Promotion Item Report (RPM)

About the Promotion Item Report

The Promotion Item Report (RPM) prints promotion file information that you can display in Modify Item Promotion (MIP).  You can:

• print an edit list to check promotion prices before they become active

• print the accumulated promotional sales history for items currently on promotion

• use the information on this report to help make buying and stocking decisions for future promotions

You can print sales history any time during a promotion.  Since this information is updated by the Daily Sales Report (RDI), option F, the promotion history won't include today's sales unless you run the Promotion Item Report (RPM) after RDI, option F has finalized today's sales.

When you take an item off promotion (with the Update Promotion Price report [RUP], option F), its promotion record in Modify Item Promotion (MIP) is deleted.  RDI option F updates the inventory file to include promotion history.  Therefore, you should always run RPM after RDI, option F, but before RUP, option F, so that all promotion history is included on the RPM before the information is deleted.
