Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Kind Attention : Mr.Heman C Parekh

Dear Sir,

Sub : Payment terms and the additional scope of work in Order Execution System

This refers to our letter dated February $22^{nd}$ 2001 and the subsequent discussions we had last week by the undersigned and Mr.Neeraj Rathi with you on the additional scope of work and the Change Request in the Order Execution System.

As per our quotation no:ABL/BOM/KS/3P-CR/1dated,february $21^{st}$ 2001, the price of the additional scope and the Change request works out to Rs. $2,83,500.00$(Two Lakhs eighty three thousand and five hundred only). This price itself has been calculated at a substantial discount with a man month rate of Rs.60000 per man month, resulting in an effective man month rate of Rs.40, 500 payable for the additional work by 3P Consultants.

After our discussions, we have further reduced the same to Rs.2, 0000.00 (Rupees two lakhs only), considering the long term associations we intend to have with 3P consultants. We would like to inform you that this has been done as a very special case, with the changes being carried out in the module, at a rate far below the break even for the man efforts it would require.

As per our discussions, we would make the following changes in the payment terms for the Order Execution System.

  • Total order value (including the Change Request and additional scope) : 10,25,000.00
  • Advance paid : 1,98,000.00
  • Payable against Design, documentation : 1,85,000.00 (as per the P.O)
  • Against testing, implementation : 2,23,300.00

30 days from the date of implementation : 2,23,300.00

60 days from the date of implementation : 2,23,300.00

90 days from the date of implementation : 25,000.00

We have enclosed the invoice for the advance received Rs.1,85,000 and the invoice for the amount Rs.1,85,000.00 payable for the design documentation submission for your kind perusal.

We hope the payment terms are in line with your acceptance and we request you kindly expedite payment for the installment due for the design documentation at the earliest.

Thanking you and assuring you our best services at all times.

Dear Mangesh

Order Execution System

This has reference to our recent telephonic discussions re: outstanding payments against our revised order dt. Sept. 14, 2000 (-amendment of our original order dt. Aug. 24, 2000), valued a total amount of Rs. 8.25 Lakhs.

Subsequently, vide your letter no. ASL/ 3P/ OES/ PT/ 01 dt March 16, 2001, you requested that the order value be raised to Rs. 10.25 Lakhs (all inclusive), in view of the changed requirements. We are, hereby, pleased to accept your request and revise the total, all inclusive, order value to Rs. 10.25 Lakhs. All other terms and conditions, mentioned in our handwritten orders (original dated Aug. $24^{th}$ and the revised one dated Sept. $14^{th}$) remain the same.

Against this total order value of Rs. 10.25 Lakhs, we have so far made following payments:

This leaves a balance of Rs. 6.95 Lakhs yet to be paid, for which, we have received your Invoice No: ASL/ ERP/ 09/ 01 dated $10^{th}$ Sept. 2001.

Against above mentioned invoice, enclosed find our Cheque No: 522437 dated 22 Sept. 2001, for Rs. 2.0 Lakhs. This leaves a balance of Rs. 4.95 Lakhs, which we hope to pay...

in stages, as the installation/ implementation and debugging continues over the next few weeks.

At this stage, I wish to bring to your notice the following:

  • Some problems were found during the last visit of Yogesh on $4^{th}$/ $5^{th}$ Oct. Of these, he could rectify only some while he was here. As far the rest were concerned, he went back and sent us a "patch" on $16^{th}$ Oct.
  • At your request, we installed this patch ourselves and thereafter found some more problems, which were e-mailed to Neeraj on $19^{th}$ Oct (two emails were sent to him). He sent a detailed reply on the same day. However, we are not satisfied with his explanations with regards to some of the points raised by us. We have brought this to Neeraj's notice vide our email dt. Oct. 22 (yesterday). I enclose herewith all our email exchanges in a tabular manner, so that you can easily understand what we are trying to convey.
  • In our second email sent to Neeraj on the afternoon of Oct. 19, we have raised the issue of the "Proposal". I have also explained this to you over the phone.

As a Marketing Manager, you will understand that no proposal/ quotation ever gets accepted by any client at the first shot itself. As discussions/ negotiations continue, many "revisions" take place. These could include

  • Scope of work
  • Delivery period
  • Total order value
  • Billing cycle (stages of payment)
  • Other commercial terms and conditions etc. etc.

You are aware that, this is precisely what happened in case of your own first/ original "proposal" for the Order Execution System!

Now imagine that had you used the same "proposal module" which you have delivered to us and which you insist that we use! In such a case, you would never have been able to get/ execute our order! It is therefore imperative that the system allows...

  • any no. of revisions/ amendments of a proposal before generation/ finalization of a Sales Order (SON)
  • revision/ amendment in any of the items mentioned earlier

In fact the system must have the **flexibility to change/ amend any item/ terms, even after a formal SON has been released/ confirmed by the client – exactly what I am doing right now thru this letter, viz: agreeing to revise upward the total order value from Rs. 8.25 Lakhs to Rs. 10.25 Lakhs.

At this stage, I would also request you to ensure that the following documentations are delivered to us, as soon as ready:

  • Data Dictionary
  • Data flow Diagram (upto final payment stage)
  • Decision Table
  • Statement of processes
  • User Manual/ Operating Manual
  • Source code
