1 Conventions Used in this Document

• Keyboard sequences you press are shown in bold. Example: “Press Tab to move to the next field.”

• Links that display in blue on the Cisco Commerce homepage, whether underlined or not, are

underlined in the user guide. Example: “On the Items tab, click Find Products.”

• Menu or sub-menu paths are separated by a “>”. Example: “Select Intended Use > Managed

Service.”

• Tabs you click have no special formatting. Example: “Click the Items tab.”

• Buttons you click on the screen are shown in bold. Example: “Click Continue.”

• The labels on radio buttons, drop-down menus, checkboxes, and fields that correspond have no

special formatting. Examples: “Click the Yes radio button.” “Click the Service Program drop-down

menu.”

• When there are multiple ways of accomplishing a specific task, preferred methods are highlighted

as follows:

The blue circle around a lower case “i” means reader take note. Notes contain helpful

suggestions or reference to material not covered in the manual.

For example:

Best Practice: Search for an address before creating a new one. Add a shipping

address only if the address is not found.

• Active hyperlinks to other documents or within the same document are shown in blue (RGB: 0, 0,

255) and underlined. Example: “Additional information is available in the Getting Started with Cisco

Commerce User Guide.” or “See Creating an Order for more details.”

• In sections describing a process that starts from somewhere other than the Cisco Commerce

homepage, a process flow indicates how to get there. For example, you add products to a quote in

the Quote tab, which means you would have already created the quote through the Deals & Quotes

header tab. The following illustration would therefore display at the beginning of the Add Products to

a Quote section.

1.1 Order Support Enhancements

1.1.1 ChatBot

ChatBot is an AI assistant in core CCW. ChatBot is a quick customer service interaction that has the

intelligence to answer some of the more commonly asked Order related questions. It will specifically

support order validations, order search, discount validations, contract validations and order status.

ChatBot will be integrated with CCW Change Management documents to provide answers to frequently

asked questions, and direct users to right documentation based on the context.

1.2 Special Processes or Programs

1.2.1 Global Customer Support Process

The Global Customer Support Process (GCSP) is a program to allow a Partner to submit an Order for a

specific End Customer where the Partner does not have physical presence in that country. Partners

must register for GCSP and meet qualification criteria. End Users must be registered as GCSP eligible.

Once registered, Partners can then sell to a limited set of Cisco Global End Users without obtaining

Global Certification. The GCSP eligibility page is available here. Please contact the GCSP Program

Team at GCSP@cisco.com with any questions.

During Order creation, CCW will check if the Partner and End Customer have GCSP eligibility, then

check if the Partner is using the correct Bill To ID (BID) aligned with the GCSP registered End User.

When mismatches are discovered along the way, warning messages will display as you build the

Order.

PRO TIP: As you create your Order and select your Billing Information and End Customer, select “Copy

Address to: Shipping Address”, then select Continue. When a GCSP mismatch is present, the warning

GCSP message will appear and you will not be able to continue until it is resolved. If you do not select

Copy Address to Shipping Address then you do select continue, the warning message will appear later

in follow on tabs and to resolve it you will have to recreate the Order.

Cisco.com | Privacy Statement | Trademarks Provide Feedback on this Training Resource

You will see three main warning messages regarding GCSP as follows.

Use Case 1:

When the customer is GCSP eligible, and CCW knows of a different Bill To ID to use, you will see this

warning message:

“The Bill to Id does not match the Ship to/Install Site Country. Please utilize the following Bill to IDs in

order to submit a compliant order (Bill to IDs will be listed within this message)”

Use Case 2:

When the customer is GCSP eligible, and CCW cannot locate a good Bill To ID to suggest, you will see

this warning message:

“Please use a Bill-To-ID with [Insert Operating Unit] Operating Unit. If you do not have a Bill To ID with

this Operating Unit, please work with your Partner Account Manager or contact our Customer Partner

Support Team.”

Use Case 3:

When the customer is GCSP eligible, and CCW identifies the Ship To Country/Install Site Country as

not yet approved for GCSP, you will see this message:

“Ship To /Install Site Country is not yet approved as GCSP. Please contact Partner Account Manager

for the Ship To/Install Site Country approval.”

When you change the Billing Information, you will see a “Suggested” icon to guide you to more

appropriate Bill Tos.

2 Cisco Commerce Ordering Workflow

To understand how the ordering module fits within Cisco Commerce and the Cisco sales structure, see

the Getting Started with Cisco Commerce User Guide.

Using the ordering functionality, you can create standalone orders, place orders created from quotes,

order services for previously purchased products, renew software subscriptions, view and pay invoices,

view the status of orders, and manage returns.

Ordering Workflow

2.1 Creating an Order

In Cisco Commerce, you can create an order in two ways:

1. Converting an approved quote to an order referencing a deal ID

To convert a quote to an order, you must have access to the quote before you can convert it to an

order. You can either:

• Convert a quote that you created to an order or,

• Convert a quote that was shared with you to an order using the Access Key

2. Creating a standalone order with no reference to a deal ID

Create a Standalone Order

To create a standalone order, you do not need to have a deal ID. You can:

• Create standalone new order

• Clone (or copy) a new order from an existing order

Once the order is created and the order number or name and the web order ID number display at the

top of the page, the process for populating order details and submission is the same no matter which of

the above methods was used to begin.

2.2 Using Options on the Orders Tab

In Cisco Commerce, the Orders tab allows you to:

• Create an order

• Access shared order

• View Smart Account Orders

• View all or specific orders

• Tag orders

• Manage invoices

2.3 Limited Access to the Orders Tab

Depending on your access levels, you may have limited view of the Cisco Commerce Orders tab.

2.3.1 Partner-initiated Customer Access

Partners who have a Partner-initiated Customer Access (PICA) contract with Cisco can grant PICA

user privileges to end customers, providing limited access to Cisco Commerce.

If you are a PICA user, you will have access to limited functionality in the orders tab. You can:

• View submitted orders (no unsubmitted orders display)

• View only the Items and Shipping & Install tabs in an order

• Use only the export and print common utilities for an order, other options will display but are not

enabled

2.3.2 Internet Commerce Agreement

If you have not signed an Internet Commerce Agreement (ICA), you will not be authorized to submit

orders and will receive notification in both:

• Order Initiation page

• Review and Submit tab

It is possible to create an order without signing the ICA, however the Submit Order button will be

disabled on the Review and Submit tab.

3 Converting Quotes to Orders

You can convert your own quote to an order or a quote shared with you to an order. When you do so,

standard contractual discounts will apply to the order and any nonstandard ones that are approved on

the deal or quote.

If you make any changes to the items on the order, and need any nonstandard discount, then make the

appropriate changes to the quote and submit it for re-approval. A quote to be converted to an order

would need be resubmitted for approval in the following cases:

• If a configuration is replaced with another configuration in the same product family, but the new

price exceed variance limits

• If a configuration is replaced with another configuration outside of the original product family

• If services are added or removed from another family, other than what was originally approved

• If parts of the configuration is added or removed, other than in the original product family

• If needed parts are removed and defined as a spare

Best Practice: Accessing the Order page with a deal ID is recommended for deals

associated with a Reusable Nonstandard Discount (RNSD) without trade-in products.

If you are placing product lease orders, select Lease and enter or select the Cisco

Capital bill-to address and contact on the Quote tab. Product and service lease order

capabilities are available through Cisco Commerce Orders tab.

3.1 Converting a Quote to an Order

To create an order from an approved quote, complete the following steps:

1. From the Cisco Commerce homepage, click Create Order from the Orders tab. The Order with

Deal ID radio button is selected by default.

2. Click the Deal ID field and enter the appropriate deal ID.

3. If the deal was shared with you, enter the Access Key information from the email notification.

3.3.1.1 Managed Service Order from a Managed Service Quote

You can create a managed service order by converting a managed service quote. Managed service

indicates that the deployment of your order is proactively monitored by a contractual provider.

Note: You can only view and change the contractual provider information for

managed service orders on this page. This information will not display anywhere else

in the Cisco Commerce Order process when a quote is converted to an order.

If Managed Service is the deal category on the original quote that is being converted, the Managed

Service Order radio button will default to Yes and cannot be changed. The information about

contractual provider defaults from the quote.

quote, estimate, or order level.

If you ask Cisco Commerce to automatically add services to your order, they will be chosen based on

the following:

• Services will be attached based on the service preferences set within the order

• If no services are set within the order, then preferences from your My Profile and Preferences will

be used

• If selected preferences are not applicable (or not set), the system attaches services based on

existing service attach rules, such as, products being ordered, service program availability,

certifications, Bill-to and install site and others

To set the service options in the items sub-tab (these will override any preferences that were set under

your My Profile and Preferences), complete the following steps:

6.4.2 Adding Fixed Scope Consultancy SKUs

You can quote and order Fixed Scope Consultancy services only in Cisco Commerce. There are two

types of Fixed Scope Consultancy services:

• Network Optimization

These services are fixed price, fixed scope, and fixed duration. Therefore, Fixed Scope Consultancy

services will always be purchased at net price. To add technical services see Adding Services.

6.4.3 Adding a License SKU

SKUs that begin with L or LIC and end with = are license SKUs. Cisco Commerce offers two

software/license delivery methods: electronic delivery (e-delivery) and physical delivery.

For example:

Cisco Commerce Orders Tab Create Order

Order Page: Items

Tab

Cisco Commerce Order User Guide

Last Updated: 17 March 2020 Page 58 of 143

Cisco.com | Privacy Statement | Trademarks Provide Feedback on this Training Resource

• License SKUs with e-delivery begin with the letter “L”, example: L-3PTY-DL-100K=

If you choose an L SKU, the license is sent electronically regardless of the indicated delivery

method.

• License SKUs with physical delivery begin with the letters “LIC”, example: LIC-3PTY-DL-100K=

If you choose an LIC SKU, which is physical delivery, the system looks to the delivery option

indicated. If e-delivery is the indicated delivery method, then the system overrides the LIC SKU and

delivers the license electronically.

Note: Add a license following the same directions as adding any other items.

Pay attention to choosing the SKUs and indicating the appropriate delivery method.

To change the delivery method of a license SKU, see Changing the Delivery Method

of a License SKU.

The same rules that govern software license delivery are applicable for e-software delivery. For

electronic delivery, you must provide a shipping email address or an end customer email address.

6.4.3.1 Changing the Delivery Method of a License SKU

To manage the delivery method for license SKUs, complete the following steps:

1. For licenses that are slated for physical delivery, choose a preferred carrier on the Shipping and

Install tab, (only if applicable for the particular order). To set shipping information, see Setting the

Shipping and Installation Information.

2. Click Edit corresponding to the Delivery Method column. The Change Line Shipping Options dialog

box displays.

Order Page: Shipping and Install Tab -Edit Delivery Method

3. If the line item is scheduled for e-delivery only, complete the following steps:

• Enter the shipping/end customer email and any customer reference information. Separate

multiple email addresses with commas.

• To make all line items eligible for electronic delivery, check the Apply to Group checkbox in the

Change Line Shipping Options dialog box.

• To update the delivery method, click Update.

• Alternatively, you can also update this information in the line items list next to the corresponding

item.

Change Line Shipping Options

4. If the line item is scheduled for physical delivery only, complete the following steps:

• To update the delivery method, click Update.

5. If a chosen line item is eligible for e-delivery or physical delivery, the option to change the service

level from either e-delivery or physical delivery is available.

• Click the radio button (either Electronic or Physical) corresponding to the appropriate option and

add the necessary email and customer reference information.

• To update the delivery method, click Update.

6.4.3.2 Changing From Physical to Electronic Delivery without Changing the

Discount

To change a license or software delivery from physical to electronic delivery without changing the

discount, complete the following steps:

1. Begin with an open order that already contains an LIC-…= SKU.

2. On the Order page, Items tab, click the Add Product Item field and enter the same SKU, except

beginning with L, as opposed to LIC. The drop-down menu displays matching options after you

enter a few characters.

See Reviewing Discounts for more information on discounts in Cisco Commerce Orders.

6.4.4 Adding a Spare

You can add multiple spares to the order by uploading an Excel spreadsheet (see Adding Multiple

Spares via Excel). Alternatively, you can add spares individually by entering the appropriate SKU (see

Adding Individual Spares).

Spares have an = sign at the end of their SKU.

6.4.4.1 Adding Multiple Spares via Excel

The Cisco Commerce Orders tab enables you to add multiple line items by uploading an Excel

spreadsheet containing product numbers, quantities, and durations. Each line on the Excel file is added

as a major line on the order and therefore the system is not able to identify which items would be a

minor line of a different item. No validation is performed on uploaded items.

6.7 Adding Services

There are various types of Cisco service offerings:

Technical services are always attached to hardware or software product. They can either be ordered

at the point of sales (in Cisco Commerce) or purchased separately as a service only line (either in

Cisco Commerce or CCW-R).

Note: Standard durations for technical services can be between 12 and 60 months.

However, multi-year discounts for standard orders are not available for service

durations greater than 36 months.

Advanced Services (AS): Each type of Advanced Service has different deliverables, delivery model,

as well as ordering rules. Not all are orderable within Cisco Commerce.

• AS Transaction (AS-T): These cannot be ordered within Cisco Commerce, you must fax this

order.

• AS Subscription (AS-S): These can be ordered within Cisco Commerce. Refer Advanced

Services – Subscription Ordering QRG – Partners and Distributors

• AS-Fixed (AS-F): These services have a fixed scope, fixed price, and fixed cost and are

orderable with Cisco Commerce. For more information on ordering ASF SKUs in Cisco

Commerce Orders tab, see Adding Fixed Scope Consultancy SKUs.

You can add services to items as part of the product ordering process. Services for previously ordered

products can also be ordered separately as a service-only order. See Creating Service Only Orders.

Cisco Commerce Order User Guide

Last Updated: 17 March 2020 Page 72 of 143

Cisco.com | Privacy Statement | Trademarks Provide Feedback on this Training Resource

Best Practices: Add services as part of the product configuration within your quote or

order, rather than as a separate service-only line item. To create an order for service-

only line items, see Creating Service Only Orders.

For more information on Cisco services, you can reference:

http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/services/index.html

6.7.1 Adding Services to Items in the Configuration

There are two ways to edit services using the Services Option widget. You can attach services at the

Header level by clicking on Edit Services on your order. The Service Level you select will apply to all

selected lines of your configuration. Use this option for basic Service Level changes. You can also click

Edit/Remove Service on an individual line of your configuration. Use this option for more complex

Service Level changes.

You can attach Services at the Header level if you wish to apply the service level across all selected

lines of the configuration in the cart. However, because preferences in the cart are not filtered by

Product lines, the Service level may or may not successfully apply to each line. You should verify that

each line of your configuration has the correct Service level applied before proceeding with your order.

1. Place a checkmark next to the desired SKUs before selecting Edit Services from the More

dropdown.

2. Select/Edit Service Level

6.17.2 Adding Ultimate Consignee Details

To comply with U.S. federal regulations and track all shipped products to their ultimate install site, Cisco

must capture ultimate consignee (UC) information for all orders (with at least one shippable good) that

are being physically exported from Cisco (US).

Before submitting orders, you are required to populate the UC Address and UC Type fields. UC

Address will default to the Ship To address and a separate entry will be required for each Ship To on an

order. UC Type will be defaulted to Reseller. You will have the option of editing either of these fields. In

addition, in the Review and Submit tab you will need to select an explicit agreement checkbox to allow

Cisco to use the UC information displayed on your order (see Submitting the Order).

Order Page: Shipping and Install Tab – Ultimate Consignee

Note: This information ensures accurate UC reporting, and you are required to

populate the UC information regardless of your region. Non-compliance with the UC

reporting requirements carries potential fees and penalties.

To add UC information, complete the following steps:

1. Click Add Address in the Ultimate Consignee Address section. The Address Search dialog box

displays.

6.17.3 Managing Shipping Groups

From the Shipping Groups section of the Shipping and Install tab, you can:

• Create and rename a shipping group (see Creating a Shipping Group)

• Move items among different shipping groups (see Moving Items Between Shipping Groups)

• Delete a shipping group (see Deleting a Shipping Group)

6.17.3.1 Creating a Shipping Group

The system automatically creates a Default Shipping group, with the addresses defaulting from the

order header information. Newly added items are automatically assigned to this default shipping group.

You would create a new shipping group to provide different shipping or install site information for lines

within an order.

Best Practice:

• Fixed Scope Consultancy products (SKUs that begin with ASF) should be in their

own unique shipping group with the install site contact information for the Fixed

Scope Consultancy service correctly identified. It is likely that this information will

not be the same as the product install site information. See Adding Fixed Scope

Consultancy SKUs.

• If you create a new shipping group and move only the Fixed Scope Consultancy

products to the new group, then the shipping preference, routing option, and

shipping service options will not be required. Note that this is applicable to

service-only orders as well.

• EXCEPTION: In cases where you add hardware AND a Fixed Scope Consultancy

SKU to an order, and in the same shipping group (see Moving Items Between

Shipping Groups), system will require the shipping preference, routing option, and

shipping service options for the hardware product.

• Place remanufactured and new products in separate shipping groups.

To create a new shipping group, complete the following steps:

1. From the Shipping Groups section, click Create New Shipping Group. The Create New Shipping

Group dialog box displays.

5. Repeat these steps as necessary to create the required shipping groups.

6. Review the shipping group information. The default addresses display in the Shipping Group

Addresses section. Change or copy addresses as previously indicated (see Adding or Changing the

Shipping Address and Contact).

Best Practice: Name the shipping group based on the logical choice of grouping, for

example: purchase order, install site country, or end customer.

To change the name of a shipping group, complete the following steps:

1. Click the edit icon next to the group name. Change Group Name dialog box displays.

7 Using a Reusable Nonstandard Discount

A Cisco Account Manager (AM) might provide a Reusable Nonstandard Discount (RNSD) to a partner.

Unlike regular quotes that have to be collaborated, you can use an RNSD directly in Cisco Commerce

after the Cisco AM provides you the deal ID and approved discounts.

Best Practice: Reference the RNSD deal ID at the beginning of the order process.

However, if your order will include Try and Buy, trade-in items, and/or distribution

fulfillment, you must start with a quote. See the Cisco Commerce Deals and Quotes

User Guide for information on applying an RNSD to a quote. These must be provided

to you by a Cisco AM.

Note that you cannot search for RNSDs using Cisco Commerce Search options.

Only Cisco sales teams can create an RNSD. Once approved, a Cisco AM must communicate the deal

ID and discount information to you so the order can be created with the appropriate discounts.

To create an order that references an RNSD, complete the following steps:

• Create an order with a deal ID (see Converting Quotes to Orders). Enter the RNSD deal ID

provided by the Cisco AM in the Deal Id field on the initial Order page and click Continue.

Create an Order Page: RNSD Deal ID

Note: You can apply discounts to spare equivalents. See Adding a Spare. For

example, if an RNSD is set up for WS-C6509-E, the discount will be applied on both

WS-C6509-E and WS-C6509-E=.

The system will display warnings and provide explanations when the RNSD is

consumed, not in approved status, expired, not migrated to EDMS, not an RNSD, or

the deal ID is not found.

1. Once the RNSD is applied, follow the standard steps for ordering by entering all necessary

information (including any additional SKUs) and submit the order (see Verifying the Order Initiation

Page Details).

Depending on how the Cisco AM sets up the RNSD, you may see one of two things:

Cisco Commerce Order User Guide

Last Updated: 17 March 2020 Page 109 of 143

Cisco.com | Privacy Statement | Trademarks Provide Feedback on this Training Resource

• Discounts may auto-apply to approved line items (products or service).

• An editable discount field will display where the discount information should be entered.

If the discount entered is greater than the amount provided by the AM, an error message displays. If

this occurs, you should contact the AM to confirm the agreed-upon discount and try again.

If the product or service is not included on the RNSD, only the standard contractual discount will auto-

populate. You should contact the Cisco AM if you believe the items should be receiving a discount not

reflected on the order or quote.

8 Creating Service Only Orders

You can create a service-only order within Cisco Commerce by either creating a standalone order, or

converting an approved quote to an order. How the quote was created will determine the exact steps

needed to complete the service only order. See the Cisco Commerce Service Only Quick Reference

Guide for step-by-step instructions on how to detach, and subsequently order, services.

For quote-converted orders, if you detach services from your order after May 22, 2016, those service

lines will contain all necessary product information and will be automatically added to the original quote.

You can then order those services separately at a later time without having to search for the original

product information (e.g., serial numbers, sales order numbers). See the Detached Services User

Guide for more information.
