If you have a Partner License and have enabled Experience Cloud sites, the Market Development Fund objects are available in your org.

1. From the App Launcher, find and open **Fund Requests**.
2. Click **New** and enter the name, channel partner, requested amount, and status.
3. Save the fund request.

Requests can be updated. The budget associated with the updated request must have the same validation status as the original.

You can [create an approval workflow](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.what_are_approvals.htm&type=5&language=en_US) for partners to submit fund requests to the channel account manager. To prevent users from manually changing the status value on records they own, make sure the “Status” field on the Request object is set to Read-only.

Note We’ve created the **Total Approved Fund Requests** field for you. This formula field is automatically updated.
