Step Description
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.

Step 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.
