Creating a Promotion

Use this topic to create a promotion in NetSuite Point of Sale (NSPOS). You can also use the topic as a guide to updating an existing promotion.

Creating a promotion involves the following steps:

1. Determine the conditions you want your promotion to have, including type of discount, dates when it will be effective, which locations will offer it, and what items will be included. Make sure all items included in your promotion are already NetSuite item records before continuing.

2. Create or verify Discount Item is ready. You need to select a Discount Item to set up a promotion. It's used to track sales generated for a promotion.

3. Create the Promotion Record. NSPOS promotion records are called RA-Promotion custom records. In this record you assign all the conditions and items you want to include.

4. Allow time for the Promotion Record to synchronize with NSPOS registers. This takes approximately 15 minutes. After syncing, your promotion is available at all POS registers in the locations you chose.

   Warning:

   You shouldn't perform mass record updates during business hours. Creating or importing large numbers of promotions or other records at one time can impact the synchronization process at your registers. See Benchmarks for Data Transfers and System Limits.
