the manager to combine Criteria Groups and
Tender Types to create an hierarchy that is used
by the Points Award engine to find loyalty plans
in the defined order

conflicts when multiple plans are awarding
points on one or more transaction line items.

award points as soon as a transaction occurs at

points on historical transactions
