Additional information about dates. If you have a promotion with start/end dates of 7/1/03 to 7/15/03 and you run RUP anytime on 7/1/03, the Active date displays as 7/2/03, but the promo price will be used at POS on 7/1/03. For that same promotion, if you run RUP on 6/30/03 with a blank From/To Start Date, it will activate any promotions with a start date of 6/30 or 7/1 and the Active date displays as 7/1. The report activates any promotions within 24 hours of the promotion start date. This allows you to run RUP in an EOD queue without specifying a From/To Start Date.
