• Verify deal registrations, special pricing, channel protections, and associated expiration dates.
• Confirm that registrations and authorizations are assigned to the correct Innovatus entity and opportunity.

• Work with the ISR and Account Executive to confirm the correct contractual customer or contract vehicle.

  • Product cost
  • Freight and shipping

  • Credit or transaction fees
  • Contract-vehicle fees
  • Warehousing, asset tagging, configuration, kitting, and overpacking
