Setting Up Loyalty Terms for Precalculated Accruals

Some partners precalculate the points to be credited to members and send them together with the accrual activity details. These precalculated accrual transactions specify the member to be credited, the point type, and the number of points. There are limits on the number and type of points that can be precalculated.

The loyalty terms indicate if a program is eligible for precalculated accrual, and define the accrual parameters.

To set up loyalty terms for precalculated accruals

1. Navigate to the Partners screen, Loyalty Terms view for the partner company.
2. Select the program, and complete the necessary fields, as described in the following table.

   Field	Description

   Accrual Validity Length and Accrual Validity UOM	Enter the length and unit of measure (UOM) for the accrual validity period. For example, if the period is six months, then the length is 6 and the UOM is Month.
