From this point on the information included will be reviewing the excel upload process. Uploading to the website is for a select group and requires a Cummins password to access. If you would like more information on this process, please send an email to [email protected]. OEMs and dealers who will be working with a high volume of entries can setup an account utilizing a Cummins LDAP account
management.
FIGURE 6: Product Registration Excel Upload - Batch Entry
FIGURE 8 - Download excel template and instructions
Download the Excel template and read the instructions on the upload process. After selecting the file from the “Browse” button, select “Upload and Validate.” The data sender will be notified when the upload is complete and if any errors in the data have been found.
Click on “Save to Database”
Click “No” (FIGURE 9) and the invalid records will be purged Click “Yes” (FIGURE 9)
CAUTION: If “Save to Database” is not clicked before submitting another file, the previous file data will
be lost, as memory is cleared from the table if not saved.
FIGURE 10 - Open and Save Invalid Records
Click “Open” (FIGURE 10) and the Excel file opens in a new window Click “Save” (FIGURE 10) and the file will be saved
Click “Cancel” (FIGURE 10) and the invalid records will be purged
If there are records that the system cannot upload/process, the data sender will be given a link (FIGURE 10) to download a file with records that contain errors, enabling the sender to fix those issues immediately. This link will appear shortly on the product registration page below the table showing the records that successfully loaded (the larger files with errors will take a bit longer to process).
After product registration receives files through the website, records are processed through the system, once every 24 hours.
When this process is followed, the data submitted is validated on-screen (if the form is filled out correctly) with an email that requirements were fulfilled.
If data is not correctly uploaded, or corrected in a timely fashion, ESNs relating to
information that is missing or invalid will be communicated back to those responsible for Serialization Reporting later as items still needed to reach Cummins goal of 100%
The Cummins Distributor installer of the serialized emissions-related components is responsible for recording this information within the work order of the Business Management System (BMS).
5. Product Registration Template Tips
5.1 MACROS
Macros must be ENABLED in order for any upload of data to be complete. 5.2 File Format
File formats (unique Excel spreadsheet) are provided by CMI and must be used. The data file should have a header with OEM information (Name, Company, and Month).
CAUTION: Changing any part of the Excel sheet will create problems with the upload process
5.3 Zip Code
In the United States some regions have four digit zip codes. The template requires a five digit zip code in order for the cell to be valid when it is uploaded. If you enter a four digit zip code, please add a zero before it. If you are outside of the United States, please insert NA into the zip code cell.
5.4 State/Province, Country
All country and state/province listings should be abbreviated, use only the proper 2 letter alpha code (example: Ontario = ON, California = CA, United States = US)
5.5 Frequency
It is recommended, between the first and fifteenth day of each month, to compile data from the shipments in the previous calendar month.
5.6 Product Registration Agreement
Read the privacy agreement on the product registration website (which can be accessed from Cummins.com) regarding concerns about confidentiality.
5.7 OEM Requirements
A. Collect the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), Engine Serial Number (ESN), and aftertreatment assembly serial number combination (ATSN), at the time of vehicle or engine assembly.
B. OEMs/Distributors should submit data to CMI at least monthly.
– Cummins will provide a standard format to collect the data by means of either EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), or Product Registration/MS Excel Spreadsheet template.
5.8 Copy & Paste
Select “paste special” when pasting data from another source into the template. Be sure to only copy over the data as values only, excluding formatting from the source
6 . Recommendations for Reporting Serialization (Avoiding "Bad" Data)
A. The product registration template must be used or the data will be rejected/out-filed.
B. Do not change, alter sequence or add any columns to the Product Registration spreadsheet (as this will cause data records to outfile).
C. Do not change format of any fields in the Product Registration spreadsheet (Example: Do not change date format).
D. Do not bring other formats into Product Registration spreadsheet (Example: adding apostrophes in front of numbers to change #s to text)
E. For North America, all yellow fields are required in Product Registration and must have valid content (Do not put "NA" in fields or substitute that for real data). ATSN required only if the vehicle/chassis has Aftertreatment. If the
vehicle/chassis does not have Aftertreatment, leave this field blank – otherwise records will be rejected.
