This article outlines the steps and configurations for an LMG OnTap Data Multi-Buy Promotions import in BackOffice.

Similar to importing Product Promotions, once LMG Ontap Data Multi-Buy promotions are received, they can be imported directly into the BackOffice database

There are two options available for the Multi-Buy imports - Accept Multibuys & Set Local (Unmatched) Product.

Prerequisites

• To access Promotion import features, the applicable Operator Privileges will need to be enabled
• Operator Maintenance 'Marketing & Promotions' Tab
• Promotions: "Maintain Product Promotions" flag

Import Multibuys Promotions

• After completing the Price Promotions Import (or if no Price Promotions file is located/doesn't exist), the Import Multibuys window will open given that the Multibuys Promotion file exists in the proper File Directory
  
• Any Products from the file that are matched with the Supplier Pricebook and the Database's Product List will be displayed with no highlight - black text and a white background
• Products from the file that are not matched with the Supplier Pricebook and the Product List will be highlighted and will appear with white text and a red-orange background
• If multiple Multibuy Promotions are imported from the same Multibuy Promotions file, they will be separated into different Multibuy Promotions in Bepoz based on raw data in the file defining which Products belong to which Multibuy Promotion
• E.g., In this example, the Multibuy Promotion file contains three (3) different Multibuy Promotions which can be seen firstly in the above image as noted by the differing text in the 'Promotion' column fields

Option 1 - Accept Multibuys

1. To continue with the Multibuys list as is, click the Accept Multibuys button
• This will proceed with creating a Multibuy Promotion/s to include only the non-highlighted Products with which a link can be made between the Products listed in the Multibuys Promotion file and the local Database
2. A Confirm Accept prompt will display to notify the Operator that there are unmatched Products; this will allow an opportunity to return to the window and Set Local Products (Option 2) or click OK to continue
3. Next, an Imported prompt will display which shows how many Multibuys Promotions have successfully been Imported; click OK
   
4. The Product Promotions Tab will then refresh and the successfully Imported Multibuys Promotion/s will have been created in the Database and will be listed; opening a Multibuy Promotion will confirm the Promotion Dates and the Products included from the Imported Multibuys file

Option 2 - Set Local (Unmatched) Products

• For how-to-Set Local Products, please refer to LMG Ontap Data - Set Local Product
