Channel Partner Inventory Tracking

Get greater visibility into your channel partner inventory. Effectively track the inventory based on sales to partners and resale from partners to end-customers. Enhance downstream processes such as ship and debit claim processing and price protection. Calculate the partner inventory in the channel by leveraging partner point of sales and sales data.

• Set Up Channel Partner Inventory Tracking
  Set up and configure the Channel Partner Inventory Tracking features to enhance downstream processes with better visibility into calculated partner inventory. Assign the permissions for Channel Partner Inventory Tracking to users who want to get inventory traceability through ledgers.
• Manage Channel Partner Inventory Tracking
  Manage partner inventory visibility through partner unsold inventory. Protect channel partners from price fluctuations by tracking unsold inventory and utilizing price protection capabilities. Validate partner claims using the ship and debit functionality and point-of-sale documents.
• Reconcile Partner Unsold Inventory and Partner Reported Inventory
  Track, process, and reconcile partner-reported inventory to ensure accurate inventory visibility. Use Partner Staged Data to capture inventory, and run data processing engine (DPE) definitions to generate and update reconciliation records based on reported and unsold inventory.
• Create Transaction Journals For Point of Sale Data
  Partners can upload Point of Sale documents by using the Manufacturing Experience Cloud site. These documents contain data related to sales made by the partners. This data is used to create transaction journals.
• Data Processing Engine Templates with Channel Partner Inventory Tracking
  Channel Partner Inventory Tracking has Data Processing Engine (DPE) templates that you can clone and customize. The templates help you to create partner unsold inventory records. Examples of processes are: converting sale and point of sale data into transaction journal records, validating price protection and ship-and-debit transactions, and calculating unsold inventory with partners.
• Process Partner and Point-of-Sale Return Transactions
  Capture and validate return transactions reported by partners—whether initiated by end customers or through direct partner returns. Automate inventory updates and ledger adjustments using data processing engines (DPEs) to streamline reconciliation and maintain accurate unsold inventory records.
