ACC - Inventory Removal

The new Inventory component which is being deployment on May 29 will fix an important error in the current tool (Autodesk Online system (https://autodesk.starttest.com/).

 Last year, when the system changed on July 16 a resulting issue was that ACCs where unable to request inventory for a test unless:
• The distributor held at least 1 of that particular test OR
• The centre had previously delivered the test
• To resolve this issue 1 piece of test inventory was allocated to all ACC distributor account for free and with Engage all distributors have maintained a level of at least 1 test inventory per exam since then.
 
Changes with the new release:
• Distributors will no longer have to maintain a level of 1 inventory per exam
• ACCs at all levels will be able to see the full list of available exam at all times

Free inventory:
• Alongside this fix, the free inventory which was allocated to all distributors to resolve the will be removed from each distributor account by the system provider,   ITS, on June 3.
• Where ITS is unable to remove 1 test inventory per exam then Engage will add this to your next monthly invoice.
• Why does the free inventory have to be removed?
• The inventory was given to all distributors for free, so if this is then allocated to an ACC a test delivery charge will be incurred by Engage but no payment was received from the distributor.
• As every distributor has been maintaining 1 package this will bring most test package levels back to zero.
• If ITS is unable to remove 1 inventory per test, because this has been allocated to a centre then Engage will add this to your next monthly invoice.

What do I need to prepare my distributor account?
• No action is required.
• ACCs will see no change to their inventory levels.
