DealCentral Workflow

The Workflow

1. Each deal is created by a Submitter (either Internal or External). The Submitter is able to:

● Alter the details of the deal or delete the deal up to the point of submission.

● Modify a deal that has been changed at a later point in the deal's lifecycle.

● Request and Confirm Rescind of a deal that is no longer being negotiated.

2. An Approver from the Category Team checks the submitted deal and makes any necessary changes.

● If the Approver makes any contractual changes, the deal is returned to the Submitter to be modified and resubmitted.

● If no changes are needed, the deal is Approved and is sent to the Reviewer.

3. After the deal has been Approved, another member of the Category Team reviews the details of the deal to determine if any further changes are necessary.

● If the Reviewer makes any contractual changes, the deal is returned to the Submitter to be modified and resubmitted.

● If the Reviewer makes any non-contractual changes, the deal is not returned to the Vendor for re-approval.

● If no changes are needed, the deal is Authorized and enters Pre-Promotion.

4. When an Authorized deal is in Pre-Promotion, changes can still be made until the deal becomes Locked. Once the deal becomes Locked, the deal can still be viewed in DealCentral. Changes can be made if the deal is unlocked by a DealCentral Admin.

5. During the course of the promotion, the deal is shown as Started in DealCentral.

6. After the Promo Retail End date, the deal remains in DealCentral as Completed and can still be viewed.
