Start with the right trading account

Each dealer belongs to the legal entity doing business with them. Billing identity, ordering contacts and delivery sites serve different purposes, while the account’s terms, price list and credit limit establish the commercial starting point.

A contact record does not create an application login. Account activation follows the required commercial and financial review, and a hold stays visible to the people preparing the next order. Sharing a customer name across companies cannot merge their receivables or authority.

  • Keep the bill-to identity separate from the delivery contact.
  • Use the applicable entity and currency for every offer.
  • Retain the reviewed payment terms and credit basis.
  • Resolve inactive contacts or changed addresses before fulfilment.

Price the offer on a clear unit basis

Dealer pricing uses effective price-list versions and the selected product pack or unit. Within the selected list, the eligible quantity tier determines its price. Ambiguous equally eligible lists require resolution rather than an arbitrary choice.

The quote freezes its conversion, currency, line discounts and allocated header discount. The resulting net amount is the amount carried into accepted scope; a disclosed discount is not deducted again when the order is created.

Commercial fact What stays with the accepted offer
Pack or selling unit The exact product-specific base conversion
Price and quantity tier The selected effective list and unit basis
Discount Its bounded line or header allocation
Tax treatment The applicable reviewed basis and evidence

A later price-list or pack change cannot reprice an accepted order. Missing required tax evidence blocks release, while an unknown cost leaves margin unavailable instead of presenting a zero cost as a profitable sale. Explicit exempt or zero-price treatment needs its configured evidence.

Sales & dealer orders →

Turn agreement into a reviewed order

Sales Representative prepares the order from the dealer’s accepted offer or other retained acceptance evidence. The order captures the exact quantities, net amounts, terms, ship-to details and the point at which title transfers.

An independent Sales Manager approves every order. The reviewer checks the current revision and actual commercial agreement, excluding its preparer and material editors. A customer response alone cannot replace that internal approval, and another role on the same person does not create independence.

The quote’s expiry and actual send evidence remain separate. Preparing an outbound message does not establish that the dealer received it, and acceptance of a superseded offer cannot authorize a different current order.

Keep credit decisions current

The credit review includes open receivables and approved uninvoiced commitments, with shipped but unbilled value counted once. It converts exposure on the retained rate basis and checks the proposed increase against the dealer’s finite limit.

An independent Finance Manager decides a required credit exception within its stated amount, currency and expiry. Sales Manager still owns order approval. New exposure or a changed limit can make an earlier review stale; separate concurrent orders cannot each spend the same remaining credit capacity.

Invoicing moves the relevant commitment into receivables instead of retaining both as separate exposure. Cash or credit affects that calculation only through its eligible, attributed financial treatment.

Follow each partial fulfilment

Accepted order quantities and net amounts remain the limit for shipment and billing allocations. Each partial shipment retains its line and source identity. Cancellation releases only the unfulfilled portion through the reviewed change path, preserving already executed work.

The original full-delivery promise stays available alongside any accepted reschedule. Progress can therefore show what was promised, what actually went out and what remains, without making a late order appear on time by changing its date.

Delivery planning works from this same accepted scope. For dispatch terms, actual handover is the title event. For delivery terms, dispatched goods remain owned in transit until the accepted delivered portion transfers title. Planned routes do not establish either event.

Connect fulfilment to the invoice

Billing consumes only eligible title-transferred, unbilled source quantities and their accepted net allocation. The independent Finance Manager invoice approval checks that actual basis before release. Partial deliveries cannot each invoice the whole order, and a repeated event cannot claim the same scope again.

Returns and financial corrections retain their original order and allocation links. Operational fulfilment, customer credit and cash settlement remain individually traceable, so a change to one status cannot silently resolve all three.

My Quotes Due keeps current quotation follow-up visible. Sales Orders Awaiting Approval directs eligible reviewers to the exact submitted version.

Dealer Margin

Posted net revenue/credits against associated title-issue/return cost for the same scoped quantities, by entity/dealer/product; unpriced/unbilled and partial-return cohorts disclosed, zero revenue gives unavailable margin percentage, not zero margin.
