### 4.3 Dealer Termination – Process Flow Overview
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
4.3.1.1 Overview
|
||
```
|
||
```
|
||
The Dealer Termination Process governs the structured offboarding of a dealership initiated
|
||
internally by Royal Enfield due to operational, contractual, or ethical concerns.
|
||
It ensures that any termination—whether due to working-capital issues, poor performance,
|
||
or unethical practices —is investigated, documented, reviewed at multiple managerial levels,
|
||
and legally validated before final execution. The process maintains full transparency and
|
||
traceability through digital records, comments, and worknotes until the Termination
|
||
Letter is issued and the Full & Final (F&F) settlement begins.
|
||
```
|
||
**4.3.2 Step-by-Step Process Flow**
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
4.3.2.1 ASM – Case Initiation

```
|
||
- The **Area Sales Manager (ASM)** regularly visits dealers and records **Minutes of Meeting**
|
||
**(MOM)** for performance or compliance concerns.
|
||
- After two consecutive unsatisfactory commitments or escalations, the ASM initiates
|
||
a **Termination Request** in the portal.
|
||
- Fills all operational details (Dealer Code, LOI, LOA, Sales Data, etc.), selects
|
||
a **Termination Category** (Working Capital, Performance, Unethical Practice), and
|
||
uploads supporting documents (MOMs, commitments, dealer letters).
|
||
- Submits the case to **RBM + DD-ZM** for review.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
4.3.2.2 RBM + DD-ZM Review
|
||
```
|
||
- The **Regional Business Manager (RBM)** and **Dealer Development Zonal Manager (DD-**
|
||
**ZM)** jointly evaluate the case.
|
||
|
||
|
||
- Conduct a meeting with the dealer and record fresh MOMs; upload dealer
|
||
commitments on letterhead.
|
||
- Provide remarks and supporting evidence.
|
||
- Actions available:
|
||
o **Approve** → Forward to ZBH

o **Withdraw** → Terminates workflow with justification
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
4.3.2.3 ZBH Review
|
||
```
|
||
- The **Zonal Business Head (ZBH)** reviews the full chronology (ASM visits, RBM/DD-ZM
|
||
remarks, uploaded MOMs).
|
||
- Validates escalation authenticity and dealer communication record.
|
||
- Adds remarks and forwards to **DD-Lead** for deeper review.
|
||
- The termination request is reviewed by the **ZBH** , who is authorized to **Approve, Send**
|
||
**Back, or Revoke** the termination request. **Send Back actions are communicated**
|
||
**through Work Notes** , with **mandatory remarks** recorded for traceability.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
4.3.2.4 DD-Lead Review & Legal Assignment
|
||
```
|
||

|
||
recommendations.
|
||
- Assigns the case to **Legal Team** for inputs through the system (visible in worknotes).
|
||
- The termination request is reviewed by the **DD-Lead** , who is authorized to **Send Back or**
|
||
**Revoke** the termination request for clarification or reconsideration. All such actions
|
||
require **mandatory remarks captured in Work Notes**.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
4.3.2.5 Legal Verification
|
||
```
|
||
- The **Legal Team** reviews documentation, ensures contractual breaches are well-
|
||
supported, and checks all precedents.
|
||
- May raise queries via **Worknotes** or **Send Back** the case to DD-Lead for clarification.
|
||

|
||
|
||
```
|
||
4.4.1.1 Overview
|
||
```
|
||
The **Full & Final (F&F) Settlement Process** governs the financial closure of a dealership
|
||
following **Resignation** or **Termination**.
|
||
It ensures that all financial obligations between Royal Enfield and the dealer —
|
||
including **security deposits, recoveries, payables, and department-wise dues** — are
|
||
transparently reconciled, verified, and documented before closure.
|
||
|
||
**4.4.2 Step-by-Step Process Flow**
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
4.4.2.1 F&F Initiation
|
||
```
|
||
- Triggered automatically once the **Resignation Acceptance Letter** or **Termination**
|
||
**Letter** is uploaded by **Legal**.
|
||
- The **DD-Admin** or **DD-Lead** initiates the F&F case in the **Finance Dashboard** , which
|
||
creates a unique **FNF Case ID** linked to the dealer code.
|
||
- The system auto-fetches dealer details, associated documents, resignation/termination
|
||
date, and due dates.
|
||
- Notification is sent to the **Finance Team** and all functional departments to begin the
|
||
clearance process.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## 8 Termination
|
||
|
||
A **Dealer Termination** process is initiated when a dealership’s continuation is deemed
|
||
non-viable due to business, financial, or ethical reasons. The termination may arise
|
||
|
||
from three primary causes — **working capital inadequacy** , **continued underperformance** ,
|
||
or **unethical practices**. Cases involving working capital or performance issues follow a
|
||
|
||
structured review and approval process, allowing the concerned dealer to provide
|
||
clarification and supporting data before final decision. However, any instance
|
||
|
||
of **unethical practice** — including fraud, policy breach, or reputational risk to the brand
|
||
— results in **immediate termination**. All termination cases are documented within the
|
||
|
||
|
||
system, with remarks, evidence, and approval trails maintained for audit and
|
||
compliance verification.
|
||
|
||
### 8.1 Create Termination Request
|
||
|
||
**8.1.1 Functionality Scope**
|
||
|
||
The **Create Termination Request** form enables authorized users such as **DD-Lead** , **DD-Admin** ,
|
||
or **ASM** to initiate a termination case within the system. The form captures comprehensive
|
||
dealership details including operational timelines, format type, constitution, performance data,
|
||
and financial indicators. It also specifies the **Termination Category** (e.g., Working Capital,
|
||
Performance Issue, or Unethical Practice), supported by descriptive justification and relevant
|
||
documentation. The request forms the starting point of the digital termination workflow and
|
||
ensures that all necessary contextual data and artefacts are available for subsequent reviews and
|
||
escalations.
|
||
|
||
**8.1.2 Width**
|
||
|
||
- Allows creation of new termination requests by entering **Dealer Code** , operational details, and
|
||
financial data.

|
||
|
||
**8.2.1 Functionality Scope**
|
||
|
||
The **Details View** provides a consolidated summary of all key information related to the dealer
|
||
under review. It includes dealership codes, operational history, financial performance, and
|
||
termination-specific parameters. This enables reviewers at every level—whether ASM, ZBH, or
|
||
Legal—to quickly assess background context and validate evidence before taking action. The
|
||
interface also displays the current workflow stage and offers in-screen options
|
||
to **Approve** , **Withdraw** , or **Send Back** the request with remarks, ensuring traceable and reason-
|
||
based decisions.

**8.2.3 Depth**
|
||
|
||
The **Detail Tab** serves as the **central operational dashboard** for viewing all dealer, operational,
|
||
and termination-related data within a single, structured interface. It merges static dealer master
|
||
information with dynamic workflow inputs and uploaded artefacts, ensuring contextual visibility
|
||
for all stakeholders.
|
||
|
||
```

|
||
### 8.3 Termination Approval & Review Process
|
||
|
||
**8.3.1 Functionality Scope**
|
||
|
||
The **Termination Approval module** enables Royal Enfield’s internal stakeholders to manage
|
||
dealership termination cases in a structured, transparent, and traceable workflow. It ensures that
|
||
|
||
|
||
every dealership performance concern — whether due to **working capital shortfall** , **sustained
|
||
underperformance** , or **unethical practices** — is systematically reviewed, documented, and acted
|
||
upon through the defined escalation hierarchy.
|
||
|
||
This module supports structured documentation of **dealer meetings** , **uploaded
|
||
artefacts** , **reviewer remarks** , and **legal correspondence** , ensuring no manual communication
|
||
dependency.
|
||
All approvals, send-backs, or withdrawals are centrally logged, supported by **Work Notes** ,
|
||
ensuring collaborative clarity and institutional memory across teams.
|
||
|
||
The **CEO is the final approving authority** for dealer termination cases. The **Legal team prepares
|
||
and issues the termination letter only after CEO approval** , and **not upon NBH approval**.
|
||
**CCO and CEO** are included as approval authorities with **Approve, Hold, and Reject options**.
|
||
The **dealer does not have portal access** for termination workflows.
|
||
|
||
**8.3.2 Width**
|
||
|
||
The process spans across the complete DD and Legal hierarchy, ensuring clear role-based
|
||
accountability:
|
||
|
||
- **ASM:** Conducts monthly visits, logs Meeting of Minutes (MOM), uploads dealer
|
||
commitment letter and personal observations. Logging MOM is not the part of this system
|
||
but when he feel to trigger Termination, he will log as description & associate documents
|
||
while initiating the flow.
|
||
- **RBM + DD-ZM:** Escalate after repeated concerns, conduct joint meetings, and document
|
||
dealer responses on portal.
|
||
- **ZBH:** Reviews zonal-level non-compliance, escalates unresolved cases to DD-Lead and
|
||
NBH.
|
||
- **DD-Lead:** Reviews consolidated reports, validates escalation records, prepares case
|
||
presentation, and assigns to Legal.
|
||
- **Legal:** Reviews chronology, evaluates policy or contractual breaches, issues SCN, and
|
||
prepares final Termination Letter.
|
||
- **DD-Head:** Reviews with DD-Lead and Legal; presents case to NBH for decision.
|
||
- **NBH:** Provides final decision – approve, query, or hold.
|
||
- **DD-Admin:** Uploads dealer’s SCN response and handles F&F coordination post Legal
|
||
issuance.
|
||
|
||
|
||
**8.3.3 Depth**
|
||
|
||
- **Structured Case Creation (Owner: DD-Lead / DD-Admin / ASM)**
|
||
A Termination case is initiated through the “Create Termination Request” form by DD-
|
||
Lead, DD-Admin, or ASM.
|
||
o Each request is tagged with a unique **Termination ID** (e.g., TERM-001).
|
||
o Dealer and operational data are automatically fetched from the **Dealer**
|
||
**Master** and **Sales System** for accuracy.
|
||
- **Case Workflow Management (Owner: Workflow Engine)**
|
||
Each stage of the termination journey — from ASM initiation to Legal closure — is
|
||
mapped to approval levels.
|
||
o **ASM → RBM/DD-ZM → ZBH → DD-Lead → Legal → DD-Head → NBH**.
|
||
o Actions at every level (Approve, Withdraw, Send Back) are recorded with
|
||
mandatory remarks.
|
||
o Each remark auto-updates in **Work Notes** and **Progress Timeline** , triggering
|
||
instant notifications to the next role.
|
||
- **Work Note Integration (Owner: All Reviewers)**
|
||
The **Work Note** acts as the **central communication thread** within each termination case.
|
||
o Each reviewer (ASM, RBM, ZBH, DD-Lead, Legal, etc.) can post contextual remarks,
|
||
share discussions, or tag specific users.
|
||
o Tagged users (e.g., @DD-Lead, @Legal) receive instant notifications via **system**
|
||
**alerts** and **email**.
|
||
o Work Notes serve as a real-time collaboration and escalation record — every
|
||
comment, clarification, or update remains **time-stamped and user-tagged**.
|
||
o Legal and DD-Head may also use Work Notes to request clarification from lower
|
||
hierarchies (ASM, RBM, ZBH).
|
||
o Once a note is submitted, it becomes immutable and part of the **permanent**
|
||
**record** under **Audit Trail**.
|
||
- **Meeting & Artefact Uploads (Owner: ASM, RBM, ZBH)**
|
||
Each level of escalation includes upload of MOMs, dealer commitment letters, and
|
||
observations while Approving at his level.
|
||
o Artefacts are uploaded as PDFs (e.g., _Meeting_MOM_June2025.pdf_ ).
|
||
o Dealer commitments are scanned and attached for cross-reference during Legal
|
||
and NBH reviews.
|
||
- **Approval Actions (Owner: Workflow Engine)**
|
||
Reviewers can take the following actions:
|
||
o **Approve:** Confirms escalation readiness for next level.
|
||
o **Send Back:** Pushes case back for clarification with remarks visible in Work Notes.
|
||
o **Withdraw:** Used when the concern is resolved or no termination action is required.
|
||
Each action is recorded in both **Audit Trail** and **Work Notes** , ensuring clarity on
|
||
decision paths.
|
||
|
||
|
||
- **Legal Review and Issuance (Owner: Legal Team)**
|
||
Legal reviews the case chronology and uploaded artefacts.
|
||
o If clarification is needed, they “Send Back” via Work Notes.
|
||
o Once validated, Legal create the **Show Cause Notice (SCN)** to the portal and later
|
||
create the **Termination Letter** post NBH approval.
|
||
o These Show cause Notice and Termination Letter will be created within the system
|
||
o All uploaded legal artefacts remain accessible to DD-Lead, DD-Admin, and NBH.
|
||
- **Dealer Interaction & Closure (Owner: DD-Admin / DD-Lead)**
|
||
Dealer replies to the SCN via DD-Admin, who uploads the response to the portal.
|
||
o DD-Lead reviews dealer’s response with inputs from RBM and ZBH, updates
|
||
closure remarks, and forwards to NBH.
|
||
o Post-approval, Legal uploads the Termination Letter, visible to DD-Admin and
|
||
dealer.
|
||
o DD-Admin initiates **F&F** coordination, ensuring all records are finalized within SLA.
|
||
- **Immediate Termination (Owner: DD-Lead + Legal)**
|
||
Cases categorized under “Unethical Practice” trigger direct routing to Legal + DD-
|
||
Lead, skipping intermediate reviews.
|
||
o Immediate Legal action and issuance of termination communication occur within
|
||
the system, ensuring swift compliance.
|
||
- **Audit Trail (Owner: System Engine)**
|
||
Each user action — approval, send back, upload, comment — is timestamped and
|
||
permanently logged.
|
||
o The trail captures: _User Name, Action Type, Timestamp, Remarks Summary, and_
|
||
_Linked Artefact_.
|
||
o Accessible by DD-Lead, Legal, DD-Head, and NBH for compliance review.

### 8.4 Termination Progress Timeline
|
||
|
||
**8.4.1 Functionality Scope**
|
||
|
||
The **Termination Progress Timeline** provides a stage-wise visualization of the entire termination
|
||
journey — from case initiation to final closure. It ensures that every escalation, document, review,
|
||
and approval is tracked transparently with timestamped accountability.
|
||
|
||
Each level in the workflow — from **ASM initiation** to **CEO authorization** — is dynamically
|
||
reflected with role names, document counts, feedback notes, and status indicators.
|
||
The module promotes structured collaboration by integrating **Work Notes** and **Audit
|
||
Trail** updates at each milestone, enabling leadership to monitor the decision flow in real time.
|
||
|
||
|
||
**8.4.2 Width**
|
||
|
||
The timeline consolidates inputs from multiple roles, creating an end-to-end view of operational,
|
||
business, and legal evaluations:
|
||
|
||
- **ASM** initiates the request and uploads meeting artefacts.
|
||
- **RBM / DD-ZM** review and escalate based on repeated violations.
|
||
- **ZBH** performs zonal validation and comments.
|
||
- **DD-Lead** consolidates data, reviews chronology, and assigns to Legal.
|
||
- **Legal** verifies contract breaches and provides legal opinion or Show Cause Notice (SCN).
|
||
- **NBH** performs business-level evaluation and grants or holds final approval.
|
||
- **CEO / CCO** complete the executive authorization.
|
||
- **DD-Admin** coordinates issuance of the final Termination Letter and forwards it to F&F.
|
||
|
||
Each transition (approve, send-back, withdraw) automatically updates the timeline with the
|
||
reviewer’s remarks and uploaded artefacts.
|
||
|
||
**8.4.3 Depth**
|
||
|
||
The Termination Progress Timeline follows a clearly defined 14-stage lifecycle. Each stage is
|
||
associated with specific ownership, document uploads, and Work Note actions.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
```
|
||
8.4.3.2 Work Note Integration
|
||
```
|
||
- Each stage allows the reviewer to post contextual **Work Notes** for coordination,
|
||
clarification, or escalation.
|
||
- Notes automatically capture **author, timestamp, and linked stage**.
|
||
- Tagged users receive both **email** and **in-app alerts**.
|
||
- Work Notes act as the **single source of truth** , capturing every internal discussion and
|
||
external clarification.
|
||
- Once the case reaches “Dealer Terminated,” Work Notes are archived as part of the
|
||
official record visible under **Audit Trail**.
