Setting up the RepeatRewards Items

To use Gift Cards, certificates, and promotions, you need to create specific RepeatRewards items, including a Certificate, a Gift Card, and a Promotion, in Item Maintenance.
Each of these items requires a specific item type, so these instructions are slightly different based on the type of reward item you are creating. You only need to create reward types that you intend to support. You may want to create specific group/section entries for RepeatRewards if you want to track them separately. See this topic for instructions.

To set up the RepeatRewards items:

1. From the Main Menu, choose Inventory > Database > Item. The Item Maintenance form displays.

2. In the Item field, type the ID you want to use for the RepeatRewards item you are creating. For example, RRCERT, RRGIFT, and RRPROMO.

3. From the Group/Section list, choose the group and section you want to use to track this type of rewards activity. This might include a Gift Card or Promotion, etc.

4. In the Description section enter a description for this item that makes its purpose clear.

RepeatRewards Gift Card, RepeatRewards Promotion, and RepeatRewards Certificate.

6. In the Measures box, choose EA for each measurement type.

7. When you have completed these entries, choose Process (F12).
