E-procurement User id Creation
The eproc userid will be created by Tata Steel and that will be sent to the vendor with user id and
password along with some other information like site address and Tata Steel purchase business policy.
The mail content will be like
Dear Friend,
CONGRATULATION!!!
You have been allotted User id and Password for accessing Tata Steel E-Procurement site.
This E Initiative was taken up by Tata Steel couple of years back and both we and as well as others who are already
our E partners, have started getting tremendous benefits of the same and there is no looking back on the same. This is
a WIN-WIN situation for both of us. As a step forward, this additional initiative is being taken with immediate effect.
Now we are pleased to inform you that you have become our E-Procurement Partner. Welcome and join the E partners
club of vendors at TATA Steel. There are many other advantages you shall get from this. However all these shall be
communicated to you at the appropriate time by us.
Your Vendor Code : I063 Your Name of the Organization: I.M.S & SUM HOSPITAL Your User-ID : testvend Your
password : test (FOR SECURITY REASON, PLEASE CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD AFTER FIRST LOGIN. PLEASE
NEVER DISCLOSE YOUR PASSWORD TO ANYONE AT TATA STEEL).
A detailed manual has been hosted in the homepage of e-procurement site to assist you for operating the site.
We expect the following from you and would request you to make a serious note of the following: 1. All quotations
against RFQs must be submitted through this site only. We are making necessary changes in the computer program
that once we make you as an E Partner, we shall not accept fax/Email or manual quotations from you and shall be
totally ignored. These are very clear management guidelines. 2. Information on Imminent delivery must be filled by
10th of every month and are also making necessary computer program changes as mandatory for all order/ delivery
orders. 3. You must access your site on a daily basis. System shall also trigger an E Mail to that effect. 4. Please and we
repeat, please do not make this system person dependent. In such a case, there is every likelihood that you may loose
on a valuable business because of the person dependant person not being there.
Pl. logon to www.tatasteel.co.in and start using the site. In case of any problem on site, please refer to the FAQ on the
E Procurement site . Thanking you and wishing you a very happy E Procurement Partnering........

instead of getting the latest data. To avoid this, remove these files from memory. To do this:
A. Go to Internet Explorer Menu bar - Tools - Internet Options - Temporary Internet Files - Delete
Files.
This will delete the old files stored in memory and get the latest data.
Delete cached filed for the memory from time to time (once a week)
B. Go to Internet Explorer Menu bar - Tools - Internet Options - Temporary Internet Files –
Settings
Under Check for Newer Version of Stored Pages, select "Every Visit to the page".
76
Do’s & Don’t for the Supplier’s
Related to Site not opening:
1.
Check that Internet Connection is up.
2.

simultaneously as described earlier. If one of these don't open, try with the other address.
