All Northern Tool order processing will be through their EDI Portal- http://portal.northerntool.com/

Check their EDI regularly for new orders. THEY WILL NOT EMAIL US TO SEND NEW PURCHASE ORDERS!

Here is a PO reference:

Acknowledge NT POs Before processing
- Vendor Portal EDI-> Acknowledge Portal EDI
Once acknowledged in NT, go to Purchase Orders to see any open POs (Home->Purchase Orders)
Once you select the new PO, you will create an Acctivate SO. All SOs will need this info from NT:
- PO#
- Ship-to Address
  - Customer name
  - Address (street address, city, state, ZIP)
  - Phone #
  - SKU# and amount purchased (DOUBLE CHECK PRICES)
Depending on the warehouse that the SKU will ship from, you will send that warehouse rep the packlist so they can ship the items. Wait until you receive a tracking number before continuing. All Small Parcel shipments will ship on NT's FedEx account: #219008945 unless specified otherwise.
- If fulfillable in CO, we process the shipment
- Lea Cords for MI (Fapco Inc)
- Regal's web portal (WA)
Once tracking is received, you will generate an ASN# for NT
- Vendor Portal EDI -> Drop Ship ASN -> Generate ASN (for that PO#)
- The ASN is the tracking number provided by the warehouse or us if we shipped it. ASNs will require the carrier, tracking number, and ship quantity
Once an ASN is generated, you will invoice the PO through NT, then in Acctivate
- Vendor Portal EDI -> Online Invoicing -> Select PO
  - Invoice # (our SO number)
  - Invoice Date (day of shipment)
  - Amount
  - Quantity Invoiced
