Customer 360 (tdsmi1500m000)

Use this session to view, maintain, and create sold-to business partner-related data. With this session, LN provides an overview of customer information and enables an account manager to easily perform multiple customer-related tasks.

In a company, account managers are responsible for maintaining relations with sold-to business partners, also referred to as customers, accounts, or trade relations. They spend a lot of time on handling business partner requests and proposals. Therefore, they must have a good insight in the status of the sold-to business partners they are responsible for. Because this session gives a quick overview of sold-to business partner information and easy access to sold-to business partner-related data, account managers are supported in their daily tasks of handling business partner requests and proposals in a flexible and correct way.

How to use the Customer 360 (tdsmi1500m000) session
