    2. Create a Zendesk sub-ticket called Debt restructuring proposal for approvals using Proposal to debt restructuring - for approvals macro in Zendesk, which includes:

      • Request: Debt restructuring contract with a full term pagaré

      • Customer: CXXXX (with link)

      • Pagare required: YES

      • Amount owed (monthly fees): $xyz MXN

      • Amount owed (late fee interest): $xyz MXN

      • Total Downpayment/extra cost amount to be added to contract: $xyz MXN (note this should be a sum of previous 2 items)

      • Screenshot of Ops Software calculation of debt and interest amounts: (Attach a screenshot of the downpayment calculated through Ops software).

      • Downpayment financing months (3,6,9 OR 12 months):
      • Monthly Fee required: XYZ

      • Extra comments: (i.e. this proposal should consider the same monthly fee that the customer currently has (which should consider the escalators that have already been applied))

  5. Approval analysts generates an extra cost proposal with a pagare following the extra cost proposal process  (Note: that this process already requires the approval analyst to add a 1.5% monthly interest for the financing credit, and if financed amount is >0.4 USD/w authorization from CEO is required).

      1. Always use the most recent monthly fee with escalator
      2. Escalate the proposal when the IRR difference is more than 5%.
      3. Escalate the proposal when the monthly fee is different from the most recent monthly fee (no matter the amount difference)
