| 1. - 4. |
The graphic above depicts the Design
Win scenario. See Distributor
Scenario 2 for information about the adjacent component
models. |
| 5. |
This model: When the
distributor has satisfied the criteria for Design Win incentive
awards, the distributor sends a Design Win claim to the component
supplier, and the component supplier sends back a response;
the response may approve or deny a claim. A denial may occur
if the distributor and supplier are not in agreement about whether
the criteria for incentives have been met, either due to data
being out of synch, or if the partners do not have a common
understanding of the criteria for incentive awards. |

Description |
| A. |
At start state A, the
distributor is eligible for a Design Win claim. |
| 1. |
The Distributor generates a Design
Win Claim. |
| 2. |
The component supplier processes
the Design Win Claim The component supplier may audit the claim
against point-of-sales data reported by the distributor. |
| 3. |
The component supplier responds to
the Design Win 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 Design Win 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 Design Win 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
Design Win 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 Design Win Claim. Typically, the distributor posts both
approvals and denials to a data base. If the Design Win Claim
is approved, the distributor may debits the appropriate amount
from what the distributor owes the component supplier for other
transactions, or the component supplier may issue a payment
for the appropriate amount. |
