Please note, the Cummins' Packaging team has updated the Packaging Data Sheet (PDS) template (now Revision 002). This new template incorporates several enhancements, including mandatory fields for critical information and reminder prompts.

You can download the new PDS template here and visit the Standards and Processes page on the Supplier Portal for more information.

Beginning December 9, 2019, Cummins requires that all newly created PDS templates follow this updated template for all PDS submissions to Cummins Sourcing Managers. When saving, please enable macros and save all files as Excel Macros Enabled Workbook XLSM.

We know our supplier partners may need to make arrangements to be compliant with this updated PDS template. In following the Cummins Values of Integrity and Teamwork, we recognize this fact and are happy to work with all suppliers to ensure a seamless transition.

These updates will improve our efforts to capture data correctly and increase approval frequency, and we thank you for your prompt attention to and partnership in this matter. For any questions, please contact your Cummins Sourcing Manager.
