The Reimbursement from Vendor and Timeframe settings are configured equally for all promotion types. For more information on how to configure them, see Promotion Setup Form.

10. Scroll down to the Promo Results table and make sure the promotion is set up correctly. The promo results are calculated by the following formulas:

• Retail = Promo Price
• Price Change = Promo Price - (Current Retail * QTY )+ Buydowns

For example, you set up a promotion in the following way:

• The initial retail price for the promoted item is $0.50.
• The quantity threshold is 2.
• The new price for 2 items is $0.90.
• No reimbursement amount is set up.

In this case, in the Promo Results section, you will see the following values:

• Retail: $0.90
• Price Change: $0.90 - ($0.50 * 2) = ($0.10)
