Introduction

The Special Bid Order special bid is used when a Manufacturer provides a Special Bid (i.e. Special Bid Price for certain products under (Special Terms and Conditions) for Specific End-User(s). A Special Bid Order special bid is used in the IT Business vertical markets. Manufacturers/Vendors like i.e. HP have special agreements (contracts) with Specific End-Users (i.e. ‘Shell’). The Manufacturer/Vendor makes use of their Channel (i.e. Distributors and Resellers) for the delivery of the Special Bid products. This is because the Manufacturer/Vendor is using the regular stock products which are in stock at the Distributor.

Process

Special Bid Orders Bids allow Specific End-User to buy products at a different price instead of the regular price. The Distributor will support the lower price for all goods delivered for the Specific End-User by claiming the difference from the Manufacturer/Vendor. The delivery to the End-User is done by a Reseller. Subsequently, the Reseller needs to report in the Purchase Order to the Distributor that the order is for a Specific specific End-User. By adding End-User contract number information in the Purchase Order, the Distributor knows that they can give price support to the Reseller and they can claim the difference from the Manufacturer by validating the contract information.


Onetrail receives the Special Bid Data on a daily basis from the distributors in different formats. The Special Bid Data is normalized to a standard data format and delivered to the buyers via one of the supported communication protocols, like FTP, AS2 or HTTP.
