PLEASE READ THOUROUGHLY:
The Electronic Catalog is simply a program available to Lowe's Sales Associates with which he/she can use the model number to seed an order with correct order information as opposed to requesting the information and typing it. The tool makes it simple and easy for the employee to process the sale and ensures accurate communication between our stores and vendors. There are no questions about cost, product specification, or delivery. The easier we make it for the stores the more they will sell your product. Lowe's is in the process of setting up Special Order EDI and the first requirement is that the vendor be set up in the Electronic Catalog via the PCM process.

PCM
Model additions and model data changes are now done through the PCM process. Cost information will continue to be loaded through the spreadsheet process until that too is activated in PCM.

New Vendors should register at http://lowespcm.nfpondemand.com and two other useful links are:

http://1sync.org/lowes.html
http://www.loweslink.com/product_information.htm

For each model that needs to be added to the eCatalog, the vendor will need to supply the MA with the corresponding GTIN. Then MA will subscribe to the GTINs within PCM. From there, the vendor will have to publish us the data (which means they will have to have the data in the global registry). Once the data is published to Lowe's and the MA approves the data in PCM, then the vendor will need to submit the eCat cost spreadsheet. For now, continue to send only Model deletions or Cost information to the eCatUpload@Lowes.com mailbox for loading.
