• How do I know which AVEVA SW offers apply to specific segments or value propositions?
The EcoStruxure Plant Launch Book has information on which AVEVA SW fits in each segment as well as material and content to plan
and execute a deployment. There is also specific segment training available that was given during country sales workshops. See

Frequently Asked Questions / Key Topics (3)
• Whom do I contact in AVEVA for support?
By country, SE has set up Single Points of Contacts (SPOCs) to support you on topics between SE and AVEVA. They are in contact
with SE Regional Engagement Leader and AVEVA Engagement Leader. See In-Matrix: AVEVA SW Single Points of Contact,
Process Automation: AVEVA SW Support and Tracking and AVEVA: Schneider Electric Engagement Leader Role Overview slides.
• Can I promote AVEVA products that are not SE SW heritage (e.g. AVEVA Everything 3D, AVEVA.Net, etc.)
If during strategic account planning, specific heritage AVEVA SW are identified as a fit, then – with previous agreements from the regional SE
Engagement leader – these may be sold via Sales Agent.

AVEVA SW “Pass Through” Subcontractor Opportunities
• SE may be the booking entity for AVEVA SW opportunities (~90%+ AVEVA SW by value) by mutual agreement
where AVEVA cannot be, due to localization requirements, legal entity constraints or at AVEVA’s request.
Typically, this is due to AVEVA not having a local booking entity or by customer’s request.
• Requirements
The SE Gross Margin / AVEVA discount is 6% for the SE administration costs, local taxes and general financing costs
One-off project related insurances or project financial instruments may be required (e.g., project performance guarantees, etc. are
not included in the administration costs). If a specific instrument is required, it must be requested by AVEVA and quoted by SE for
inclusion in projects costs before the CPP/CQA approvals.
All T&Cs are “back-to-back”, which means that AVEVA accepts the full liability of the “pass through”, including any project slippage
or financial instruments. T&Cs cannot be negotiated without AVEVA legal team review of the conditions.
AVEVA is responsible for all customer engagements, project management and payments. “Pass through” orders are “pay when
paid”, which means that AVEVA receives payment once SE receives payment from the end user. Any cost not initially budgeted
requires Project Manager’s approval before it get incurred by SE.
• Process
AVEVA will request the SE local entity for a “pass through” with a proposed scope and T&C’s to be provided to the customer
AVEVA Delegation of Authority (DoA) approvals are sufficient for SE country / PA DoA reviews unless they violate the SE Platinum
Rules, in which case the proper SE country / PA escalation process must be followed

SA&MCTA AVEVA SW Sales Agent Claims

AVEVA SW Account Planning and Opportunity Reviews
• At the beginning of the SE fiscal year, the in-matrix SE country operations including Country Targeted Accounts
(CTA), out-of-matrix Process Automation including Targeted Accounts, and Strategic Accounts & Multi-Country
Targeted Accounts (SA&MCTA) will complete Customer Platforming and Account Planning with the local
AVEVA Distributor(s) and/or AVEVA Regional SE Engagement Leader
• Following this, a minimum monthly cadence will be held with relevant SE opportunity leaders to review plans
and opportunities (monitor progress, raise issues and identify next steps) for in-matrix, out-of-matrix and
SA&MCTA with the outcome being to update the following opportunity information in SE bFO for SE
opportunity leaders and AVEVA Salesforce.com for the AVEVA Regional SE Engagement Leaders:
SE: Confirm opportunity is tagged as Sales Agent using the Value Chain Player section
AVEVA: Confirm relevant commercial influence by SE
AVEVA: Confirmation of participating partners and their roles
BOTH: Confirmation of expected sales order value

• AVEVA has provided rules of engagement principles to their distributors by which we will both abide
• A summary is below, but please see the AVEVA SW Playbook folder for the full list of principles
1. SE and AVEVA have commercial agreements in place. Subcontractor (in which the AVEVA SW is sub-contracted via SE as prime
contractor) or Sales Agent (in which the AVEVA SW is sold via AVEVA or appointed AVEVA Channel partner supported by SE).
2. SE and AVEVA distributors must agree on the accounts where they want to jointly engage (i.e. account platforming and planning).
3. All communication regarding customers between SE and the AVEVA distributors is confidential and should be treated as such.
4. Any opportunity that SE brings to an AVEVA distributor which is agreed to be a new opportunity on which they will jointly work will be SE’s
opportunity. Any activity at that account will be in conjunction with SE.
5. It is expected that the AVEVA Distributor and SE work together to resolve conflicts, but unresolved issues can be escalated to the AVEVA
Channel Manager and the SE Single Point of Contact (SPOC).
6. SE and AVEVA distributors will meet monthly to review accounts, opportunities, additions, deletions, targets, agreed actions and renewals
in the next 90 days for AVEVA SW sourced via SE.
7. SE and the AVEVA distributors will work together in agreed joint accounts to articulate the EcoStruxure and\or AVEVA SW value
proposition to the customer, as appropriate.
8. There will be no AVEVA SW activity at any SE jointly agreed targeted account from the AVEVA distributor without the involvement or
knowledge of SE. There will be no AVEVA SW activity at any AVEVA targeted account from the SE team without the involvement or
knowledge of the AVEVA team.
9. SE and AVEVA distributors will agree on reasonable times for notice and to respond to requests, including quotes, special price requests,
sales support, technical support, training and proposals.

AVEVA SW Price List
• List price for many AVEVA SW (outside of AVEVA-heritage SW, Avantis, OaSYS, SCADA, Pipeline, SimSci and
Spiral) is available in the AVEVA Software Team Sales & Marketing Portal
Select the Order Fulfillment menu and then Price Lists
• NOTE: For exclusive offers (e.g. Wonderware), please contact the local AVEVA distributor for market-level list
prices without discounting as this pricing must be used rather than list pricing
Note that the price given should not put SE at a disadvantage compared to competitors
• If so, it should be reviewed by the AVEVA distributor and if not addressed, a Special Pricing Request should be raised
• Mark Bongiovanni created a step-by-step introduction to AVEVA for SE sales that incorporates much of the

• The latest list of in-matrix SE country operations contacts are located in Box at
https://schneider-electric.box.com/s/vvocnq2p0oy5l0a7sc7xpugs6ys4ul1f
The Industry Software Leader (AVEVA SW Single Points of Contact) are listed in column BF
• Software BDMs actively promote AVEVA Software offer in the region to make sure we’ll keep growing multi-
segment EcoStruxure Plant with AVEVA Software business for the in-matrix SE country operations
• Software BDMs also improve the engagement between SE country operations and AVEVA or AVEVA
Distributors across the region promoting workshops, pipeline reviews, coaching sales teams and managing
carefully the key AVEVA SW opportunities are key successes factors for this role
1. Make pre-sales, project architecture and proposal requests through the AVEVA or AVEVA distributor (for
established relationships) or the Regional SE Engagement Leader (for newer relationships)
• Note that there must be a properly tagged opportunity in bFO that is qualified with relevant customer information, project information,
requirements, commercial terms and conditions and any other information that SE believes AVEVA will need, or as reasonably requested
by AVEVA, to properly understand the request
• Please provide a minimum of three (3) days to respond with sufficient notice to prepare (i.e. notice period should be commensurate with
complexity of the request)
2. The responsible individual will engage with SE to provide support, include additional AVEVA or AVEVA
distributor personnel (e.g. TSCs, products sales, etc.), help develop a strategy and enter the opportunity into
AVEVA’s CRM (if appropriate)
3. The responsible individual will continue to monitor and track the opportunity, progressing it through its
various stages to closure, working collaboratively with his/her SE counterpart
• There are Two (2) Use Cases for entering AVEVA SW opportunities into bFO*
Opportunities with AVEVA SW that will leverage the Subcontractor Agreement
Opportunities with AVEVA SW that will leverage the Sales Agent Agreement
• SE will use bFO as the tracking tool for all opportunities (AVEVA SW and otherwise) and will be the starting
point for all other related processes (if it’s not entered in bFO, it does not exist!). Please note the following
The opportunity should be created more than 30 days before the claim
The claim should be made less than 60 days after the opportunity is won
The claims should not be grouped with other claims and should be identified individually
The claim should have the end user listed as the Account and not the System integrator
For Sales Agent, the opportunity close date should roughly match when the PO was sent to AVEVA\AVEVA Distributor
• The SE Reference Number from the Opportunity in bFO will be used as the Opportunity ID and also be entered
into the AVEVA CRM System
This will form the common reference for all pipeline review activities
*During 2018, the SC&S team also marked some opportunities with AVEVA SW as “For Tracking Purposes Only”. This data remains in bFO, but
“Tracking Only” is no longer used to mark opportunities.
2021 AVEVA and Schneider Electric. All Rights Reserved. | Page 41
SE: Entering Multi-Year AVEVA SW Opportunities into bFO
• For multi-year AVEVA SW opportunities, the full multi-year Total Contract Value (TCV) should be entered into
bFO, not the Annual Contract Value (ACV), as this is how AVEVA recognizes their opportunities
For example, if SE were to support AVEVA in winning a Sales Agent opportunity for US$1M/year (the ACV) over 3 years,
the bFO opportunity should be marked as Sales Agent and have a value of US$3M (the TCV)
• There must be at least one Software (IDSFT) opportunity line that is detailed to the Family Level
For example IND AUT SOFTWARE \ IDSFT – IND AUT SOFTWARE \ WW SYSTEM PLATFORM \ WW SYSPL LIC 0077
• There must be at least one Software (IDSFT) opportunity line that is detailed to the Family Level
• Since Sales Agent agreements are not booked by SE, they must be marked in bFO for payment of SFC
commission from AVEVA and Sales STIP purposes
If a Sales Agent opportunity is not marked in bFO, no STIP nor country commission will be paid
• To mark a bFO opportunity as using the Sales Agent agreement, do the following:
1. Go to the Value Chain Players section of the opportunity (in bFO Classic under Related List locate Value Chain Player
or Stakeholder tab locate Value Chain Player in bFO Lightning)
2. Add a New Value Chain Player
3. Select the Account as “AVEVA Sales Agent” and Account Role as “Agent” and click Save
• The “AVEVA Sales Agent” account has been created in bFO for this purpose
• Do not manually check “Winning Value Chain Player?” field as this impacts analysis and ability to pay commissions
• If there are previously agreed SE T&Cs with a legacy SE client that are still valid and included SE SW (now
AVEVA), these must be used for AVEVA SW if it is part of a co-mingled solution (e.g. SE and AVEVA SW
products as part of a solution such as EcoStruxure)
A separate “back-to-back” agreement is not required with AVEVA
• If there are no agreed SE T&Cs with a client (such as with a new SE client) and the client is not providing
T&Cs, then new co-mingled solutions (both SE and AVEVA SW offers) must use standard SE T&Cs
Any deviations from standard SE T&Cs must be highlighted in the request for quote to AVEVA for review and comment
• If the deviations are not accepted by AVEVA, then please contact James McGill or Awesta Masshoor
• If there are no agreed SE T&Cs with a client and the client is providing T&Cs, then the client T&Cs must be
provided with the request for quote sent to AVEVA or the AVEVA distributor for review and comment
Negotiations between SE and AVEVA are handled as with any third-party
• Upon AVEVA request and SE agreement, SE T&Cs may be used for a pure AVEVA SW opportunity
2021 AVEVA and Schneider Electric. All Rights Reserved. | Page 45
AVEVA SW End-User License Agreement (EULA)
• Most AVEVA SW has clickwrap, so the end-user must accept the license agreement upon installation and thus
a separately signed EULA is not required
• If the AVEVA SW does not have clickwrap (e.g. OTS and others primarily accessed via PA), then
If the Software Clause (see below) per the standard SE T&Cs is included in the SE T&Cs, then the EULA would be sent
by SE to the end-user with the quote, but a signature is not needed for it and the license will be issued once the SE
contract is signed
If the Software Clause is not included in the SE T&Cs, then the EULA would be sent by SE to the end-user with the
quote and a signature is needed for it and the license will not be issued until the EULA signed
In either case, if an end-user does not want to sign or accept the AVEVA EULA then AVEVA would negotiate it directly
with the end-user
Software
Any software or computer information, in whatever form that is provided with Products manufactured by SE or as part of Services, is
licensed to Purchaser solely pursuant to standard licenses of SE or its supplier of such software or computer information which licenses
are hereby incorporated by reference and are available upon request. SE does not warrant that such software or computer information

Existing Master Agreements with AVEVA SW
• Where there are Master Agreements (MAs) - including Master Purchasing Agreements (MPAs) or Master
Service Agreements (MSAs) - that include both SE and AVEVA (former SE SW) products
The agreement is still in effect until its expiration, meaning one of the following:
• Purchase Orders (POs) for AVEVA SW may continue to be sent directly to them as long as SE SW was a signatory to the original MA
• POs for AVEVA SW may continue to be sent directly to the appropriate SE legal entity when AVEVA SW is included in the MA but is not set
out as a separate legal entity
– In this case, the appropriate discount / compensation method to be discussed and agreed between Schneider Electric and AVEVA
• Once the Master Agreement expires, SE and AVEVA cannot form a “tri-partite” (3-party) agreement with an
end-user, but may do the following:
Use the Subcontractor agreement as the basis of the new Master Agreement such that the end-user can purchase
AVEVA SW (stand-alone or as part of EcoStruxure) via SE
• The Master Agreement must include the AVEVA SW End-User License Agreement (EULA) clause
• An NDA is not required on specific sales opportunities as long as they are joint opportunities related to the
commercial agreements in place with AVEVA (e.g. subcontractor, sales agent, etc.)
An additional NDA may still be requested for particularly sensitive opportunities, if so desired
• To review NDA requests, raise to James McGill (Overall Engagement and Framework, Digital Plant), Thiago
Oliveira (SE Country Operations Engagement) or TBD (Process Automation)
• For specific opportunities in which the AVEVA SW price (not the overall bid price) is not competitive, a special
pricing request (SPR) may be raised to request additional discounting beyond the standard discount from
global or local list pricing
Please provide 3 business days to respond before escalating the request
• Quote review and approval is per the country operations or Process Automation, as appropriate and defined by
their respective entity Delegation of Authority (DOA) guidelines
• Note that any commercial escalation within SE will likely trigger an equivalent escalation within AVEVA, so
please ensure sufficient time is planned into the review / approval process
• Purchase orders to AVEVA from Schneider Electric under the Subcontractor agreement must include the
following text
This Purchase Order is governed by the Amended and Restated Subcontractor Agreement (the “Subcontractor
Agreement”) dated May 6, 2020 by and between AVEVA Software, LLC and Schneider Electric Industries SAS,
including the following Head Contract (as such term is defined in the Subcontractor Agreement): [Note that the
specific contractual agreement between SE and the end user must be inserted in place of this bracketed
underlined text].

AVEVA: Marking of SE Orders by Distributors and in the CRM
• As an AVEVA distributor captures a license request or CF into the global AVEVA system, two fields will be open
for data entry.
1. Is with Schneider Electric? A radio button for 🔘yes OR 🔘no
2. If yes then a free-text field will be available to capture the Schneider Electric sales reference number. It can be any
number but my recommendation is that it should be the bFO opportunity number.
• The SE Engagement Leader will ensure these fields, as well as appropriate fields for opportunities in the
AVEVA CRM, are completed
• Sell With:
All AVEVA Sales into named Tier 1-Tier 2 accounts with SE (SE Definition is Strategic Segment accounts)
• Sell Through:
SE as AVEVA-Select Distributor (now is only Australia and China, Citect has been moved to the AVEVA Channel as of 1st
Aug)
SE as Sub-contractor (Industry BU, PA, Energy BU, Services BU)
SE as Sales Agent where claims are validated (not including Tier 1-Tier 2, which are included in AVEVA Sell With)
• Sell To:
SE Factories and Supply Chain
SE OEM Agreements (Digital Plant, Digital energy, Digital Services)
• A new tab has been created in OPA (AVEVA distributor order tracking tool) to identify if Schneider Electric was
associated with the transaction. If Schneider Electric was involved, check the box next to “Is SE Related” and
note the Schneider Electric bFO opportunity reference number. Select NEXT and continue with OPA as usual.
• Should this not be feasible, the recommended reference should be the Schneider Electric Entity placing the
order and the Schneider Electric purchase order number (e.g. SE Canada-PO00000000).
• If there is no Schneider Electric entity involved, then only select NEXT and proceed with the OPA order.
Check the box next to “Is SE Related” and note the Schneider Electric bFO opportunity reference
number. Select NEXT and continue with OPA as usual.

Validation spreadsheet template.
a. By default, SA&MCTA Sales Agent claims are not considered for in-matrix SE country operations or out-of-matrix Process
Automation performance; however, if an SE country or PA hub team is leading or driving an SA&MCTA Sales Agent opportunity
then it may be requested to be included in their performance.
2. The SE VP Global SW Engagement will send the new Sales Agent Claims for Validation spreadsheet to the AVEVA SE
Sales Operations Manager who will add the required AVEVA CRM and other information required and will disseminate
and distribute to the AVEVA Regional SE Engagement Leaders.
a. If the Commercial Validation for a new Sales Agent Claim is No, then then the AVEVA Regional SE Engagement Leader will
review the reasons why with the SE salesperson. If additional information is provided that supports the Sales Agent claim being
Yes, then the process will continue.
3. The AVEVA Regional SE Engagement Leaders will review the new Sales Agent Claims for Validation and will provide a
Commercial Validation within one (1) calendar week in the Sales Agent Claims for Validation spreadsheet using the
General Guidelines for Commercial Sales Agent Validation, their prior knowledge of the claims and/or by contacting
AVEVA sales teams and/or SE sales and segment personnel, as necessary. The completed Sales Agent Claims for
Validation spreadsheet will be sent to the AVEVA SE Sales Operations Manager.
a. Auto-approval: The Commercial Validation will default to Yes if the value of the claim is less than £75,000 (~€85,000).
b. If the Commercial Validation for a new Sales Agent Claim is No, then then the AVEVA Regional SE Engagement Leader will
review the reasons why with the SE salesperson (for in country, Country Targeted Account or Process Automation opportunities)
or SE Regional Segment Leader (for Strategic Account & Multi-Country Targeted Account opportunities). If additional
information is provided that supports the Sales Agent claim being Yes, then the process will continue.
c. If the Sales Agent Claim cannot be resolved by the AVEVA Regional SE Engagement Leader, it will be raised to the SE VP
Global SW Engagement for review with the AVEVA VP Strategic Partners to align. If they agree that the Sales Agent claim
should be Yes, then the process will continue. Otherwise, it will remain as No and be rejected.
4. The AVEVA SE Sales Operations Manager will consolidate the Commercially Validated Sales Agent Claims into the
Sales Agent Claims for Validation spreadsheet and send to AVEVA Finance for Finance Validation.
5. AVEVA Finance will validate the financial values of the Commercially Validated Sales Agent Claims and will provide a
Finance Validation within two (2) calendar weeks in the Sales Agent Claims for Validation spreadsheet by attempting to
match the Sales Agent Claims with orders in the AVEVA ERP. The completed Fully Validated Sales Agent Claims
spreadsheet is sent to the AVEVA SE Sales Operations Manager.
a. If a Sales Agent Claim cannot be found in the ERP, then "Found in AVEVA ERP?" will be marked as FALSE in the Fully Validated
Sales Agent Claims spreadsheet and it is assumed that this order came via an AVEVA Distributor.
b. If a Sales Agent Claim is found, but is deemed to require additional investigation, it will be marked as "F" (for follow-up) in the
Fully Validated Sales Agent Claims spreadsheet and these must be processed within the next Sales Agent Claims cycle or they
will default to Yes if the value of the claim is less than £75,000. If the Sales Agent Claim is more than £75,000 then the claim will
be re-sent to the AVEVA SE Engagement for clarification and will default to Yes unless if not resolved within two (2) months of
submittal.
c. If a Sales Agent Claim is found, but is rejected by AVEVA Finance for Finance Validation, then AVEVA Regional SE Engagement
Leader will work with AVEVA Finance to understand the reason. If the Sales Agent Claim cannot be resolved by the AVEVA
Regional SE Engagement Leader, it will be raised to the AVEVA VP Strategic Partners for review with the SE VP Global SW
Engagement to align. If they agree that the Sales Agent claim should be Yes, then the process will continue. Otherwise it will
remain as No and be rejected.

Sales Agent Claims Validation for Won AVEVA SW Opportunities
(4/4)
6. The AVEVA SE Sales Operations Manager will send the Fully Validated Sales Agent Claims spreadsheet to the SE VP
Global SW Engagement, the AVEVA VP Strategic Partners and the SE Industry Finance VP.
• Below are general guidelines for Commercial Validation of new Won AVEVA SW Sales Agent opportunities.
Note that these may be changed based on the specific opportunity
• For in-matrix SE country operations including Country Targeted Accounts, out-of-matrix Process Automation
(PA) including Targeted Accounts and approved exception Strategic Accounts & Multi-Country Targeted
Accounts (SA&MCTA), the Fully Validated AVEVA SW Sales Agent amount from bFO will be used for AVEVA
SW performance measurement as this reflects the amount supported by SE.
The “Winning Value Chain Player?” field on the Value Chain Player in bFO will be checked to indicate the Sales Agent
Claim for the opportunity is Fully Validated
• Do not manually check “Winning Value Chain Player?” field
• Checks are performed monthly to help ensure the data quality of this field as it is modifiable in bFO.
For out-of-matrix, the PA hub performance will be adjusted manually to include validated won AVEVA SW sales agent
opportunities in PA named accounts (excluding O&G Segment Strategic Accounts) as part of order attainment for the
contributing CSE, Sales Manager and Hub Leader.
• For in-matrix SE country operations including Country Targeted Accounts, out-of-matrix Process Automation
(PA) including Targeted Accounts and approved exception Strategic Accounts & Multi-Country Targeted
Accounts (SA&MCTA), the AVEVA Finance Amount from the Fully Validated Sales Agent Claims spreadsheet
will be used for AVEVA SW commission payment calculation as this reflects the amount received by AVEVA
SE Industry Finance will use the Fully Validated Sales Agent Claims spreadsheet to create an invoice to send to AVEVA
for the AVEVA SW commission
• The AVEVA SW commission calculation is an agreed percentage of the AVEVA Finance Amount
• If a Sales Agent Claim was not found in the ERP and thus does not have an AVEVA Finance Amount, the AVEVA Finance Amount will be
set to the AVEVA Sales Agent Amount from bFO multiplied by "0.6" (which reflects the net amount paid to AVEVA based on the average
discount given to AVEVA Distributors)
AVEVA SW commissions for Fully Validated Sales Agent Claims for SA&MCTA are made to in-matrix or out-of-matrix, as
appropriate, since SA&MCTA is not a P&L
The SE VP Global SW Engagement will provide the commission payment breakdown by in-matrix and out-of-matrix to
SE Industry Finance as well as to the in-matrix and out-of-matrix teams to count towards Salesperson STIP via their local
process
AVEVA SW commission payments to in-matrix and out-of-matrix will be processed by SE Industry Finance centrally and
will be distributed via the SFC upstream process
