About Fund Request Management


Fund requests are used to support MDF requests and SPA requests. MDF requests can be made so that a partner can have access to market development funds. SPA requests are requests from partners for price adjustments that are submitted for approval. Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management allows brand owners to approve or reject each request. Within the fund request, the relationship to an opportunity can be defined, if applicable. This definition allows a brand owner to review and understand the opportunity that the fund request supports.

Table 29 describes the fields that support the fund request requirements for Oracle CRM On Demand for Partner Relationship Management.
