Select the company used to create coupons through the Coupon Maintenance module. The program will create product information entries used to define the coupon. This information is then exported to the coupon vendor and allows them to import the data to automatically update their system with any changes to your data.

 

The coupon module will create the PIF (Product Information Format) data if it determines the coupon data has been changed since the last time coupons were exported from the system. The file is uploaded to and processed by the coupon company.

 

Each coupon company is different, and the fields listed will change based on the vendor.

 

Note

The categories Maintenance Type and Manual Coupon Report define the way the program will create maintenance coupons, which are coupons you generate on a month-to-month basis for any new residents added to the system. Each method will be further defined in the next table.
