Role Overview
The Sales Admin executes the day-to-day transactional backbone of the company's dealer business - order processing, delivery documentation, invoicing support, credit and receivables follow-up, master data maintenance, and sales reporting.
This role works primarily inside the company's ERP, Dealer Management System (DMS), and CRM. It is responsible for ensuring that every transaction entering these systems is complete, correctly coded, and properly documented before it moves to the next step, and that exceptions are escalated with full information rather than worked around.
The ideal candidate is highly accurate, disciplined with documentation, comfortable working inside systems rather than in spreadsheets, and reliable under high transaction volume.
1 - Order Processing & Delivery Administration
Process dealer orders in the ERP and DMS: order entry, validation against allocation and credit status, confirmation, and release to delivery
Coordinate delivery scheduling with Supply Chain, logistics partners, and dealers; track each order until goods receipt is confirmed
Verify proof of delivery for every unit - vehicle identification, customer acknowledgement, and supporting documents - before invoicing proceeds
Handle order amendments, cancellations, and delivery discrepancies, escalating exceptions with complete documentation
Maintain accurate records of vehicle identification numbers, stock status, and stock movement across the network
2 - Sales Documentation & Dealer Records
Prepare, check, and file sales documents: order forms, delivery notes, invoices, handover records, and warranty registration
Ensure every transaction carries complete and correctly coded information, including outlet and salesperson identification, before it is accepted into the system
Maintain dealer contracts, appendices, commercial terms, and authorization records in an organized and auditable form
Control document versions and retention in line with internal policy and audit requirements
Prepare documentation packages for internal audit, tax, and compliance review when required
3 - Credit Control & Receivables Support
Monitor dealer credit limits, outstanding balances, and overdue items; flag exceptions to the Sales Operations Manager and Finance
Prepare credit status reports and support the review of dealer payment performance
Follow up with dealers on collections, reconcile payments received, and clear open items together with Finance
Prepare supporting documentation for credit release requests; approval and release remain with Finance
Track deposits, prepayments, and settlement status by dealer and by order
4 - Sales Data & Master Data Maintenance
Maintain channel master data in the system: dealer entities, selling points, users, territories, and status changes
Enter and validate daily sales and delivery data; identify and correct missing or inconsistent records at source
Support data consistency checks across ERP, DMS, and CRM, and escalate recurring or systemic data issues
Maintain product, price, and programme data in the system under the control of the Sales Operations Manager
Prepare master data and system access setup for new dealer and outlet onboarding
5 - Reporting & Settlement Support
Prepare daily, weekly, and monthly sales, stock, and delivery reports from system data
Support the preparation of dealer commission, incentive, and trade programme statements
Collect and verify supporting documents for dealer claims, reimbursements, and programme settlement
Track programme spend and settlement status by dealer and by programme
Prepare working files and data extracts for management review and business planning
6 - Dealer & Cross-Functional Coordination
Act as the day-to-day operational contact for dealers on orders, deliveries, documentation, and settlement matters
Coordinate with Supply Chain, After-Sales, Finance, and Marketing to resolve operational issues affecting dealers
Support dealer training on ordering, delivery, and documentation procedures
Prepare materials and data for dealer meetings and business reviews
Support the Sales Operations Manager on process improvement, system testing, and ad hoc assignments
