      Moving a Trading Partner into Production

      When you are certain you have completed all of the conditions listed for implementation listed above, follow these steps to move the trading partner into production:

      1. In the Heading of the Customer Details page, click Move to Production.

      4. Click Submit.

      5. Check your inbox for an auto-generated email that is sent out to everyone involved with this trading partner, including the Implementation contact list, the Buyer list, the Inside Sales representative, Business representative, the Implementer, and Customer Service.
