Now vendors will use the Agreement module to submit scan-down promotions: Manager Special scan-down as Bill Back Type 2 Agreements to DeCA Category Manager Seasonal scan-down as Bill Back Type 3 Agreements to DeCA Promotional Team Hot Deal scan-down as Bill Back Type 4 Agreements to DeCA Category Manager Vendors can electronically create, negotiate, and finalize scan-based promotional agreements with DeCA for Managers’ Specials, Hot Deals, and Seasonal Markdowns. The module tracks changes made to agreements and provides version control for the agreements. Vendor Invoices Vendor Portal allows for greater vendor access to view promotional invoices: Vendors can access and view their current and prior month’s promotional invoices in the Generated Reports Module.
