Customer Onboarding: Growth: Add POC to eBuy

Prev Next

When provisioning the eBuy connector in TechnoMile's Growth solution, TechnoMile requires a consolidated POC with login privileges for all SIN Task Orders to be brought into Growth. This requires customer eBuy admins to perform some actions in the eBuy portal. See eBuy-Contractor_jobaid.pdf (gsa.gov) for GSA's latest instructions and best practices document.

Step 1: Associate multiple contracts under a single login to eBuy

If your company has more than one contract with GSA, eBuy provides the ability to “associate” more than one contract to a single login to eBuy for all your contracts.

IMPORTANT:

    • In order to associate a contract, you must be a POC on the contract you want to associate.
    • Logging into an “associated” contract will only display RFQ opportunities for that specific contract. Only the master contract will display all of the associated contracts.
  1. Log in to your GSA eBuy account and select the appropriate master contract.
  2. Click on Profile and then Manage/Add Contracts to see a list of all contracts held by your company.
  3. Select all of the contracts that are pertinent for parsing into the TechnoMile Solution.

EXAMPLE: In the example screenshot, a user has “associated” three additional contracts under the contract GS-00-XXXXF. With this scenario, contract GS-00F-XXXXF is considered a “master” contract in eBuy for this user. Now, this user can login to eBuy, select contract GS-00-XXXXF, and then be able to view RFQ opportunities and submit/manage quotes under all four of the contracts.

Step 2: Add TechnoMile Address as a POC on all associated contracts

  1. Log in to your GSA eBuy account and select the appropriate master contract.
  2. Click on Profile and then Add a new POC to a Category.

  3. In the Add a new POC popup, add the TechnoMile eBuy e-mail provided by your Client Success Manager and assign SIN = 'All'.  The Name and Phone can be set to any value.

  4. Click Add and TechnoMile will receive an e-mail to validate the account and set a password.
  5. Scroll down through the Contract # on the profile screen to confirm that this POC has been added to all SINs and Contracts.
    If not, please repeat Step 3 for each Contract in the list.
  6. Once complete, TechnoMile will begin provisioning the eBuy Parser in your Growth instance.
