How to Re-cost Selected Orders in GDE in Xvantage for Associates

Overview:

This article explains how to re-cost selected orders in GDE Discount Management using Xvantage for Associates (X4A). The re-cost process removes existing ACOP associations from selected orders and submits them to X4A for re-evaluation against available bids and pricing agreements.

Process:

Go to My Apps and open Okta.
In Okta, search for X4A and open it. Xvantage for Associates will open in a new tab.
From the left navigation menu, select Revenue, then click GDE deals & discounts.
- Alternative: You can access GDE directly using the standalone URL: gds.ingrammicro.com.
If accessing GDE through the standalone URL, select Discount Management from the left navigation menu.
Enter a vendor name in the Vendor field.
Select the appropriate vendor from the search results.
Click Search.
Select one or more orders from the results table.
Click Delink & Recost.
Enter a reason for the re-cost request.
Click Yes to confirm.
Review the confirmation message and click Okay.
The system submits the request and generates a request ID for tracking purposes.
The tool automatically removes ACOPS from the selected orders.
It sends a re-cost request to Exception Management in X4A.
If a valid bid is available in X4A, the system applies it to the orders. An approval message appears in GDE. X4A removes the orders from the exceptions queue.

If a valid bid is not available in X4A, the orders remain on-hold. Unsuccessful re-costing orders require manual follow-up. A deactivated message appears in GDE.
