You can use the Modify Promotional Data Report (RPD) to:
Add a range of items to the Promotion file
Change the start and/or end dates of any promotion already in the Promotion file
Preview promotion prices for a range of items before updating the Promotion file
Take items off promotion and save that same promotion to be run at a later date
Set up a Timed promotion, where the promotion price is only given to a customer if the time the item is posted is within a specified "time of day window."
If you run RPD with Option F (Update Type 1), the system adds records into the Promotion file. You can set up a promotion in advance and run the Update Promotion Price Report (RUP) with option F to place the promotion prices in the Inventory file the night before the promotion begins.
You can use RPD, option F (Update Type 2) to change existing records in the Promotion file. The start dates and/or end dates on a range of active or future promotion records can be changed. Promotion prices on existing records cannot be changed by RPD.
Do it Best members must run RPD to change the start and end dates of promotions received through EFM (by default, EFM transmits promotions with the year 2029).
You can set up custom promotions and re-run the same promotion prices at a later date without having to recreate the records in the promotion file (MIP). You can use RPD, option F (Update Type 2) to take items off promotion and clear the history on those promotion records; however, the system will not delete the records. You can do this when the following situations occur:
The system date is greater than the old start date.
The new start date is greater than the system date.
The promotion price in Inventory Maintenance, the Pricing tab, matches the Promotion Price in the promotion file (MIP).
The Promotion Sales Code field is P in Inventory Maintenance, the Codes tab.
Warning! The history in the promotion file (MIP) will be deleted. You need to run the Promotion Item Report (RPM) to print the existing history before using RPD to clear the history and change the dates.
