them read it. The only new requirement is that they have AccuTerm or a 132-column terminal to display the new PO Status screen.


  1. Make an appointment with the customer to do the upgrade and load CURL on the server. CURL is setup differently then the other transfer programs. First, you need to remove what is currently in the CURL folder and download curl-x.x.x-win32-ssl.zip and OpenSSL.exe from our FTP site. Then unzip the new CURL file into TECH and double on the OpenSSl.exe and it will install certain files into Windows directory. Check the version of CURL with the following TCL command:


:!c:\TECH\CURL\CURL -V

curl 7.10.7 (win32) libcurl/7.10.7 OpenSSL/0.9.7b zlib/1.1.4

Protocols: ftp gopher telnet dict ldap http file https ftps

Features: SSL libz NTLM


  1. Log into PM and go to TCL and create the Q-Pointer for CURL:


U MD CURL

01 Q

02

03 C:\TECH\CURL


Then type SORT CURL at colon to test and see if the point can see the files.


  1. Setup the vendor using the PPG - Electronic PO Transfer doc. Before testing make sure to look over the settings, the Ship To Account # is usually the current PPG account. Make sure the customer understands the entire vendor entry setup.


  1. Ask the customer if they purchase 3M through PPG, if they do then run the same program to add the zeros in the vendor that is used for 3M EPO.


In TCL type, FILL.SRC.PART 3M PPG in order to fill the source part for all 3 and 4 digit part numbers with 5 digit parts.


Ex. 3M.988 source part will be 00988. 3M.1020 becomes 01020.


Usage at TCL: FILL.SRC.PART Mfr.Code Vendor.Code


Ex: FILL.SRC.PART 3M PPG

*Explain to the customer, any new 3M part#s will need to have the 5 digit number entered manually in the source part number field.


  1. Go into PO Entry and create PO and release it and bring back up and do <E> to send it and it should come back with “Successfully Received”. Show the customer the <V> option to View PO Status but for PPG right now it will only show “Successfully Received” message for right now.


  1. To take the customer live, you must change field 20 to: https://buyat.ppg.com/eCProcurement/PerfectionASPRouting.asp.
