Process Flow

The deal condition is integrated into the DSD process as follows:

...

       1.      You enter the DSD-specific master data for a deal condition in the back end.

       2.      You create a delivery and shipment based on a sales order.

       3.      The system transfers the data on the deal condition together with the tour data.

The system transfers all deal conditions that are valid for a customer on the day of the tour to the mobile device.

Note that if you want to give free goods discounts, the vehicle must be loaded with the relevant materials.

       4.      The driver starts his or her tour as part of the DSD process.

       5.      The mobile device takes account of all active deal conditions for invoicing.

Depending on the system settings for the deal condition, either the mobile device automatically takes account of an active deal condition for invoicing, or the driver can activate or deactivate the deal condition manually.

       6.      The driver completes the tour and returns to the distribution center.

       7.      You transfer the tour data to the system (back end), including the results of the deal condition.

       8.      You complete the tour in the back end with the final settlement run. The back-end system includes the deal condition data in the final settlement run.
