This program is the basis for handling different kinds of sales promotions. You can:
- create and maintain sales prices through the Work with sales pricing methods program,
- create and enter forecast adjustment details on item/warehouse level.
Keys are provided to be used as the defining parameters of the sales promotion. By selecting one or several keys a selection criteria is created. The keys link the sales promotion to items, customers, warehouses, orders, etc. and for later creation of pricing methods and/or forecast details. The keys are defined in the DIS control keys table. You can select up to five sales related keys to be used in the promotion. The keys remain in the sequence in which they are entered.

- By manually increasing the ceiling value to a higher value than reached value.
- By changing the quantity of the sales order line if, e.g., the sales pricing method gets closed by mistake. For example, a sales order line with quantity 1000 has been entered instead of 100, which in turn closes the method. The user can change the quantity to re-open the sales pricing method.
