EIDX/CompTIA ConsignmentScenario V

Step Description
1. - 3., 5. The graphic above contains a representative scenario. See index for links to adjacent models and scenarios using this model.
4. This model: When the distributor sells a product that have SSD authorizations, the distributor submits a debit claim to the supplier, and the supplier sends back a response; the response may approve or deny a debit claim.
Alternatively, though it is not a common practice, the supplier may use the sales data instead of a debit claim to automatically notify the distributor that a debit is approved, per Debits and Credits Model 6.

Step Description
A. At start state A, the distributor is eligible for a Ship-from-Stock and Debit claim.
1. The Distributor generates a debit Claim.
2. The component supplier processes the Debit Claim The component supplier may audit the claim against point-of-sales data reported by the distributor.
3. The component supplier responds to the Debit Claim. The component supplier will either approve the request, deny the request, providing a reason for the denial, or mark it as pending.
If the initial response is "pending," the distributor should expect to see a follow-up response within a reasonable amount of time. The definition of "reasonable amount of time may be based on the Trading Partner Agreement.
B. At end state B, the supplier has sent a response that indicates that the debit claim is either accepted (approved) or rejected (denied). The distributor may continue on to the next step in the business scenario.
C. At end state C, the supplier has sent a response that indicates that the debit claim approval is "pending". The distributor should not continue on to the next step in the business scenario. The distributor should expect to see a follow-up response within an agreed, configurable amount of time. The amount of time may be specified the Trading Partner Agreement. The distributor may launch an exception notice if the supplier's follow-on response is not received within the agreed, configurable period of time.
D. Start state D indicates that the Debit Authorization Response may be invoked if the component supplier needs to send a follow-up response to the distributor.
4. The distributor processes the Response to the Debit Claim. Typically, the distributor posts both approvals and denials to a data base. If the Debit Claim is approved, the distributor debits the appropriate amount from what the distributor owes the component supplier for other transactions.
