To ensure that all necessary information is provided for customers to begin trading EDI transactions with Procter & Gamble, please go through the following with the appropriate resources with your customer (typically, these resources would include the buyers and the EDI technical resources). It may be helpful to have a CTSM complete this portion of the assessment. NO START-UP WORK (e.g., trading partner information) CAN BE COMPLETED UNTIL ALL NON-OPTIONAL QUESTIONS ARE MARKED "YES." Any "No" answers for REQUIRED questions will prevent development of an EDI partnership until resolved. Once this checklist is received, a Procter & Gamble EDI Coordinator will contact you to exchange trading partner information.
