This simulation panel is used to display the complete chain of cross reference items included in an item’s promotion campaign. These items are defined in the Item file/Item cross references panel and must be of type PC (Promotion campaign).

In order to retrieve the appropriate campaign item, the following parameters are considered by the system:

  • the campaign period validity
  • the required dispatch date
  • the stock-on-hand quantity
  • the ordered quantity

Each item can only have one campaign item in the chain per period. However, the chain of campaign items can be as long as needed. Refer to the related topics for a description of the search flow.
