Promo Pricing Using DIMP for ORPOS v13.x

Question

We have been successful in using DIMP for importing everything except for changes to promos. We can create and process the initial promo XML successfully and the prices ring correctly on the register. However when we try to do the following scenarios, we are at a loss as to how the XML should look like:
- End 1 item on a multi-item promo early
- Change the price of one item/loc on an existing promo
We have made the 'changetype' = UPD and DEL and the file is imported successfully by DIMP with no errors however nothing is updated in the database. The original promo still reflects all the same items and original promo prices. Below are the XML examples of the initial promo and then two examples of us trying to end/delete 1 item off the promo. We are confused over when a UPD or DEL changetype should be used and whether the FillType should be FullIncremental or DeltaIncremental.
Original XML for promo:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<PricingImport
Priority="0"
FillType="FullIncremental"
Version="1.0"

Good Afternoon Benecya,
There is a thrill of excitement when you are checking out and you find out that you qualify for a promotion or deal. The refer a friend program is a great and easy way to get your hands on some gift cards, so it’s disappointing to learn that the offer did not prompt back during your second attempt to check out after accidentally exiting the window.  
I would like to further look into this for you. I encourage you to log into the forum and select the option to send private message, send the message that includes the phone number that you are using to activate the Moto X 2nd Gen.
I look forward to hearing from you,
