Automatically Close Promotions and Lines
The auto-close feature automatically closes promotion lines and promotions after a specified number of days past their end date. This helps keep your promotion data organized by closing completed promotions without manual work
Where to Configure
Navigate to Account Settings > Miscellaneous to configure this feature.
Settings
Days After End Date Reached
Enter the number of days to wait after a promotion line's end date before automatically closing it. For example:
- 5 days: Lines will close 5 days after their end date
- 30 days: Lines will close 30 days after their end date
- Empty: Auto-close is disabled (no automatic closing)
Do Not Auto-Close Promotions/Lines
Check this box to completely disable auto-closing for your company. When checked, the "Days after end date reached" field is disabled.
How It Works
Automatic Process
Once configured, the system automatically:
- Checks promotion lines daily
- Identifies lines from promotions with Completed or Cancelled status
- Closes lines where the end date has passed by your specified number of days
- Closes promotions when all their lines have been closed
You don't need to take any action — the system handles everything automatically.
Important Notes
- Only affects Completed or Cancelled promotions: Promotions in Draft, Approved, or Running status are never auto-closed
- Works on promotion lines first: Individual lines are closed first, then the promotion is closed when all lines are closed
- Runs automatically: The system checks and closes promotions on a scheduled basis (typically daily)
- Manual closure still works: You can still manually close lines and promotions at any time
Example Scenario
You set auto-close to 7 days:
- A promotion line ends on January 1st
- The promotion status is Completed
- On January 8th (7 days later), the line is automatically closed
- If all lines in that promotion are closed, the promotion itself is also closed
Best Practices
- Set a reasonable number of days (e.g., 120, 180, or 365 days) to allow time for all deductions to be received and applied
- Use the "Do not auto-close" checkbox if you prefer to manage closures manually
- Remember that only Completed or Cancelled promotions are affected — other statuses require manual closure
