Emery Waterhouse: Receive Promotions

 

You can download Emery promotions for fliers one month prior to the start date of the promotion. If an item on the promotion is not in your inventory, its promotion information will not be downloaded. You must add the item in Inventory Maintenance and then manually add it to the promotion file.

 

The dates of the promotions are published by Emery; if you have any questions about these dates, contact Emery at (207) 775-2371.

 

This job aid assumes that you have completed all the set up steps required to receive Emery promotions. See the job aid "Emery Telecom Setup" for more information.

 

This procedure is for downloading flyer promotions only. You cannot download warehouse promotions.
