Creating a Distribution Profile (Email & Reference)
A Distribution Profile (also known as a price list) is a list of products and prices supported by a specific distributor (RTM). This article will guide you through setting up your distribution profiles, whether direct, distributor-based, or a combination of both. These profiles form the basis for placing orders within Bowimi.
Note: You can also have multiple profiles per distributor or even for your direct orders to allow for different channel pricing. E.g. On-Trade, Off-Trade & Grocery pricing.
Pre-Requisites:
-
You must have a distributor added for this to populate or use the Direct company.
-
If you don’t have permissions, please contact the admin to have it created.
