Creating the Promotion Record for the Complex Frequency Promotion
The promotion record is a container for all the other information about the promotion.
When you create the promotion record, you do not have to select Always Apply, because this promotion is processed at a preset date and the decision to give bonus points is not triggered by a transaction. Thus, it always applies automatically.
The Final Action Date field determines when this promotion is processed. You must set it for several days after the end of the promotion, to give time for all applicable transactions to be processed. To view this field, you must click the More button on the Promotion form. The engine processes the promotion on the day after the date specified in this field.
