Event Orders
True Value's promotions, aim for profit, Relay, and C4P programs have been combined into an Event Order program. Purchase orders can be created to take advantage of the promotional offerings offered by True Value. Key to this process is the ability to sort the offering in order of greatest savings. As the user reviews the offering, the desired quantity for up to four order windows can be created. The resulting purchase orders will contain the request date which correlates with the indicated order window.
