Catalog Instructions & Templates |

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. The "Requirements" documents attached
will help you with specific instructions on completing the
spreadsheets. The program is intolerant of variances in the
format so it cannot be altered or the data will not upload. The
Instructions will explain how to complete the Templates. Once
finished please forward back to your Electronic Catalog data
contact in order for the data to be uploaded. Once you have read
this information thoroughly, if there are any questions please
utilize the appropriate Electronic catalog data contact |
