HP Exam HPE0-V27 Topic 1 Question 18 Discussion

When generating a customer HPE GreenLake proposal, you need to submit the following mandatory items to HPE for quoting:

Start Bill of Materials: This is a document that lists the initial hardware and software components, quantities, and prices that are required for the HPE GreenLake solution. It also includes the service level, the billing unit, the minimum and maximum capacity, and the buffer size. The Start Bill of Materials helps HPE to calculate the monthly fee and the buffer charge for the customer.

Completed Order Checklist: This is a document that contains the essential information and documents that are needed to process the HPE GreenLake order. It includes the customer name, address, contact details, legal entity, billing frequency, payment method, contract term, start date, end date, and signature. It also includes the attachments such as the Start Bill of Materials, the End Bill of Materials, the Statement of Work, the Credit Check Form, and the Customer Acceptance Form.

The other items are not mandatory for the initial proposal, but they may be required later in the order process:

End Bill of Materials: This is a document that lists the final hardware and software components, quantities, and prices that are delivered and installed for the HPE GreenLake solution. It may differ from the Start Bill of Materials due to changes in the customer requirements, availability, or pricing. The End Bill of Materials helps HPE to reconcile the actual usage and billing with the customer.

Signed Statement of Work: This is a document that defines the scope, deliverables, responsibilities, and terms and conditions of the HPE GreenLake service. It also includes the service level agreement, the service description, the service activation, the service management, the service reporting, and the service termination. The Statement of Work must be signed by both HPE and the customer before the service can start.

Credit Check Form: This is a document that authorizes HPE to perform a credit check on the customer to assess their financial stability and creditworthiness. The credit check helps HPE to determine the payment terms and conditions for the HPE GreenLake service.
