  • Event Types are used to identify the promotional plans associated with a Store.
  • The descriptions are used inside the Inventory - Event Maintenance form.
  • The Event Pricing system allows automatic ON and OFF dates for promotional prices within the system.
    One example for a use of this would be a Flyer sent out with an expiry date for the promotional prices.
