## 7 Dealer Resignation
The **Dealer Resignation** process enables an existing Royal Enfield dealer to formally
initiate their intent to discontinue the dealership through a structured and transparent
workflow. This process captures the dealer’s resignation details, reasons for exit, and
proposed timeline, ensuring all associated departments — including **DD-Admin, DD-**
**Head, Finance, Legal, and Regional Teams** — are informed and involved in the validation
and clearance stages. Each resignation request undergoes systematic review, covering
asset recovery, financial reconciliation, documentation verification, and contractual
obligations before final approval and closure.
### 7.1 Dealer Resignation Request (Initiation)
**7.1.1 Functionality Scope**
The **Dealer Resignation Request** process begins when a dealer formally communicates their
intent to resign via an **official email** to ASM. Once received, the **DD-ASM** initiates the resignation
process in the system by creating a digital record using the _Create Resignation Request_ form. The
form captures critical dealership, operational, and contextual information — such as business
constitution, sales data, and closure type — ensuring that the request is documented in a
structured, traceable, and standardized manner. This process establishes a single source of truth
for all resignation-related data, facilitating transparent coordination among **DD-Head, Finance,
Legal, and Regional Teams** for subsequent review and action. Dealer can login exclusively and
can only initiate the Resignation request.
The **Dealer Resignation Request is initiated by the dealer through the portal** , providing a
structured mechanism to formally submit the intent to discontinue the dealership. The dealer
captures resignation details, reason for exit, and the proposed effective date. Upon submission,
the request is routed to the internal stakeholders for review, validation, and subsequent
clearance processes. The **dealer logs into the portal and initiates the resignation request** by
submitting the required details and supporting information.

o Validates the **Dealer Code** against the dealership master from SAP API to be
provided by RE
o Generates a unique **Resignation Request ID** and logs submission details
(timestamp, user, and role).
o Stores the uploaded resignation email or document in the **Central Document**
**Repository** for reference.

7.4 Resignation Request Review & Action Management
7.4.1 Functionality Scope
The Resignation Progress Timeline provides a transparent, stepwise view of the dealer resignation workflow — from initial submission to the issuance of the final Acceptance Letter. Since the Dealer does not have portal access for resignation, the process starts through an email submission to the Area Sales Manager (ASM) , followed by progressive reviews and comments at multiple organizational levels. Each approver in the chain can perform one of three key actions — Approve , Send Back for Clarification , or Withdraw — with remarks captured in Work Notes for audit and traceability. Once approved by the National Business Head (NBH) , the request automatically routes to the Legal Team for the issuance of the acceptance letter, visible to both the DD Admin and DD-ASM.
The dealer is provided portal access to upload resignation-related documents and responses during the applicable workflow stages. For termination cases, dealer upload access is restricted as per defined governance rules.
