Activate a Follow-on Promotion
A follow-on promotion is a promotion that is active after a previous promotion's commitment duration ends. To indicate within a promotion the next promotion to begin after the initial promotion ends, in the Follow-on Promotion field, search for and find the promotion that follows.
For more information, see Completing Basic Promotion Settings.
To ensure the follow-on promotion is activated after the previous promotion has expired, you must run the PromotionExpirationBatch batch job. You can schedule this job to execute according to your company's workflow. For example, if you have many follow-on promotions, you might want to schedule this job on a daily basis.
