  2. Validate the setupTest reward mappings and representative shipments.
  3. Agree accountabilityAssign release, exception and reporting decisions.

Use the agreed units, actual records and approved procedures for your operation.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

A packing quote omits reward assembly.

A campaign provider quotes dispatch per package, but the reward requires assembling several components and an insert. The brand and provider need to price and test that work explicitly. The partner label did not establish that every preparation task was included.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR QUOTE

Agree the requirement before comparing quotes

Use the actual shipment, stock and service requirements. Record the billing unit, included work and responsibility for exceptions.
