Trade Promotions Account Maintenance

You use this program to maintain details of Trade Promotions Customer accounts. These are non-SYSPRO customer accounts used in the Trade Promotions sub-module for credit checking purposes.

Trade Promotions customers are used by the Trade Promotions Sub-accounts program to establish a hierarchy of organizations for trade promotions credit limit checking purposes. Once Trade Promotions accounts are defined, you use the Trade Promotions Sub-accounts program to link SYSPRO and other Trade Promotions accounts as sub-accounts to create multiple parent-child relationships.
