8 | LMG OnTap Data - Cancelling Manual Promotions Import

This article covers a step-by-step guide to cancelling a LMG Promotions import in BackOffice.

There are two (2) different ways to cancel an import after the process has stared:

By clicking on the Exit Promotion List or Exit Multibuy List buttons
By clicking on the 'X' in the upper right corner to close the window in the traditional sense

Both methods will have similar effects, however, clicking the Exit List button will have an added step (#2 as noted in the article).

The example in the article shows cancelling a Multibuy Promotions import, however, the workflow remains the same for cancelling Product promotions import as well.

Prerequisites

To access Promotions import features, the applicable Operator Privileges will need to be enabled

Operator Maintenance 'Marketing & Promotions' Tab

Promotions: "Maintain Product Promotions" flag

Cancelling an Import

Click on the Exit List button
A Confirm Exit prompt will appear notifying the Operator that the Promotions have not been Saved and that exiting will result in loss of data; selecting Cancel will close the prompt and return to the Import window
After selecting OK, the Import window will close and a Confirm Delete prompt will appear notifying the Operator that the Import File has not been accepted

This prompt offers an option to Delete the file from its Directory Folder, however, if No is selected the file will remain and will still be available for Import at a later time

Audit Log for Unmatched Products

When Products on the import file aren't matched to the Local Database during the Promotions import, an Audit Log entry will be created with the Audit Type called Promotion Import No Match
