Creating Point Blocks

The loyalty administrator creates the point blocks and submits them to a manager for approval.

To create point blocks

1. Navigate to the Loyalty Program Administration screen.

2. In the Programs list, select the program that uses the points and click its Program Id hyperlink.

3. Click the Point Blocks view tab, then add a new record to the Point Blocks list. Complete the necessary fields. Some fields are described in the following table.

   Field	Description
   Status	When you are finished filling out the record, select Submitted to submit the new point block for approval.
   Partner	Select this checkbox to make it possible to select a partner as the company that uses the points. If you do not select this checkbox, then the point block is automatically created for the host company.
   Partner/Host	Select the company that uses these points, which can be the host company or a partner company. When an accrual transaction is processed from a company, it uses points from a point block associated with that same company.
   Original Number (#) of Points	Enter the total number of points in this point block.
   Remaining Points	Displays the number of points remaining in the block after subtracting those that have been used in transactions.
   Cost Per Point	Enter your internal cost of the points. This value is useful for calculating margin and calculating outstanding liability for tax purposes.
   Sales Price Per Point	Enter the amount charged to a partner for each point in this point block. For more information about selling points to partners, see About Selling Loyalty Points to Partners.
   Submit To	Select the approver for creation of this point block. This field is not required, and if it is not entered, then points are created without going though approval.
