  2. Run the Refresh Product Hub Snapshots scheduled process.
  3. Use the Manage Pricing Parameters Functional Setup Manager task under the Pricing functional area to specify catalogs in the Product Catalogs pricing parameter.
  4. Configure one or many program types based on the required Customer Program template.
  5. Define programs based on the configured program type, with product rules based on categories from the Product Catalogs pricing parameter.
  6. Submit and approve the program.
  7. Import sales transactions.
  8. Schedule the Create Accruals for Channel Batch process, typically nightly. Note that this processes supplier rebates, customer programs, and customer volume programs.
