Field |
Description |
Promotion Code |
Enter a code to be used to identify the promotion. Promotions can be activated on the session by:

Promotions without 'Promotion Access Codes' cannot be entered manually on an order to expose the associated promotion.
-
Adding a customer who has a benefit linked to the promotion to an order.

|
Promotion Description |
Enter a description of the promotion. This can be used by users when searching for the promotion. |
Promotion Short Description |
A short description for the promotion. This is not published to the end user and could be used to store an internal code describing the promotion (e.g. PROMO0001). |
Promotion Access Code |
The name of the access code that will be associated with the promotion (e.g. OnlinePromo_1). If there is a promotion access code associated with the promotion then the access code must be entered on the order to expose the associated promotion (e.g. an online user would enter the promotion access code to activate it).
Once you have created a promotion, the 'One Time Access Code' button will become active. This allows you to enter a number of single-use access codes for any one promotion. For more information, refer to Adding Single-Use Access Codes to a Promotion.
 |
Caution
'Promotion Access Codes' must be unique across all promotion codes. |
|
Article |
Links an article to the promotion. When a customer enters a promotion access code online, a link to the article will appear below it. Enter the name of the article or click to search for the article. For more information, refer to The Find Articles Dialog box.

This field is only applicable if a 'Promotion Access Code' is entered. |
|
Starting Date |
Enter the start date for the promotion in the field or click to select a date. The promotion is only available on or after this date. If you do not enter a date, the application will use the current date.
For more information on selecting a date refer to Using a Calendar to Add a Date. |
Ending Date |
Enter the end date for the promotion in the field or click to select a date. The promotion is not available for use on or after this date. If you do not enter a date and time, the application leaves the field blank, allowing the rate to be effective until modified.
For more information on selecting a date refer to Using a Calendar to Add a Date.
Use caution when assigning an end date. Once the date has passed, the promotion cannot be used again. This can also prevent updating or copying a price chart if, for example, the promotion assigned to a price chart expires before the price chart does. |
