Adding Categories to Corporate Promotions
You can associate categories with a corporate promotion. A promoted category contains a group of stock keeping units (SKUs) that are usually promoted together and that have the same price. A promoted category can be a product category or a promoted product group in the product hierarchy. Adding a category to a corporate promotion allows you to add the products in that category to the corporate promotion. For information about how to associate products with a category, see Adding Products to Corporate Promotions. This task is a step in Process of Managing Corporate Promotions (End User).
