Process Name | classical preorder | Actors | Producer, Retailer | Description | In this process the retailer orders his products in advance of the season and the production process. The selection of the products is done manually, as people say 'with the finger-tips'. Between order and delivery a period of some month is without any communication. The invoicing normally is charge-on-delivery based but can also be a consignment/concession model. | Activities | | Reference to the related ebBP | http://www.moda-ml.net/ebiz-retail/repository/ebbp/v2013-1/en/ebBP_classicalpreorder-1_2013-1.xml |
