Loyalty points

Hi ,
I need a small inofrimation about loyalty points features in atg.do we have any loyalty points fetarures available in CRS? if not could you please tell some idea about how to implement this features?
Thanks,

Hi pveedu1
i think we don need any customization in OrderPriceEngine. Instead, While calling the CommitOrderFormHandler.commitOrder method write your logic there. Means assign some loyalty point for profile based on the order total. By this we can add loyalty point to the user.
Another Task is create a PaymentGroup called loyaltyPoint like Credit Card by that the user can use this points for the next purchase.
For Creating new http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26180_01/Platform.94/ATGCommProgGuide/html/s1008extendingthepaymentprocesstosupp01.html refer this.

Loyalty points are stored in which entity?

Hi,
I need to integrate Siebel's loyalty management with ATG and for That I need to know What is the data that flows from Siebel to ATG for loyalty functionality.
So I need to know below things-
In which entity loyalty/reward points are stored in Siebel or Where exactly is the loyalty points in Siebel?

Prateek

There are several tables that hold variant info .. you can find these in SE11 / SE16 looking for VARI* e.g. VARID Variant directory, VARIT Variant texts -> but most of the time you should go through SAP function modules to read the contents of these e.g. RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS, as some of the data is held in INDX-type tables that you won't want to decode yourself...

Help with Java covert 5 loyalty points into 1 credit code.

Can u please provide the code so that:
Loyalty points can be converted into credits (5 loyalty points = 1 credit)
so far i have done....
public void ConvertPoints (int cr, int loy)
erm, these are my fields in the class
public class Loyalty
     private static int currentId = 2000;
private int cardId;
private String name;
private int rating;
private int credits;
private String centre;
public int loyalty;
my constructor:
public Loyalty (String nam, int rat, int cred,String cen, int loyalty)
name = nam;
rating = rat;
credits = 30;
cardId = currentId++;
centre = cen;
loyalty = 20;
Can u pleaseeeeee provide me the code to:
Loyalty points can be converted into credits (5 loyalty points = 1 credit)
thxsss help appreciated x

public class foo {
private int loyalty, credit;
public foo() {}
public int convertLoyaltyToCredits() {
    int credits = loyalty / 5;
    credit += credits;
    loyalty -= 5 * credit;
    return credit;

Sample Javacard 2.2.1 Electronic wallet, Loyalty Points & StudentID applet

Hi All,
After nine months of researching and developing a java card applet and terminal side interface for my final year university project I was frustrated with the lack of sample code and tutorials available online.
My applet is aimed at students as an id card containing a student id, all the features of an electronic wallet, loyalty point system protected by a pin number. Pin is changeable.
The terminal interaction or host side application that communicates with this applet can be found in this forum under the heading "Sample Smartcardio (Host side) applet interaction application".
As I have no finished my project I would like to share it with anyone that would like to see it.
While I would love to write a tutorial I simply do not have the time however below is the applet I used in my project, I how for anyone that has read through java sun's tutorials this will be a help:

POS Integration Wiki GM - Loyalty Points

Hi ALL
Can anybody helps me, I am going through the GM - Loyal point Wiki for POS Integration which talks about Loyal points capturing in PIPE with POSDM/CREATE_TRANSACTIONS_EXT BAPI under Retaillineitem segment.
I am checking the segment but shows no Loyalty fields, so can anyone helps me on this.

when using loyalty program the customer can collect loyalty points.
When it comes to redemption these points can be used to "buy" certain products.
Now I need to know, if these points can also be transformed to a credit note which is included in the next bill (and where to find further information).
Kind regards
Manuel

Hello Manuel,
There is a report RLOY_MKTPL_RRL_SCHEDULING which can be automatically scheduled in back-ground when you create a scheduled rew ard rule(RR-S). During creation of a RR-S [ex: Type: Standard (Timed) (Expert Mode)]; you could specify the
frequency as monthly to ensure points are credited once in a month.
The report automatically creates mem ber activities and processes them. If the activities have to be processed in batch mode(when the batch report runs as scheduled); set the processing engine parameter OPTION_SCHED_ACT_EXECUTE = X. If activities have to be processed as soon as they are created OPTION_SCHED_ACT_EXECUTE = (blank).
Hope this helps.

Good add-ons for retail, point of sale, wholesale and distrbution industry

Hi,
Which are the good add-ons available in India for retail, point of sale billing, wholesale and distribution industry?
Typical requirements are:
1. Point of sale billing
2. Barcoding - if same item is scanned twice, the qty of the item should increase, rather than creating a new item row.
3. Combo Offers - Buy 1 Get 1 Free, etc.
4. Repacking of items - buy in bulk and sell in loose
5. Support for multiple MRP for same item, example an item with old MRP is in stock, and the same item with new MRP is also in stock
6. Loyalty Point, Membership schemes
7. Multiple Payment Modes in same Invoice: Coupons, Card, Cash, etc.
The add-on should work on B1 Starter Pack licenses.
The customer operates small sized departmental stores from 3 locations, with 1 or 2 billing counters in each location, and has limited budget due to which we are suggesting B1 starter pack to him.
Thanks.

Hi,
Please refer license guide for starter package: (page 10)

Loyalty Management- Finance integration

Dear All,
At the end of the day, all loyalty points are liabilities for the companies who runs loyalty program. These liabilities in terms value (for example 10 loyalty points equal to 1 USD) has to be posted to Accounts as "Amount Payable".
Do we have any standard integration for loyalty points posting to Accounts ECC ?

Pramod

Hi Pramod,
As per my knowledge, you have to develop this. Every customer will handle this scenario in a certain way and SAP has not provided a Standard solution for this topic so far.

Loyalty Management and R3

Hi all
one question: is it possible to make CRM loyalty management and ECC sales orders work together?
I.e.: If I make a sale order in ECC will the system be able to send the data to CRM in order to make the loyalty engine (rules and so on) running?
Up to now I am not interested on how it is possible to achieve this, but only if it is possible to do it.
If you also know how...well...share your knowledge
Many many thanks
Pierluigi

Hi Pierluigi,
I know this is quite an old post, but I am just getting into the same subject myself. I was going through SAP Note 1331970 - Loyalty Sales order setup document which clearly states that Loyalty Management is only integrated with CRM Billing. As far as I can understand the loyalty point calculation is happening off the back of the CRM billing. So if you have ECC sales orders it is not going to work.
I assume you have realized this by know. If you have some time, can you please update this thread what the solution was in your implementation?

Iam configuring Loyalty Management in the system and the Backend system is R/3 . And in Standard CRM there are 3 Order types for this loyalty Managment Say one for Buy Points , Redeem Points and Transfer Points . I did the configuration according to the Help document given by SAP . Now coming to the End user Process How exactly it work
Step 1 - I create Loyalty programme
Step II - Customer Enroll in to the program
Step III - What ever customer buys system will update the Loyalty Points in to the customer account
Step IV - Now once Loyalty points reach to some extent , customer want to buy a product or service with his points / Otherwise he transfer the points / or he Buy points . -
How exactly we have to do this in the system ??????

I gave up on getting a single SQL to do this; I don't think it's possible?

Guys
I asked a little while ago about a loyalty points system where the loyalties could not be revoked once awarded, so any refunds would make the points system "go into debt" internally and only start issuing loyalty points when the debt was cleared. Got an excellent SQL to do just that, and then they switched requirements on me.
Now, loyalty points can be revoked at any time. It might be that on the 10th Sept a refund transaction dated in MARCH will be inserted that effectively wipes some loyalty points off the balance.. So I'm thinking that I have to mark transactions with a date of when they were used to create (or revoke) points
I'm wondering if someone will sense check my logic and confirm that there isnt a way to do this with read-only SQLs:
An UPDATE query runs, looking for transactions that have not already participated in the points scheme (points_date is null), and meet certain criteria, and setting their points_date to the current trunc(sysdate) -- this ensures that a transaction inserted in retrospect (i.e. inserted long after the date the transaction occurred) will have an effect on points
An hour later a select query runs on all transactions that have a points_date that is not null, grouping up by the card number (cards earn points) and the value of all transactions is summed. Transactions are classed according to their points_date; those that have a points_date before today contribute to the previous_total_spend and all transactions contribute to the current_total_spend. Because there is 1 point for every $10 spent, the amounts are divided by 10, and then FLOORed/CEILed to provide a quantized representation of the number of points a card had yesterday and what is has today. The delta of the number of points from previous to current represents the number of points that should be awarded or revoked.
I have to sum all transactions for all time rather than just do a simplistic "divide every tran by 10 then floor and thats the number of points" because customers who always spent 9.99 wouldnt accumulate any points ever when the should be entitled to one point upon their second purchase (taking their spend to 19.98)
Here's an example code for you to play with; can someone check I've got this right/the maths is robust and if there was a way to do this in a one-step SELECT without the update (I don't see how retrospective transactions could be included properly) let me know?
with t as(
select '20090301' as points_date, 15 as tran_amt, '1234' as card_num from dual
union all
select '20090302' as points_date, 11 as tran_amt, '1234' as card_num from dual
union all
select '20090303' as points_date, 15 as tran_amt, '1234' as card_num from dual
union all
select '20090304' as points_date, 42 as tran_amt, '1234' as card_num from dual
union all
select '20090305' as points_date, 84 as tran_amt, '1234' as card_num from dual
union all
select '20090306' as points_date, -14 as tran_amt, '1234' as card_num from dual
union all
select '20090307' as points_date, 10 as tran_amt, '1234' as card_num from dual
SELECT
card_num,
spend_today,
spend_before,
spend_today/10 as points_today,
spend_before/10 as points_before,
CASE
    WHEN spend_today < 0 THEN
      CEIL(spend_today/10)
    ELSE
      FLOOR(spend_today/10)
END as quantized_points_today,
CASE
    WHEN spend_before < 0 THEN
      CEIL(spend_before/10)
    ELSE
      FLOOR(spend_before/10)
END as quantized_points_before,
CASE
    WHEN spend_today < 0 THEN
      CEIL(spend_today/10)
    ELSE
      FLOOR(spend_today/10)
END -
CASE
    WHEN spend_before < 0 THEN
      CEIL(spend_before/10)
    ELSE
      FLOOR(spend_before/10)
END as quantized_points_delta
FROM
    SELECT
      card_num,
      SUM(TO_NUMBER(tran_amt)) as spend_today,
      SUM(CASE WHEN points_date < '20090307'--TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'YYYYMMDD')
            THEN TO_NUMBER(tran_amt) ELSE 0 END) as spend_before
    FROM
      t
    WHERE
      points_date IS NOT NULL and
      points_date <= '20090307'--TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'YYYYMMDD')
    GROUP BY
      card_num
) totsBy changing the hard coded dates (will be based on report run date when live) you can simulate days passing..
Thanks in advance for any wisdoms

Well I'm leaning the other way. I think my present MBP will be the last Apple product I buy.
With the way Apple is going, all New Mac computers are sealed unit that don't allow the user to upgrade them in any way. They are getting more expensive initially. They are impossible to fix, even by Apple. All the parts are either soldered to the Logic Board or glued inside the case parts. The add on warranty only covers manufacturing defects and is expensive. And to fix one out of waranty is close to if not more then a new system.
The only thing different in a Mac, and most other products Apple sells, is the operating system and the cases they come in. As for the OS both have their glitches and at this time there are no viruses that infect OS X. There is more software available for Windows. More choices as to what hardware you can use or upgrade to at a later date.
Mac computers are becoming large iPads or iPhones with built in keyboards.

CReative Zen Vision M: AV cable alternative

Hi guys,?I'm new to this forum so may I start with a big hello and an understandingly proud pat on the back to any of you lucky people like myself who are the recent acquirers of the faulicious Zen Vision M! As tech toys go, it's the b****cks!!?But... That ****ed ugly, hateful, and dare i say, expensi've white AV cable has left me greatly upset. Not only did Creative extort ?360 of my very precious euros for a shot at audio- visual heaven in the palm of my hand, but now they want to stick me for an extra score so I can enjoy the experience on a full- size television! Standard store bought AV cables are not compatible with the Zen Vision M, and to me this is insulting! For shame, Creative! I believed you stood for the more deviant side of the digital music industry, but alas you're another Apple in sheeps clothing!! (I'm gonna start a poll - how many minutes until this thread is removed?..)?Soooo... coming back to my original reason for posting this - is there some way of splicing and rearranging the pins on a standard AV cable to make it compatible with my new toy or will I be forced to shell out for the ungloriously white original?These little beauties are selling like hot cakes at a hot cake festival. I refuse to believe that?no-one hasn't at least contemplated this issue and any information leading to a successful result is not only welcome but greatly appreciated. Kudos to Creative for coming out with the coolest little 'look what I've got! Na na na na naa!' doohickey since God knows when but I'm beyond disgusted with this arm foced behing my back style approach to accessories!?A 95% satisfied customer,Adrian.

Thanks you guys. It would seem I have very littl eoption but to get out my credit card and buy the ugly white s.o.b. Creative should give you loyalty points, man!! I mean, we're being forced to buy the bloody gear against our will, so why not show some sympathy? Fat chance, methinks!
With regard to the length of thew cables reaching the tv, you can buy AV extension kits in any good TV/electrical store if you're feeling too mean to splurge on the RC kit. Also only?available in nappy white!! What gives?
Thanks again?for the feedback you guys.
One last question - the new updated drivers?- what do they do?
