CORRECTION for the Munce 2019 2Day Flyer, Christmas Flyer, and Christmas Catalog Files

November 1, 2019October 30, 2019 by Shane Price

CORRECTIONS for the Munce holiday catalog files.

NOTE: If you are not sending the Munce 2019 2Day Flyer, Christmas Flyer or Christmas Sale Event Catalog, you can ignore this message.

It was reported that at least one sale price was incorrect and two of the file names could not be used (due to length) in IVPROMO. If you are sending any of the flyers below, please re-download the MunceCatalog.zip file using the same link below and follow the remainder of the instructions, making note of the current file names (M-2DAY-RF.TXT is now M-2DAY-F.TXT and M-CMAS-RF.TXT is now M-CMAS-F.TXT).

The sale price changes are in M-NOV-RN.TXT, M-NOV-RD.TXT, M-NOV-RF.TXT, M-NOV-CN.TXT, M-NOV-CD.TXT, and M-NOV-CF.TXT. If you already processed one of these files, simply download the updated Zip and re-run IVPROMO on the same file. BSMGR will automatically apply the corrected, lower sale price during the dates that the sale is active.

If you are sending the Munce 2019 2Day Flyer, Christmas Flyer or Christmas Sale Event Catalog, please download and process the data file that will prepare your inventory.
