Setting Up Special Price Agreement Programs

Special Price Agreements enable you to manage special price requests from partners to support competitive sales deals, specific end-customer deals, and to clear existing inventory in the partner's warehouse.

Delivered program templates represent supported channel business processes. The purpose of a program type is to model the enterprise’s channel business requirements by configuring features of a program type based on a program template. For example, you could configure the special price agreement program type to decide on the type of request to use, or decide on when the liability should accrue.

The program type controls and simplifies the special price agreement program creation. When a program manager creates a special price agreement program, the identification of a program type is required and this drives how the program is created, applied, and processed.
