1 System Overview & Problem Statement

1.1.1 System Overview

The Dealer Onboarding and Offboarding System for Royal Enfield (RE) is designed to digitize, standardize, and streamline the complete dealer lifecycle — from application and evaluation to approval, resignation, termination, and full-and-final (F&F) settlement.

At present, the process operates through manual coordination , involving emails, spreadsheets, and physical documentation , which makes it difficult to maintain visibility, accountability, and consistency across teams.

The proposed solution introduces a centralized digital platform that brings all stakeholders onto a single workflow. It ensures that every stage — onboarding, operational approvals, financial diligence, legal validation, and final closure — follows a structured and traceable process.

The system integrates seamlessly with existing RE applications such as SSO , SAP , and Finance modules , providing role-based access , real-time tracking , and secure document management. It also offers automated workflows , configurable approval hierarchies , and AI-assisted decision support to improve efficiency and reduce turnaround time.

By moving to a digital workflow, Royal Enfield will achieve higher levels of process efficiency , data accuracy , and transparency , ensuring faster decision-making and stronger control over the dealer network lifecycle.

4.4 Dealer Full & Final (F&F) Settlement – Process Flow

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.

4.4.2.2 Department-wise Response Collection

• The system automatically prompts all mapped functional departments (16 in total) to submit their clearance inputs — including NOC, payables, recoveries, and remarks.
• Each department updates: o Financial dues (if any) o Clearance confirmation (NOC) o Supporting document uploads (e.g., debit note, invoice copy)
• The system dynamically updates progress (e.g., 12/16 Departments Responded ) with color-coded indicators: o 🟢 No Dues – Cleared o 🔴 Dues Pending – Outstanding financial liability o ⚪ Pending – Awaiting department input
• SLA-based reminders are auto-triggered for pending responses nearing the deadline.

4.4.2.3 Finance Summary Consolidation

• Once all departments respond, the DD-Admin Team consolidates inputs into the Final F&F Summary Sheet , which consists of:

o Payables to Dealer (e.g., refundable deposits, reimbursements)
o Receivables from Dealer (e.g., outstanding invoices, recoveries)
o Deductions (policy penalties, non-compliance adjustments)

• The system automatically calculates:
  • Net Settlement = Total Payables – Total Receivables – Total Deductions
• Finance reviews and adjusts entries as needed, attaching relevant proofs for transparency.
• Status updates to Finance Summary Prepared once complete.

4.4.2.4 Internal Review & Clarification

4.4.2.5 Dealer Discussion & Acknowledgment

• The Finance Team , along with Legal and DD-Lead , discusses the settlement summary with the dealer.
• Dealer acknowledgment is captured either via written confirmation or attached email communication.

• The Settlement Proof (e.g., payment confirmation or recovery adjustment) is uploaded by Finance.

• The DD-Admin communicates official closure to the dealer and archives all artefacts.

• System triggers final alerts to DD-Lead, NBH, and Legal confirming completion.

• The case is archived in the Audit Trail for future reference.

4.5 Finance Team – Process Flow

4.5.1.1 Overview

The Finance Team Process Flow governs all financial activities related to dealer lifecycle management — from security deposit validation at onboarding to final settlement at resignation or termination. It ensures complete financial traceability, proper verification of payments, and compliance with Royal Enfield’s financial governance standards. The process flow integrates with Admin, Legal, Dealer Development (DD) , and Departmental Modules , ensuring accurate financial updates and timely closure of all financial transactions.

4.5.2 Step-by-Step Process Flow

4.5.2.1 Security Deposit Validation (Onboarding Stage)

• Trigger: Initiated when a new dealer’s onboarding application reaches the Finance stage after DD approval.
• Action: The Finance Team verifies the Security Deposit payment made by the dealer via RTGS/NEFT or other approved channels.
• Outcome: o Verified deposits are marked as Approved , triggering system notifications to DD- Admin and DD-Lead. o The verified payment data is stored permanently in the dealer’s financial profile for audit and reference.

4.5.2.2 Financial Summary Preparation

• Action: Once departmental inputs are received, Finance consolidates all data into the F&F Summary Sheet.
• System Steps: o Segregates entries under: ▪ Payables to Dealer (e.g., refundable deposits, reimbursements)

▪ Receivables from Dealer (e.g., outstanding payments, penalties)
▪ Deductions (e.g., policy recoveries, warranty holdbacks)
o The system auto-calculates:
o Net Settlement = Total Payables – Total Receivables – Deductions
o Finance validates each record, uploads supporting documents (receipts, invoices,
credit notes), and adds remarks.

• Outcome: The computed Net Settlement Amount is reflected in the dashboard, categorized as Payable to Dealer or Recoverable from Dealer.

4.5.2.3 Internal Clarification & Approval

• Action: Finance initiates clarification rounds with departments or DD-Lead for mismatched data.
• System Steps: o Uses the Work Notes section for comments, tagging users like @DD- Lead , @Legal , or @Admin. o Tracks status as Pending Clarification until resolved. o After reconciliation, Finance locks the summary and updates case status to Ready for Approval.

4.5.2.4 Final Review & Dealer Confirmation

• Action: Finance conducts an internal review of the consolidated settlement and initiates a financial discussion with the dealer.
• System Steps: o Reviews summary details on-screen with Legal and DD-Lead. o Records dealer’s acknowledgment via Work Note or attached email confirmation. o Once confirmed, proceeds to payment verification.

4.5.2.5 Payment Processing & Record Update

• Action: Finance executes the financial transaction (payment to or recovery from dealer).
• System Steps: o Enters Mode of Payment , Transaction Reference Number , Date , and Remarks. o Uploads proof of payment (RTGS confirmation or bank statement). o Marks case as Finance Approved and sends completion notification to DD-Admin and Legal. o System automatically updates the Progress Timeline and Audit Trail.

4.5.2.6 F&F Completion & Closure

• Action: Finance reviews all entries, confirms ledger reconciliations, and marks case as Completed.
• System Steps: o Locks financial data and supporting artefacts. o Status changes to Closed – F&F Completed. o Final confirmation sent to all stakeholders — DD-Lead, NBH, DD-Head, Legal, and DD-Admin. o Finance Dashboard updates counters under “Completed Cases.”

5 System Features & Requirements

6.4 Opportunity & Non Opportunity

6.4.1 Functionality Scope

The Opportunity & Non-Opportunity Management module classifies all dealer applications received through the Dealer Application Form into two distinct categories as Opportunity and Non-Opportunity. This classification is determined automatically based on the applicant’s preferred dealership location and the current availability of opportunities defined in the system. In certain cases, an applicant may express interest in a specific location (e.g., Chennai) where an opportunity is not currently open. Such applications will remain on hold and can be reactivated or re-sent once the opportunity for that location becomes available. The system shall allow the applicant to reinitiate the opportunity request without re-entering all previous details. The module ensures that every application is properly acknowledged and routed for further processing or stored for future reference, maintaining transparency and traceability in applicant communication.

6.4.2 Width

2.1 The module appears under the Dealer Onboarding workspace with two key views:

• Opportunity Requests – Displays all applications where dealership opportunities are currently open in the requested region.

3.1 When a dealer submits an application, the system checks the preferred city and region against the Opportunity Town Master configured by the admin.

3.2 Based on this validation, the following actions occur automatically:

1. If an opportunity exists , the applicant receives an Opportunity Email , confirming that their location is currently under consideration.
2. If no opportunity exists , a Non-Opportunity Email is triggered, informing the applicant that the region is closed for dealership openings but that their information will be retained for future reference so in case any opportunity pops up later, he can be contacted. 3.3 All submitted applications initially land with the Admin , who performs a preliminary validation and shortlist them into appropriate zonal or regional queues. 3.5 Both Opportunity and Non-Opportunity records are time-stamped and retained for audit visibility and future lead generation reference.

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.

Ltd., etc.)

o Dealership Type (Main, Satellite, Studio, etc.)
o Type of Closure (Voluntary, Business Transfer, Termination, etc.)
o Format Category (Urban, Rural, etc.)
o Dealer Scorecard Band
o Resignation Reason (brief summary)
o Dealer Voice (detailed justification or remarks from dealer’s email)
o Upload Document (resignation email copy or supporting documents)

• Buttons: o Submit Request: validates data and triggers routing to the next stage of review. o Cancel: exits without saving.

7.1.3 Depth

• Upon submission by DD-Admin , the system performs the following 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. o Automatically notifies the DD-Head and relevant stakeholders that a new resignation has been logged. o Marks the case status as “Resignation Initiated” in the workflow tracker. o He will also upload the resignation PPT which is build off the system.

7.3 Resignation Details & Review

7.3.1 Functionality Scope

The Resignation Details & Review module provides a comprehensive view of all dealer resignation information captured during initiation. It enables authorized reviewers to validate dealer data, evaluate the reason and context for resignation, and take appropriate workflow actions such as Approval, Withdrawal, Send Back, or Push to Full & Final (F&F). The screen consolidates dealer master data, operational metrics, and resignation specifics, ensuring reviewers have complete visibility before making decisions.

7.3.2 Width

• Header Actions: o Approve: Marks resignation as validated and forwards it to the next workflow stage (DD-Head / NBH). o Withdrawal: Used if the dealer retracts the resignation request or if withdrawal is approved internally. o Send Back: Returns the request to DD-Admin for correction or additional details. o Push to F&F: Moves the case to the Full & Final Settlement process after all approvals are secured.

o Assign User: Allows reallocation of review responsibility to another internal user.
o View Work Notes: Opens the shared comment thread for internal collaboration
and tagging.

• Tabs: o Details – Displays complete resignation information and dealer data. o Progress – Shows stage-wise workflow journey and current reviewer. o Documents – Lists uploaded resignation documents and correspondence. o Audit Trail – Records every action, decision, and timestamp for traceability.

7.3.3 3. Depth

• Information Segments: o Request Information: Pull dealer master details such as Dealer Code, GST, Address, Domain & Service Codes, City Category, and Dealership Name. o Operational Details: Displays dealership metrics including inauguration and LOA dates, number of outlets, last six-month sales, business constitution, format category, and dealer scorecard band. o Resignation Details: Summarizes the Resignation Reason and Dealer Voice (Customer Description) derived from the dealer’s email submission.

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.

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.
• Captures Termination Category and Description for clarity on grounds of termination.
• Supports upload of supporting artefacts such as MOMs, dealer commitments, or financial statements.

• Integration with Work Notes for contextual communication and escalation traceability.

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.

8.2.3.1 Components & Functional Behavior

• Dealer Information (Owner: DD-Admin / System Integration Layer) Displays master data pulled from the Dealer Master table — including Dealer Code, Name, Address, GST, Domain Name, City Category, Sales Code, Service Code, and GMA Code. o Synced automatically from RE’s Dealer Database (Master Registry). o Read-only for all personas except system admin for data correction requests. o Enables search and cross-referencing across termination, resignation, and onboarding records.

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.

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

• Add/Edit Zone Form: o Input fields available for setup: ▪ Zone Code – e.g., N-Z1 ▪ Zone Name – e.g., North Zone ▪ Region – Select from dropdown ( UP, Punjab & others ) ▪ States Covered – Multi-select dropdown populated from the Location Master ▪ Areas Covered – Multi-select dropdown (district- or city-level sub- mapping) o Save Zone: Validates and commits configuration changes. o Cancel: Closes form without saving.

9.1.3 3. Depth

• Definition of Hierarchy: o The Royal Enfield network is structured as: Zone → Region → Area → Dealer / Showroom o Each level has clear administrative and operational ownership, ensuring traceability and accountability across the dealer ecosystem. o Example – North Zone Structure: o North Zone ( 900 Dealers) o ├── UP Region ( 180 Dealers) o │ ├── Lucknow Area ( 8 Dealers) o │ │ ├── Pushp Auto (Alambagh Showroom) o │ │ ├── Rishabh Motors (Gomti Nagar) o │ │ └── 6 More Local Outlets o │ ├── Kanpur Area ( 10 Dealers) o │ └── 13 Other Areas o ├── Punjab Region ( 150 Dealers) o └── 5 Other Regions o This hierarchical configuration ensures that every Dealer , Studio , or Outlet is mapped under a defined Area , which rolls up into a Region , and subsequently into a Zone.
• Data Mapping & Validation Logic: o Each Zone is assigned a unique identifier and linked to its parent Region and Area. o Dealer Development (DD) resources are mapped to their respective areas for process routing. o State–Area relationships are validated to prevent overlapping coverage or duplicate entries.

o Automatic recalculation of counts occurs when dealers or managers are
reassigned.

9.2 Zone, Region & Area Configuration

9.2.1 Functionality Scope

The Zone, Region & Area Configuration module defines the geographical and managerial hierarchy governing Royal Enfield’s entire dealer network. It empowers the Admin to configure the structural mapping of Zones , Regions , and Areas , thereby aligning operational responsibilities and approval flows across Dealer Development (DD), Sales, and Business teams. Each Zone is led by a Zonal Business Head (ZBH) and comprises multiple Regions managed by Regional Business Managers (RBMs). Within each region, Area Sales Managers (ASMs) and Dealer Development Area Managers (DD-AMs) oversee localized dealer operations. Above these field roles, the hierarchy extends to Dealer Development Zonal Managers (DD-ZM) , DD-Lead , DD-Head , and finally the National Business Head (NBH) , ensuring visibility and governance across all levels. This structure serves as the foundation for all workflows — including Onboarding, Resignation, Termination, and F&F Settlements — ensuring automated routing, escalation, and performance tracking aligned to the correct operational hierarchy.

9.2.2 Width

This module spans the full organizational hierarchy and covers all geographic and managerial relationships that define how workflows are routed and governed:

• Zone Configuration

o Define zone code, name, and description (e.g., North Zone, South Zone).
o Assign the Zonal Business Head (ZBH) & DD-ZM with name, contact, and email.
o Select all states and union territories falling under the zone’s jurisdiction.

• Regional Configuration o Create one or multiple regions (Sates) under each zone. o Assign a Regional Business Manager (RBM) and link them with contact details. o Map states and districts under the region. o Specify the total Regional Officers and Area Managers working under the region.
• Area Configuration (ASM / DD-AM Assignment) o Configure Area Sales Managers (ASM) and Dealer Development Area Managers (DD-AM) with designated city or district coverage. o Link each ASM/DD-AM to their corresponding Region and Zone. o Set contact details, status, and operational scope (Active/Inactive).
• Hierarchy Linkage Across Levels o Each region and area automatically link upward to DD-ZM , ZBH , and DD-Lead , ensuring system-level routing alignment. o National roles such as DD-Head and NBH inherit macro-level visibility across all configured territories.

9.2.3 Depth

• Organizational Mapping: Each dealer request or case — whether onboarding, resignation, or termination — inherits its routing chain from this hierarchy (e.g., ASM → RBM → ZBH → DD-Lead → NBH). This ensures consistent reporting and accountability.

• Role Interlinking: o ASM & DD-AM : Manage dealer operations, visit tracking, and initial-level data inputs. o RBM & DD-ZM : Conduct mid-level evaluations and provide regional performance oversight. o ZBH : Supervises zonal dealer network health and strategic decisions. o DD-Lead & DD-Head : Manage pan-India dealer policies, escalations, and workflow resolutions. o NBH : Holds final oversight and decision authority for national-level approvals.

• Geographic Traceability: Every configuration entry — from zone to district — enables traceable linkage of dealer location, responsible officers, and workflow approvals.

• Dynamic Updates & Scalability: Admins can modify or reassign any role or coverage area without disrupting ongoing workflows. The system auto-updates workflow routing, escalation hierarchy, and reports in real time.

• There can be multiple users mapped at same role. For example, there can be 2 ZBH or 3 DD-ZM at a same Zone.

• Data Consistency & Integration: Each change reflects across dependent modules like Role & Permissions , SLA Management , and Email Notifications , ensuring all updates remain synchronized.

9.3 Roles & permissions

9.3.1 Functionality Scope

The Roles & Permissions module governs how users across Royal Enfield’s Dealer Development and allied departments (Finance, Legal, FDD) interact with the system. It ensures each role has controlled access to relevant workflows, reports, and actions within the Dealer Lifecycle — from opportunity creation and onboarding, through evaluation and FDD, to resignation and closure. The module supports multi-level permission granularity , allowing both role-based and user-specific privilege configurations. This provides flexibility to assign additional or restricted access based on operational necessity while maintaining organizational compliance and hierarchy alignment.

9.3.2 Width

• Role Management Dashboard: o Displays every configured role along with its assigned permissions and mapped users. o Columns include: ▪ Role Name ▪ Permissions (summary + expandable list) ▪ User Count ▪ Actions ( Edit , Delete )
• Add/Edit Role: o Role Name – unique identifier (e.g., DD-ZM , Finance , Legal ). o Description – outlines the role’s scope (e.g., Manages Zonal Operations & Level- 1 Evaluation ). o Permission Toggles: ▪ View / Review / Approve / Reject Applications ▪ Upload Documents ▪ Schedule Interviews ▪ Manage Users ▪ View Reports ▪ Configure SLA ▪ Manage Templates ▪ View / Verify Payments

9.4 SLA Configuration & Escalation Management

9.4.1 Functionality Scope

The SLA Configuration module enables Admin to define, monitor, and enforce Turnaround Time (TAT) for every activity across the dealer lifecycle (onboarding, interviews, FDD, legal, payments, resignation, F&F, LOI/LOA, EOR, etc.). The system supports three-level escalation , pre-TAT reminders , and post-TAT breach notifications. All reminders and escalations are auto-logged in Work Notes and trigger email + in-app notifications , ensuring traceability, transparency, and timely closure.

9.4.2 Width

• SLA Templates o Activity/Stage (e.g., Level-1 Interview Feedback , FDD Report Upload , Payment Verification , LOI Approval , Resignation Review ). o Owner Role (e.g., DD-ZM , RBM , ZBH , DD-Lead , Finance , Legal , FDD ).

o TAT Unit & Calendar: hours/days, working days
o Pre-TAT Reminders: schedule one or more reminders (e.g., T-48h , T-24h , T-2h ).
o Escalation Matrix (3 levels):
▪ L1: After breach +X hours → Escalate to immediate supervisor (e.g., RBM
→ DD-ZM).
▪ L2: If still open +Y hours → Escalate to zonal authority (e.g., ZBH / DD-Lead).
▪ L3: If still open +Z hours → Escalate to national authority (e.g., DD-Head /
NBH ).
o Notification Channels: email, in-app notification, optional SMS.
o Work Notes Posting: auto-post reminder/escalation entries with timestamp, SLA
name, and due metrics.
o Repeat Overdue Reminders: configurable cadence (e.g., every 24h until closure).
o Pause Rules (optional): pause SLA when status is On Hold / Waiting for
Applicant / Awaiting External (e.g., FDD).
o Scope Rules: by Zone/Region/Area, by Role, by Activity Type, and by Application
Category.

• Dashboards & Views o My SLA Queue: due soon, breached, and escalated items for the logged-in user. o Aging Buckets: 0 – 25%, 26–75%, 76–99%, Breached. o SLA Badges on list cards and detail pages (green/amber/red) with remaining time. o Reports: breach rate, average resolution time, top delayed activities, escalations by level/role/region.

9.4.3 Depth

• Clock Start/Stop Logic o SLA starts when the activity is created/assigned to the owner role. o SLA pauses on configured statuses (e.g., Waiting for Applicant / FDD / Legal ), resumes on return to active. o SLA stops on closure states (e.g., Approved/Rejected/Completed ).
• Reminder & Escalation Execution o At each pre-TAT checkpoint the system: ▪ Sends email + in-app reminder to the activity owner. ▪ Posts an automated Work Note (e.g., “T-24h: Reminder sent to RBM for Level-1 Feedback”). o On TAT breach: ▪ Marks item Breached (red) , posts Work Note with elapsed time. ▪ Triggers Escalation L1 to the mapped role; if not resolved within L1 window, cascades to L2 then L3. ▪ Each escalation includes assignee, timestamp, reason, and a link to the record.

• Escalations: o L1 (T+4h): to ZBH o L2 (T+12h): to DD-Lead o L3 (T+24h): to DD-Head/NBH
• System Actions: badges on record; Work Notes for every reminder/escalation; email + in- app notifications at each step.

9.5 Email & Letter Templates Management

9.5.1 Functionality Scope

The Email & Letter Templates module enables system administrators to configure and automate communication across all dealer lifecycle workflows — including onboarding, interviews, payments, FDD, approvals, and resignation stages. Each template defines trigger-based notifications , ensuring timely and consistent communication between internal users (DD roles, RBM, ZBH, etc.) and external applicants. Templates can dynamically pull context-specific details using system variables and can be activated, edited, or versioned at any time.

This module ensures communication uniformity across regions and roles while supporting automation triggers , personalized content , and multi-channel delivery (email + in- app notifications).

9.5.2 2. Width

9.5.2.1 Template Management Dashboard

• Displays all active and inactive templates with details such as: o Template Name – e.g., Application Received , Interview Scheduled , SLA Breach Warning. o Subject Line – dynamic subject that appears in email notifications. o Trigger Event – specifies when the email is auto-sent (e.g., on approval, rejection, or SLA breach). o Last Modified Date – timestamp of latest changes for version control. o Actions – Edit , Duplicate , Delete.

9.5.2.2 Add / Edit Template

Each email template includes configurable fields:

• Template Name: Internal label for easy identification (e.g., Application Approved ).
• Email Subject: Subject line used for recipients (e.g., Congratulations! Your Application Has Been Approved ).
• Trigger Event: Selects the system action that will initiate the email (dropdown includes): o On Application Submission o On Approval o On Rejection o Interview Scheduled o Document Request o Payment Required o SLA Breach Warning o Payment Reminder
• Template Body: Rich-text editor (HTML support) with system variable placeholders for dynamic insertion.
• Active Template Toggle: Enables or disables template without deletion.
• Save / Cancel Buttons: Commit or discard edits.

9.5.3 3. Depth

9.5.3.1 Trigger Mechanism

Each configured template is mapped to an event listener within the workflow. When a user or system action matches the trigger condition, an automated email and in-app notification are generated and dispatched to the intended recipients.

For example:

• When an applicant submits a form → triggers Application Received template.
• When DD-ZM schedules an interview → triggers Interview Scheduled template.
• When SLA for an activity nears breach → triggers SLA Breach Warning template.

9.5.3.2 Dynamic Data Population

Templates leverage predefined system variables to automatically populate relevant data, ensuring contextual accuracy. Available variables include:

Variable Description

{{applicant_name}} (^) Applicant’s full name {{application_id}} Unique application identifier {{application_date}} (^) Submission date {{interview_date}} (^) Scheduled interview date {{interview_time}} Scheduled interview time {{status}} (^) Current application status {{reason}} (^) Reason for rejection or remark {{company_name}} Dealer firm or business entity name {{location}} (^) Preferred / applied dealership location {{reviewer_name}} (^) Approver or interviewer name {{payment_amount}} Amount due or verified {{due_date}} (^) Payment / response deadline {{support_email}} (^) Official support or contact email Variables are replaced dynamically at runtime, ensuring personalized and accurate communications without manual edits.

9.5.3.3 Trigger Linkage & Workflow Integration

• The module is fully integrated with system workflows — Dealer Onboarding, Interview Evaluation, FDD, Finance, Legal, and Resignation.
• Templates can be reused across similar workflows and roles, minimizing duplication.
• Each workflow can have multiple templates mapped to distinct sub-events (e.g., Interview Scheduled vs Interview Rescheduled ).

9.5.3.4 Escalation & SLA Communication Integration

• SLA reminders and escalations leverage the same template framework.
• Templates like SLA Breach Warning and Pending Action Reminder automatically pull escalation hierarchy and timestamps.
• Escalations are simultaneously logged in Work Notes to maintain an auditable communication trail.

9.6 Opportunity Management (Geography & Window Setup)

9.6.1 Functionality Scope

The Opportunity Management module allows Admin to define where and when dealership opportunities are open. Admin can create opportunities at Zone → Region → Area granularity, specify From / To dates , and manage the status ( Active / Inactive / Closed ). The module also provides date-range filters and reports to view historical opportunity windows , ensuring transparency, traceability, and controlled intake of applications.

9.6.2 Width

• Create / Edit Opportunity
  1. Geography: Zone → Region → Area (cascading drop-downs), plus State / City / District.
  2. Opportunity Details: Opportunity Type (Main / Studio / Service), Capacity (no. of dealer slots), Priority , Notes/Justification.
  3. Open Window: From Date and To Date (business calendar), optional Auto-close on end date.
  4. Ownership: Responsible Role (e.g., DD-ZM / RBM) for visibility and SLA routing.
  5. Status: Draft / Active / Inactive / Closed.
  6. Attachments (optional): Market study, demand assessment, approvals.

9.6.3 Depth

1. Cascading Geography: Selecting a Zone filters Regions ; selecting a Region filters Areas ; State/City/District lists are bound to the chosen Area.
2. Window Logic: An opportunity is Active only within its From–To dates; the system auto- marks Closed on expiry if Auto-close is enabled.
3. Status Lifecycle: o Draft → Active → Inactive/Closed. Inactive hides the location from the public form; Closed retains history.
4. Notifications: When a window is activated or closed , notify mapped DD-ZM/RBM
5. Historical Reporting: o Date filter computes effective windows (open or overlapping) within the selected range and shows who created/edited , timestamps, and notes.

10 F&F Case...............................................................................................................................

The Full & Final (F&F) Settlement process enables the Finance team to close all financial

obligations with a dealer after resignation or termination. Once triggered by Legal, the system consolidates inputs from all departments to capture dues, recoveries, and

clearances. Finance reviews and validates these entries, prepares the final settlement summary, and executes payment or recovery based on the calculated net amount. All

actions, remarks, and proofs are recorded in the system for transparency, and the case is marked as F&F Completed once the transaction and approvals are finalized.

10.1 F&F Settlement Progress Timeline

10.1.1 Functionality Scope

The F&F Settlement Progress Timeline provides a sequential, stage-wise overview of the dealer’s Full & Final (F&F) settlement journey — right from initiation to final completion. It acts as a unified visual tracker for Finance, Legal, DD, and Admin teams, enabling transparent monitoring of all financial closure activities, departmental dependencies, dealer discussions, and documentation milestones.

Each stage dynamically updates in real-time based on workflow actions performed by responsible stakeholders, showing the exact case status and progress across all involved departments.

10.1.2 Width

The timeline integrates all key phases and users involved in the financial closure ecosystem, including:

• DD-Lead / DD-Admin: Initiate the F&F process upon Legal approval of Resignation or Termination.
• Finance: Validate departmental responses, calculate payables/recoverables, initiate discussion with the dealer, and finalize settlement disbursement or recovery.
• Departments (16 Functional Units): Submit financial clearances or pending dues data through their respective interfaces.
• Legal: Verify settlement completion for compliance and record-keeping.

10.1.3 Depth

The timeline comprises six structured stages, each with clearly defined ownership, system actions, and dependencies.

10.1.3.1 F&F Initiated

• Owner: DD-Lead / DD-Admin
• Description: Marks the creation of the F&F case post-approval of Resignation or Termination. System auto-generates the Case Number (e.g., FNF- 2025 - 001 ) and pre-populates dealer details such as name, location, and request type.
• System Actions: o Case record created under Finance module. o Notification sent to Finance and departmental stakeholders. o Status: Completed once initialization is confirmed.

10.1.3.2 Department Responses Received

• Owner: All Functional Departments
• Description: Each department submits its NOC or dues-related information through the integrated F&F clearance form. Departments that owe or are owed amounts mark respective payables/receivables with remarks.
• System Actions: o Progress bar updates with response count (e.g., 12 of 16 Departments Responded ).

o SLA-based reminders triggered for pending responses.
o Timeline stage remains Pending until all NOCs are received or escalated.

10.1.3.3 Finance Final Summary

• Owner: Finance
• Description: The Finance team consolidates all departmental responses, computes total payables, receivables, and deductions, and prepares a comprehensive Settlement Summary Report.
• System Actions: o Auto-calculation using predefined formula: Net Settlement = Total Payables – Total Receivables – Deductions. o Finance reviews and verifies supporting documents. o Work Notes used to raise clarifications to departments or DD-Lead. o Status changes to Pending Dealer Discussion after internal approval.

10.1.3.4 Financial Discussion with Dealer

• Owner: Finance + Legal + DD-Lead
• Description: The Finance and Legal teams review the computed summary with the dealer to confirm payable or recoverable balances. Dealer may be invited to review supporting documentation and validate accuracy.
• System Actions: o Discussion details logged under Work Notes with date and participants. o Dealer confirmation captured in remarks. o Settlement sheet locked for final processing once dealer agreement is confirmed.

10.1.3.5 Full and Final Settlement

10.2.1 Functionality Scope

The Department Responses section serves as a consolidated interface for tracking NOC submissions and financial dues from all departments involved in the dealer’s Full & Final (F&F) settlement. It provides Finance and DD teams with a transparent view of each department’s clearance status, whether the department owes a payment to the dealer ( Payable ) or the dealer owes the department ( Recovery ). This enables complete financial visibility before the final settlement summary is prepared.

10.2.2 Width

This module connects all functional departments (up to 16 units) including Sales, Service, Parts, Finance, Warranty, Marketing, HR, IT, Legal, Logistics, and Quality. Each department inputs its clearance data — marking whether any dues exist — and provides supporting remarks or payable/recovery amounts. The respective department person will login and fill his respective amount.

10.2.3 Depth

• Status Indicators: Each department’s submission is color-coded and categorized as: o 🔴 Dues – Outstanding amount identified. o 🟢 No Dues – Cleared with no financial impact.

o ⚪ Pending – Awaiting departmental response or review.

• Amount Details: When dues are identified, the department specifies the Amount Type (Payable or Recovery) and corresponding Value , which directly contributes to the Finance team’s final calculation matrix.
• They will login with there respective account and fill the details.
• Remarks Section: Every response includes contextual remarks for clarity, such as “Outstanding amount identified” or “Cleared,” ensuring traceable communication between departments and Finance.

11 Finance Dashboard

The Finance Dashboard provides a unified workspace for managing all financial activities related to dealer onboarding and offboarding. It gives Finance users complete visibility

into pending verifications, approved transactions, and Full & Final (F&F) settlements across both Resignation and Termination cases. The dashboard is divided into two key

segments — Onboarding , which focuses on verifying dealer security deposits and initial payments made via RTGS or NEFT, and F&F Settlement , which consolidates all

department-wise responses, calculates final payable or recoverable amounts, and facilitates settlement approvals.

11.1 Finance Dashboard Page

11.1.1 Functionality Scope

The Finance Dashboard serves as the centralized workspace for the Finance team to verify dealer-related financial transactions and settlements — both during onboarding and offboarding processes. It ensures end-to-end visibility of Security Deposit verifications for new dealerships and Final F&F settlements for dealers resigning or terminated, thereby providing financial traceability across the dealership lifecycle.

The dashboard operates in two distinct functional tabs:

• Onboarding: For validating advance payments (Security Deposit, Initial Fees, etc.) submitted by dealers during application onboarding.
• F&F Settlement: For managing Final Settlement workflows upon Resignation or Termination , involving multi-department inputs and Finance validation before closure.

The system provides summarized counters for quick insights — Pending Verification , Verified Payments , Pending F&F Summaries , and Completed F&F — enabling Finance to prioritize action items efficiently.

11.1.2 Width

The Finance Dashboard is cross-functional, connecting the following stages and roles:

• During Onboarding: o Receives dealer payment data (Security Deposit, Bank Details, Transaction ID, Mode of Payment, etc.). o Enables Finance users to verify authenticity of RTGS/NEFT transactions by cross- checking with corporate account statements. o Allows upload of verified transaction proof or remarks in case of mismatch.
• During Offboarding (Resignation / Termination): o Auto-fetches the list of dealers approved for exit by NBH and Legal. o Tracks the F&F Summary preparation status and department responses. o Consolidates financial liabilities, recoverables, or pending clearances. o Generates a unified view of financial closure and triggers completion once all departments respond.

The dashboard integrates with Legal , DD-Admin , and DD-Lead modules to ensure that once a dealer exit is approved, the Finance team receives all relevant data automatically for settlement initiation.

11.1.3 Depth

11.1.3.1 Onboarding – Payment Verification

• Initiation: Dealer payment details (Security Deposit, Mode of Payment, Transaction ID, and Bank Name) are captured during onboarding.
• Verification Process: o Finance validates the transaction against company account records. o Uploaded documents like Payment Receipt or Bank Statement are reviewed. o Finance user confirms verification by entering the verified transaction ID, received date, and remarks.
• System Actions: o On successful verification, payment status updates to Verified , triggering an email + in-app notification to DD-Admin and DD-Lead. o If discrepancies are found, Finance can flag the payment for review with remarks in Work Notes.
• Dashboard Counters: o Pending Verification: Lists all onboarding payments awaiting Finance confirmation. o Verified: Displays successfully validated payments along with transaction logs and verifier details.

11.1.3.2 Offboarding – F&F Settlement Summary

• Trigger: Once Legal uploads the Resignation Acceptance or Termination Letter , the case automatically appears in the Finance Dashboard under F&F Settlement.

• Process Flow:

  1. System collates the Dealer Exit Case (Resignation/Termination) details.
  2. Pulls financial obligations, pending dues, recoverables, and credit balances from connected departments (e.g., Parts, Apparel, DMS, Marketing).
  3. Displays a departmental response tracker (e.g., 16/16 Departments Responded ).
  4. Finance reviews the consolidated data and creates the Final Settlement Summary.
  5. On approval, status changes from Pending Finance Summary to Completed and the record is archived for reporting.

• Work Note & Communication:

  1. Finance can use the Work Notes tab to tag DD-Lead, Legal, or Admin in case clarifications are needed.
  2. Each note gets timestamped and appears under Audit Trail for traceability.
  3. Upon finalization, a system-generated confirmation triggers notification to DD- Admin for closure.

• Automation & Notifications:

  1. SLA reminders alert Finance for pending verifications nearing expiry.
  2. Status changes (Pending → Verified / Completed) are reflected across modules instantly.

11.2 F&F Settlement Module

11.2.1 Functionality Scope

The Full & Final (F&F) Settlement module enables Royal Enfield’s Finance division to execute, validate, and document the final financial closure of any dealer account following Resignation or Termination approval. It consolidates all monetary data — payables, receivables, deductions, and department-wise clearances — into a unified interface for transparent and compliant settlement processing.

The module provides a structured workflow that ensures all dependencies are cleared across departments, settlement calculations are system-validated, and final payouts or recoveries are accurately recorded with bank transaction details. The process is fully integrated with Legal, Dealer Development (DD), and Admin workflows, ensuring that once a dealer exit is approved, the F&F process is automatically triggered within defined SLAs.

11.2.2 Width

The F&F module covers both Resignation and Termination closure workflows, integrating all stakeholders and systems that influence the final settlement outcome.

• Dealer Development (DD-Lead / DD-Admin): Triggers F&F process after Legal uploads the acceptance or termination letter.
• Finance: Leads the overall settlement process, validates departmental inputs, performs reconciliation, and confirms final payment or recovery transactions.
• Departments (16 Functions): Submit NOC and financial inputs through automated task prompts (e.g., Parts, Service, Apparel, HR, Legal, Quality, Marketing, IT, Logistics, etc.).
• Legal: Verifies F&F completion before case closure and maintains compliance documentation.
• Admin: Uploads settlement proof and coordinates with Finance for record finalization.

This ensures that no dealer account is financially closed until all clearances, proofs, and validations are in place.

11.2.3 Depth

11.2.3.1 Case Overview and Summary

Each F&F case is system-generated with a unique ID (e.g., FNF- 2024 - 001 ). Key case metadata displayed includes:

• Dealer name, code, and location
• Termination type (Resignation / Termination)
• Submitted and due dates
• Associated domain and sales/service codes
• Case age and current status ( Pending Finance Review , Completed )

A Net Payable / Receivable Indicator at the top visually represents whether the company owes payment to the dealer or vice versa. For example: Payable to Dealer – ₹9,75,000 indicates a net payout scenario after adjustments.

11.2.3.2 Department-wise Clearance Tracking

This section provides a real-time tracker of department responses and clearances. It includes:

• Progress Bar: Displays total responses received vs. pending (e.g., 12 of 16 departments responded ).
• NOC Statuses: o NOC Submitted – Department confirms zero dues.

o Dues Pending – Department flags financial obligations.
o Pending – Awaiting department review.

• Response Details Table: Lists each department with submitted date, clearance remarks, and any recovery or payable amount.
• Response Guidelines Panel: Summarizes submission protocols and auto-reminder SLAs.

Departments with dues or recovery inputs automatically impact the Receivable / Deduction Summary under Finance Calculation.

11.2.3.3 Financial Calculation Summary

Finance users can view, verify, and edit financial items categorized into three structured sections:

11.2.3.4 Payables to Dealer (Editable)

Represents refundable amounts due from the company to the dealer, such as:

• Security Deposit refund
• Inventory valuation
• Equipment and fixture reimbursements
• Outstanding credit notes

Finance users can add new line items with department tags and descriptions. Each editable record auto-calculates into the total payables panel.

11.2.3.5 Receivables from Dealer (Editable)

Captures outstanding recoverables and pending dues, including:

• Outstanding invoices (Sales / Parts / Service)
• Marketing recoveries
• HR or Finance advances
• Compliance or penalty adjustments Each record can be added, edited, or deleted before final review.

11.2.3.6 Deductions (Editable)

Represents contingent deductions such as:

• Pending warranty claims
• Policy violations
• Miscellaneous settlements

Each item’s description, department, and value feed into the Total Deductions summary.

11.2.3.7 System-Calculated Formula

At the bottom, a dynamic calculation displays:

Net Settlement = Total Payables – Total Receivables – Total Deductions

A positive balance indicates Payable to Dealer ; a negative balance indicates Recovery from Dealer.

11.2.3.8 Settlement Verification Panel

Located on the right side, this panel captures the final transaction details once the Finance review is complete.

Fields include:

• Payment Mode: NEFT / RTGS / Cheque
• Transaction / Reference ID: Corporate transaction number
• Bank Reference Number: Optional for verification
• Settlement Amount & Adjustments: Auto-fetched from calculation summary
• Settlement Date: Date of transfer or adjustment posting
• Verification Remarks: For audit or cross-team comments

Finance can then take one of three workflow actions:

• Approve Settlement: Marks case as “Finance Approved.”
• Request Clarification: Sends query back to DD-Lead or Admin with remarks.
• Reject Settlement: Moves case to “Returned for Correction” with detailed reason.

Each action automatically logs under Audit Trail and triggers email + system notifications.

11.2.3.9 Documents Section

This tab centralizes all artefacts submitted or generated during the F&F process.

It includes:

• Dealer documents (e.g., Resignation Letter , Asset Handover Receipt , Inventory Report , Bank Statement ).
• Uploaded proofs by Finance (e.g., Settlement Proof, Payment Receipt ).
• Legal or DD attachments for traceability.

A drag-and-drop upload zone allows Finance or Admin to attach additional records (PDF, DOC, XLSX, JPG) up to 10 MB each. Each file is logged with:

• File name and type
• Upload date and user
• Download option for audit access

11.2.3.10 Bank Details Tab

Displays dealer bank information to validate payment transfer:

• Account holder name
• Account number
• IFSC and branch name
• Bank name

A system alert prompts the verifier to validate details before disbursing payment: “Bank Verification Required – Please confirm bank account before processing settlement.”

11.2.3.11 Settlement Checklist

A final control checklist ensures financial compliance before marking the case as complete. It includes mandatory checks for:

• Verification of all financial calculations
• Confirmation of bank account details
• Review of all department responses
• Upload of settlement proof
• Entry of accurate transaction information

All checklist points must be validated before the “Approve Settlement” button becomes active.

11.2.4 Work Notes & Communication Flow

• Every clarification, remark, or inter-team discussion is captured through the Work Note feature integrated into the F&F module.
• Finance, DD-Lead, and Legal can tag specific users (e.g., @Admin , @Legal ) to address pending actions.
• Notes are timestamped and visible in the case timeline.
• Work Notes become part of the permanent Audit Trail and ensure transparent communication without relying on emails.
