Controlling when Deals are Valid
Deal Status
Once you have set up a deal, you need to change its Status field from Disabled to Enabled in order for it to be valid on the POS. When you want to modify or delete the deal, you change the status back to Disabled.
Note -Statistics on a deal cannot be updated if it is modified. Therefore, it is recommended to disable a deal you want to modify, and create a new one.
Validation period
You can control down to the exact date and time period an offer is valid by selecting a Validation Period.
Store/Restaurant distribution
Deal modifier items must have distribution in the store or restaurant they are used in to appear on the deal modifier pop-up screen.
-
If there is no distribution in the company, all deal modifiers are displayed.
-
If there are no deal modifier items within the store's or restaurant's distribution for a deal that has been pressed on the POS, and there are no other items in the deal, a message appears stating this fact. The deal is then not valid in the store/restaurant.
-
When you enable a deal with deal modifiers, the program checks whether there are stores that have no deal modifier items in distribution. If there are such stores, the program displays a message stating which stores have no deal modifiers in distribution.
-
You can press Deal Mod. Item Distribution on the Deal page to view the item distribution for all the deal modifier items within the deal.
