Purpose

Create and maintain retail incentive program rules.

Overview

Use RIP Product Maintenance to create, edit, and delete rules for retail incentive programs. These rules determine how retail incentive program awards are calculated in RIP Voucher Processing. Each rule is made up of a retail incentive program code and a product code/name. You can also specify whether a rule is for all or a specific customer or customer division.

NOTE If an invoice qualifies for multiple retail incentive program rules, only the most specific rule is used (e.g., a rule for a specific customer takes precedence over a rule for a customer division).

Creating Retail Incentive Program Rules

To create a retail incentive program rule:

Click the New button in the ribbon.
Enter a code for the retail incentive program rule in the RIP Code field.
Enter a description of the retail incentive program code in the Description field.
Enter a product code or name for the retail incentive program rule in the Product Code or Product Name field.
If the retail incentive program rule is for a specific customer or customer division, clear the All Customers or All Customer Divisions check box, then enter the customer code or name in the Customer Code or Customer Name field, or enter the customer division in the Customer Division field.
Enter the date range for the retail incentive program rule in the Start Date and End Date fields.
If a family price code is associated with the retail incentive program rule, enter the code in the Family Price Code field.
If a specific unit of measure is associated with the retail incentive program rule, enter the unit of measure in the U/M field.
If a currency other than the default ledger currency is associated with the retail incentive program rule, enter the currency code in the Currency field.
Enter the quantity breaks and associated awards for the retail incentive program rule. You can enter up to 10 breaks/awards. Customers receive the monetary amount of the award for the break based on the invoiced quantities they have purchased.
Click the OK button in the ribbon. The retail incentive program rule is created.
