Begin e-Transacting with PPL

GEP's Supplier Portal makes it easy to
e-transact with PPL

1. Supplier clicks the GEP logo on the Supplier e-Commerce with PPL Website for PPL Supplier e-Commerce Enablement to complete  registration with GEP including their Supplier Profile. Registering with GEP also enables supplier, if qualified, to electronically receive and respond to PPL RFQs through the GEP Supplier Portal.  Supplier has the option to use the GEP Supplier Portal or integrate to GEP.
   
   
   There are no fees to use GEP’s Supplier Portal and only a small one-time connection fee for the integration option.
   
   
2. GEP verifies supplier set up on GEP Supplier Portal for RFQ, purchase order and invoice processing and need for training.
   
   
3. PPL sends an RFQ or purchase order to GEP.
   
   
4. GEP posts the RFQ or purchase order to the GEP Supplier Portal.
   
   
5. GEP sends an e-mail to supplier, which includes a link to the Supplier Portal.
   
   
6. Supplier accesses the RFQ or PO on GEP Supplier Portal.
   
   
7. Supplier submits a bid or acknowledges and processes the PO.
   
   
8. When the order is shipped, supplier logs onto GEP Supplier Portal and “flips” the PO to an invoice and electronically sends it to PPL.
   
   
9. Contractors and Service providers who have registered with GEP can use the “flip” process on the GEP Supplier Portal for progress invoicing on a Service Order (SO).
   
   
10. PPL processes invoice and sends payment to supplier by check or at supplier’s option, electronic funds transfer (EFT).
