Manage and View Transaction Journals

View transaction journals to track member activities, member behaviors, and make manual adjustments to points. Transactions happen when members accrue points, redeem points, adjust points manually, and reverse redemptions.

  • Learn About Journal Types and Subtypes
    Journal types and subtypes help categorize transaction journals. Specifying the journal type and subtype of a transaction journal helps you to design processes that process transaction journals based on their type and subtype. For example, you create transaction journals of the type Accrual and subtype Member Enrollment to credit points to members for joining a loyalty program. Now you can design a process to credit points to new members when the member’s transaction type is Accrual and subtype is Member Enrollment.
  • Prerequisites for Managing Member Transactions

  • Adjust Points for a Transaction Journal

  • Cancel an Accrual Transaction
    You can cancel an accrual transaction for various reasons such as a product return, an order cancellation, and when a member requests to cancel an accrual.
