Marketing Development Funds (MDF) are sometimes granted to partners by suppliers to drive sales and develop new business. The partner might use the funds to pay for meals, entertainment, social outings, sports outings, team meetings, and conferences. These engagements allow partners to interact with their customers.

Suppliers manage MDF funds in the All Partner view for a single partner. You can add information for multiple partners on the Manage Partner Marketing Development Funds via .CSV file under Funding.
