in a dropdown list for you to pick when creating a new package plan

Once registration is complete, the system will take you directly to the “Package Planning Dashboard”The Package Planning Dashboard is the one stop shop for submitting all package plans to reviewing historical data
All data can be exported in CSV or Excel format
Filtering options are common for suppliers and Mopar users (i.e. Part Type Code is utilized by the Mopar Packaging Engineers)
The “Share” function allows users to share their filter via email or a simple link
“In Progress” - user has created a package plan with the minimal information
“Submitted” - user has submitted a package plan to Mopar for approval
“Approved” - Mopar has approved the user’s package plan and corresponding costs have been sent to SAP to be added to the contract header
“Rejected” - Mopar has disapproved the user’s package plan; user must fix issues and re-submit
“Canceled” - Package plan is no longer active
MPPS Training
To create a new package plan (aka completing all packaging specifications and cost for at least one part number), click on the button and complete all

Users are able to navigate through all sections prior to savingCertain sections will not function without minimal information (i.e. Packaging Method must be determined for Primary Container Info section)
If the supplier code needed isn’t listed, click on the “Add a
new supplier code” and complete all required fields
then hit submit
MPPS Training
To navigate through the system (aka Create Package Plan Wizard), click the next button or click directly on the section tab(s)
Complete all required fields in all sections
Minimal information to save is identified with one asterisk “*”
By saving and not submitting, users place the package plan into “In Progress” status
Minimal information to save and submit are identified with two asterisks “**”
MPPS Training
MAJOR CHANGE: Multiple parts can be submitted together creating a “set”As long as all part and packaging characteristics are identical, there is no limit to the number of parts submitted in the setIf the part number you are submitting is not included in the drop down, click on “Add a new part number” and complete all required information
•MAJOR CHANGE: Suppliers are now required to fill in the “Part Noun” and “Part Description”
MPPS Training
MAJOR CHANGE: Users add contacts to the packaging planAll contacts included in the packaging plan can receive email notifications when the package plan’s status changes (if user selects the email option checkbox)If the added contact is not included in the drop down, click on “Invite a new contact”
•Once the new contact invite is submitted, an email notification will be sent to the new user to set up their profile in the system
MPPS Training
“Additional Info” is the last section Users can add any additional information (i.e. invoices) needed for reviewOnce all required information (**) is complete, user can save and submit
•A prompt will come up asking user if they want to submit and a checkbox whether or not they want a status change email to go out to all of the contacts associated with this plan (defaults to being checked)•After user selects “Yes. Submit”, another prompt will indicate that the package plan has been updated correctly
MPPS Training
Each part number submitted and each part number submitted within a set will be included on the grid There is a small indicator that will list all corresponding parts within the set (if applicable)
Mopar is able to approve/disapprove all parts within the set or break the set and approve/disapprove separately if necessary
MPPS Training
When users are editing the package plan, the same information and requirements are needed prior to saving and submitting
Minimal information to save is identified with one asterisk “*”
By saving and not submitting, users place the package plan into “In Progress” status
Minimal information to save and submit are identified with two asterisk “**”
Once Package Plans are in “In Progress” status, users can utilize the edit functionality, which bypasses the Package Plan Wizard, and consolidates all sections into one page
MPPS Training
A system generated email will be sent to the users once Mopar approves or rejects the package plan(s) There is a hyperlink in the email that will take the user(s) to the package plan if changes are needed
If package plan is part of a set, the changes made by the user will impact all package plans
MPPS Training
All approved packaging costs will be sent to the contract header provided in the package planCurrent process remains the same - supplier provided data is validated through a set of systematic checks that confirm the following relationships:
Part number
Contract number
Currency
198 costs
Any mismatch in the data points above will result in the approved cost NOT being added to the contract header, and the approved MPPS package plan will be reopened and sent back as rejected for needed corrections
If the contract UoM (unit of measurement) is in TS (thousands) or HU (hundreds), the MPPS approved packaging cost will be converted and placed on the contact at the converted price
MPPS is being launched with the minimal requirements to replace the temporary Excel approval process
Enhancements will be made based on priority
Please direct all questions, concerns and enhancement requests to [email protected] with the subject line “MPPS”
COMING SOON: Voice-over training and group training sections - date TBD
