Reviewing Account Catalogs (End User)

Account catalogs contain detailed information about the categories and products your company has made available to be ordered by a specific account.

If you are an account manager with responsibility for creating quotes and orders, you will find account catalogs to be a valuable resource in providing information about the products that are available. You can review catalogs in preparation for a visit or telephone call with an account's buyer. If you use the Siebel Consumer Goods application on a laptop computer, you can display the catalogs as you meet with buyers, allowing them to view prices and other critical information about your company's products for upcoming seasons.

This task is a step in Process of Managing Product Distribution.
