MDF Request History Analytic Subject AreaAvailabilityThis subject area is available only in Oracle CRM On Demand Partner Relationship Management Edition. Business PurposeMarket Development Funds (MDF) provide the brand owner with the ability to make marketing funds available to partners in a systematic way, so that partners sell the brand owner’s products in specific geographical areas or market the brand. Through MDF Requests, partners request preapprovals of funding for marketing activities. When the brand owner approves the MDF request, partners can execute the activity and then submit an MDF claim to redeem the preapproved money that was spent. Brand owners require metrics and information about MDF requests for each partner and quarter so that they can align marketing and channel sales. The MDF Request Historical Analytics subject area gives brand owners the required information to control their MDF budgets and ensure that funds are allocated to activities that have the maximum return on investment.
