Hi Subhash,

Promotion is basically a Scheme which is being announced for a certain season ex. Christams, New Year & Pongal. This scheme might be valid for entrire range of products which the company has.

Sales deal is a Scheme (within the validity period of Promotion) which is being announced based on the Promotion announced by the company. As the company is dealing with a wide range of products you might have different range of discounts based on the type of product and the market demand. Sales deal baiscally helps you to map this.

Hope this helps you to understand.

Thanks

A sales deal defines a marketing deal for a certain product, depending on the setting it can be allcated to a higher level promotion.

Special condition records can be allocated to sales deal, and if relevant the records also contain the number of promotion allocated to that sales deal.

so basically u can assign no of promotions to a sales deal.

Hope this helps.

lets say u have a Promotion called Winter sales:

So to this Promotion you can attach couple of sales deal with Product line 1 ( jackets) and Product line 2 ( Sweaters)

and to this Sales deals you can individually assign the Material discounts( like for wollen its 5% discounts, for Jeans its 2% discount)

Hope this example clears your doubts on it.

Cheers
