About Creating a Promotion Group Instance with the Task UI

A promotion group is an offering that groups existing contracts, assets, or services for shared benefits. A promotion group definition acts as the template from which specific promotion groups are generated. Thus, a promotion group is a specific instance of a promotion group definition.

A promotion group membership identifies the subscription of a specific asset to a promotion group. Promotion group memberships are generated from a membership definition, which defines a type of customer asset that can or must be a member of a promotion group. One or more membership definitions can be associated with a promotion group definition. A membership domain defines the products and services that can be associated with a membership.

A promotion group reward is a product or promotion that conveys a benefit to promotion group subscribers. Promotion group rewards are generated from a reward definition, which is a type of product or promotion that is associated with a promotion group definition as a reward. One or more reward definitions can be associated with a promotion group definition.

A promotion group subscriber is a person or entity that owns or controls one or more assets (members) of the promotion group. The subscriber that controls all the assets of a promotion group is known as the promotion group owner.

Your Siebel application provides a seeded Task-based User Interface to create a new promotion group from a promotion group definition and subscribe members to that promotion group by associating existing assets with the promotion group memberships. For more information about promotion groups and their components, see About Promotion Groups.

To enable users to run the New Promotion Group Task UI, you must activate the ISS Promotion Group Create Order task in Siebel Tools. For information about working with objects in Siebel Tools, see Using Siebel Tools.
