Promotion Maintenance allows you to import promotion files that contain the details of the promotion and the products included in the promotion. This is typically provided by a pharmacy head office or brand.
- Promotion files need to be saved to your workstation or a networked drive e.g. H Drive
- Promotion files need to be in XML format to be imported into Minfos
- After you have imported the promotion, it automatically starts on the specified start date or can be started manually
