hi

Promotions

A promotion typically represents a high-level marketing plan for particular products or product

lines - for example, a promotion for a range of products during a specific sales cycle. A promotion

can include a number of different sales deals. For example, if your promotion covers a range of

different product lines, you can create separate sales deals for each product line.

Sales Deals

Sales deals provide a finer focus for your promotional activities. In the example above, a

promotion includes separate sales deals for each product line. Within the sales deal for a product

line you might want to be able to promote the products in different ways. You might, for example,

want to offer customer-specific discounts in some cases and material-based discounts in others.

You can then create specific condition records that are linked to the sales deal, or assign existing

condition records. If the sales deal is linked to a promotion, the condition record also contains the

number of the promotion. This makes it possible later on, for example, to list and analyze all the

condition records that refer to a particular promotion.

Hope this explanation gives more clarity on your issue

I think it is better or sufficient enough to create sales deal itself

regards

Raja

Hi

Define Promotions

A promotion is a marketing plan for a certain product line (for example, during the market launch).

A promotion can be made up of several sales deals.

In Customizing, you have the following options for controlling promotions:

u2022 Define promotion type

u2022 Set up number ranges for promotions, if necessary

The same number range is used for promotions as in rebate processing. If you want to use separate number ranges, make the appropriate setting.

u2022 Enter the overview screen displayed for the user to create master data

Define Sales Deals

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

Special condition records can be allocated to a sales deal. If relevant, the records also contain the number of the promotion allocated to the sales deal.

The control of sales deals includes the following options in Customizing:

u2022 Define agreement types for sales deals

The agreement type indicates the type of the sales deal, for example, whether it refers to a product or product line. The standard system contains sales deal type 0020.

u2022 Define and allocate condition type groups

A condition type group defines a group of condition types and condition tables which can be used together in the sales deal. Using the condition type group, it is possible to deal with individual products differently in a sales deal and, for example, to grant discounts specific to a customer or material.

Promotions are from broader prospective

Hi Raja,

Thanks for your explanation.

I want to know why sales promotion number is assign in sales deal

If you see in sales deal you will find one can maintain conditions but in promotion there is no such condition to maintain.

so my question is:

1. Is it necessary to assign it or we can achive this only by creating sales deal.

2. If we can create only sales deal then what is the significance of promotion.

Regards,

Naveed Ansari.
