1. 
   Register for Covisint
   

You will need to register for Covisint (Refer to 51.0) to access any internal Ford Systems and Websites. If you currently ship to Production under the same Supplier GSDB Code, you do not need to register separately for Service.

2. 
   Request Ford Supplier Portal Access
   

Ford Supplier Portal allows you to access the IMS2/DDL System and Websites. Once you have obtained your Covisint ID, you will need to request access to the Ford Supplier Portal (Refer to 52.0).

3. 
   Establish an EDI Mailbox
   

All suppliers must be EDI Complaint. For Suppliers utilizing ANSI X12 or EDIFACT (Refer to 21.0)

4. 
   Obtain A RACF ID
   

Request a new RACF ID (Refer to 2.1) or Request a service link for your Production RACF ID (Refer to 2.2). This applies to ALL suppliers shipping to North America.

5. 
   3270 Sub-Package Access
   

The 3270 Application is the IMS2/DDL System. DDL is designed to provide an effective, efficient communication link between the supply base and FCSD. Access is obtained through the Covisint Portal. You will need to request access to the 3270 just as you did Ford Supplier Portal.

6. 
   Attend DDL Training
   

Suppliers Must obtain a RACF ID (Refer to 2.0) PRIOR to DDL Training (Refer to 7.0) whether you attend online or in person.

7. 
   Service Packaging Access/IMS3
   

Once a RACF ID has been obtained, you must then obtain access to the Packaging Specification Database within IMS3. (Refer to 10.2)
