    Hi!
    
    Do we have a compulsory corporate-wide policy on booking of sales made
    by a SBU VAR/ISV/SI partner at a key account, handled by ABU, or it
    depends only on the decision of the CM/CMT?
    
    To put it more clear: customer A is a key account where DEC-somewhere
    can't make a direct sale, but partner B (contracted SBU partner, present
    at customer A long time ago) can, using the exclusive SBU discounts.
    How and where should this sale be booked to? (Supposing that we respect
    the corporate policy.)
    
    Does this revenue count for:
    - the SBU PM's goal-sheet, handling partner B;
    - the ABU AM's goal-sheet, handling customer A;
    - both;
    - is it split between the SBU PM and ABU AM?
    
    Who covers the costs of the presales activities, events, loaned demo
    configuration, etc. promoting this sales?

|     In the USA the Business Partner (VAR/ISV/Reseller) can sell the Digital
    content of an order in concert with their value add, namely a software
    application, SI engagement, or other demonstrated value added element.
    
    The ABU account person who is formally listed in the CBA table (the
    certs table if you will) can claim 80% of the credit of the MLP or the
    order against his/her goals within that account.  If there is no
    account rep. assigned and there is a new business account person
    working within this territory, they can claim the credit against their
    goal sheet.
    
    The answer is, it depends on what is going on within the account, what
    partner they are working with, if they have a direct Digital sales rep.
    assigned to them or not, and what the scenario is being worked on.  The
    SBU account rep. receives the revenue credit assocaited with this sale
    through their partner.  This looks like:
    
    	MLP- discount - allowances- other adjustments = net operating rev.
    
    All SBU rep.'s are measured and paid on NOR or the net of the sale into
    and through their partner.  So, in essence on a sale where the ABU rep.
    is in the account influencing and helping with the sale they get their
    credit and the SBU rep. who is working with their business partner they
    receive their respective credit.
