Phasing Promoted Products

Account managers can phase a promoted product if they want to allocate the aggregate cost, volume, and payment data for the product throughout the weeks in the shipment time period for an account promotion. Before you can phase a promoted product, you must phase the promoted category. For more information about category phasing, see Phasing Promoted Categories.

When you phase a promoted product, you allocate to the product a percentage of the phasing result for the product's promoted category. This percentage is calculated as follows:

Est Baseline Volume field of Promoted Product divided by Est Baseline Volume field of Promoted Category

This percentage is applied to the phasing result for the promoted category to obtain the phasing result for the promoted product.

All the phasing result fields for a promoted category, except the Est Distribution Update Pct field, are available when you phase a promoted product. The phasing result fields that are percentages display the same values for a promoted category and its promoted products.
