Step	Description
A.	At start state A, the distributor and component supplier have a pre-established relationship. Start state A occurs when the distributor's customer has agreed to design-in a product eligible for Design Win incentives, and the distributor wishes to register the design with the component supplier.
1.	The distributor launches a Design Win registration request.
2.	The component supplier processes the request.
3.	The component supplier generates a response to the registration request.
4.	The distributor processes the response to the registration request.
B.	At end state B, the supplier has sent a response that indicates that the registration 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 registration 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 a follow-on response should be generated if the the previous response indicated that authorization was 'pending', or the response may be invoked from time-to-time as result of changes made by the component supplier to the registration details.
