Re: Promotions&Deals.

Ted,

I have successfully used this type of promotion in all versions of BPCS at 
client sites.  You did not include the actual discount screen from the 
promotion set up in you email.  Check to make sure that you have put the 
percent discount in the proper field and in the correct way, remember that to 
have a 5% discount you enter 95.  You will need to verify where the decimal 
point goes.
