Engineering Systems Capability
Application Basics
What is JDSN Supplier Profile?
Supplier Profile is a web application tool designed to provide a summary of a
Supplier's relationship with specific Deere Units.. Supplier Profile provides basic
company information.
What is Engineering Systems Capability?
The Engineering Systems Capability tool that is part of a Supplier's Profile allows
Supplier companies or John Deere employees to select the file format to view
drawings for a specified John Deere Unit and identify engineering capabilities.
Requirements for Using Engineering Systems Capability
Before Suppliers can access information from JDSN Supplier Profile / Engineering
Systems Capability, several requirements must be met:

The Supplier company must be authorized to access the JDSN Supplier
Profile application. John Deere makes the request for a Supplier company to
be authorized (John Deere Corporate Supplier Number). This is a John
Deere responsibility.

Before Supplier users can log into JDSN Supplier Profile, each user must
have a valid John Deere supplier userid and password.

A Supplier user must be added as a contact for their company in John
Deere's Supplier Profile application and have a valid email listed.

Before Suppliers can see any Part information or geometry, the John Deere
Buyer must associate the Supplier company with the Part. Suppliers can only
see the parts associated with their company.
Requesting a John Deere Userid
Supplier users can request a John Deere userid from the appropriate John Deere
representative. After the userid is approved, the Supplier user receives an email with
the assigned userid and temporary password.
