Intended Application
For product-level transaction importing in which a single file may contain transactions of multiple transaction types from multiple locations and booking dates. Supports either retail amount->point conversion via Kognitiv Loyalty transaction point formula, and also direct point entry in file.
Notes
- Pipe-delimiter must be used to separate columns.
- Header record is not expected. All data rows are processed as records.
- All line items are treated as a quantity of one.
- All items sharing the same transaction type and unique Transaction Id should be contiguous.
- Unique Transaction Id should be different for return and purchase if the intention is to use the same transaction type.
- If a missing product is encountered, the associated transaction is skipped.
- If the booking date is provided and is not in the proper format, it will be ignored.
