Activate and Deactivate Promotions

You control whether a promotion is applied to transactions by activating or deactivating it. A promotion applies to transactions only if both of the following are true:

• The transaction's date is within the promotion's start and end date period.

• The promotion is active.

Note:

Keep a promotion active as long as it applies to transactions, which might be past the promotion's end date. For example, if the business rule is that members can submit transactions for up to six months after the transaction's date, then all promotions must remain active for six months after the promotion's end date.

Activate a Promotion

After you have finished creating a loyalty promotion, you must activate it, which:

• Makes all fields on the promotion and all information about the promotion read-only.

• Makes the promotion apply to transactions.

• Makes the promotion visible to Oracle Loyalty users.

To activate a promotion:

1. Open the required promotion.

2. Select the Active check box to activate the promotion.

Deactivate a Promotion

You can deactivate a promotion so it's no longer available to users. When you deactivate a promotion, the promotion can't generate extra rewards for members, and it's not visible to users.

To deactivate a promotion:

1. Open the required promotion.

2. Deselect the Active check box to deactivate the promotion.
