Policy & approvals

Define the order decision sequence, credit-breach behavior, approval routing and alert thresholds.

No unsaved changes
Default breach behaviorHard blockOver-limit orders cannot be placed without changing the dealer limit.
Value approvalAbove ₹2,00,000Credit-compliant orders route to a Sales Manager.
Credit alerts80% · 100%Triggered when exposure crosses each configured threshold.

Order decision sequence

The rules are evaluated in this order; value approval never bypasses a hard credit block.

1Validate order

Item, quantity, price and ordering-rule checks.

2Check credit

Current exposure plus the pending order against the dealer limit.

3Apply breach mode

Hard block, or require a logged manager/owner override.

4Route by value

Credit-compliant orders above ₹2,00,000 enter the approval queue.

Credit and approval policy

Changes affect new order decisions only; existing approvals retain their original audit context.

Credit-breach behavior

What happens when the new order would exceed the dealer’s available credit.

Hard block

Reject the order. A credit-limit change is required before the order can be placed.

Warn + logged override

Sales Manager or Owner may proceed with a mandatory reason and captured balance/limit snapshot.

Approval threshold

Orders above this value route to a Sales Manager after credit policy has been satisfied.

Leave blank to disable value-based approval. Over-limit overrides remain separately controlled by the breach mode.
Alert thresholds

Merchant-side alerts fire once when exposure crosses each percentage of the dealer limit.

80% 100% + Add threshold
Thresholds must be unique, between 1% and 100%, and saved in ascending order.
Owner changes are written to the settings audit log.

Ordering rules

Set global order floors while keeping unit-specific quantity and stock behavior on the item master.

No unsaved changes

Placement rules

These rules apply consistently to dealer portal and field-rep orders.

Minimum order value

Orders below this commercial floor are blocked before approval and credit evaluation.

Set to ₹0 or leave blank for no minimum order value.
Minimum quantity per item

A single global quantity is unsafe across kg, bags, pieces, metres and cubic metres.

Configure item-specific order multiples and minimums in Items & Stock.
The global field from the earlier design has been removed so “5” cannot ambiguously mean 5 kg, 5 bags or 5 cubic metres.
Backorder behavior

Whether an unavailable stocked item can still be ordered is an item-level policy.

Backorder permission is separate from stock health. Made-to-order items may legitimately have zero on-hand without being “out of stock.”
Global rules never overwrite item-specific inventory policy.

Notifications

Configure delivery channels, merchant recipients and the approved dealer-facing template tone.

No unsaved changes

Channels

WhatsApp is primary; SMS is used only when WhatsApp is unreachable.

WhatsApp

Order status, claim status, portal invitations and approved credit-alert events.

SMS fallback

Used when the dealer contact has no reachable WhatsApp number.

Event routing

Dealer messages and internal operational alerts stay separate.

Dealer portal

Set safe defaults for new dealer access while keeping activation and contacts controlled per dealer.

No unsaved changes
Portal-enabled dealers9 of 10Activation remains a per-dealer decision in Dealer 360.
Default accessOff until invitedNew dealers cannot sign in until a contact is invited.
Default capabilities3 enabledBalance and statement, orders, claim tracking.

Defaults for newly created dealers

These defaults never silently activate existing dealers.

Portal activation

How access begins for a newly created dealer.

View balance and statement

Read-only view of the dealer’s own posted ledger and outstanding balance.

Place orders

Dealer orders use the same pricing, stock, credit and approval rules as staff orders.

Track claims

Dealer can view status of claims tied to their own orders.

Portal access is not a substitute for identity verification. Contacts and activation remain controlled on each dealer’s Dealer 360 record.

Ties to Spend & billing68%

Usage ownership

Quota visibility is shown here for configuration context; billing actions remain centralized.

WhatsApp is near its included limit.
Buying a pack, reviewing overage pricing and downloading billing invoices are deliberate actions in Spend & billing, not instant settings toggles.

Module lifecycle

Current statusActiveOrders, portal access and notifications are operating normally.
Data retentionPermanentDealers, ledgers, orders, claims and audit records are retained.
