To fully understand the Recalculation process, it is helpful to know about the two distinct point tracking systems used by JeriCommerce.

Carry Tier & Points

This system is a temporary bucket tracking points earned in the current cycle period.

  • What it is: A temporary bucket tracking points earned in the current cycle period.
  • Purpose: Used during Recalculation to determine the customer's status for the next period.
  • When it resets: At Recalculation time, it resets to 0, and the carry tier resets to your base tier.

How They Work Together

During the Year (Active Earning)
  • Both current and carry points increase together as customers make purchases.
  • Both track the same value during active earning.
At Recalculation

The Recalculation event uses the Carry points to define the new cycle:

  • Carry points become the new official (current) points.
  • Carry points reset to 0 for the new cycle.
  • If the carry tier differs from the current tier, the customer's official status is updated.
