Can anyone advise the relationship between promotion and sales deal in SD module?

Why we cannot create a sales deal directly?

Hii

Promotion is used to market product or different products.

A Promotion may consist of several sale deals in case of different product lines.

You create promotion backed with different customizing options like promotion type, number ranges etc.

It is necessary to create Promotion before sale deals. Promotion data is used for different marketing analysis and reporting purpose.

for example, what type of promotion is used for specific sales deal.

Promotion with specific sales deals, which are then linked to special conditon records used for promotional pricing or discounts.

Promotion is a marketing technique for a limited period where in perks are associated with the product in order to increase the sales.

Sales deal are the benefits "specific discounts" furnished to the customers in order to crack the deal.

Here promotional deal works as a set and it can be connected to various sub sets i.e. sales deals.

For e.g. Company XYZ is a retailer and carries out a summer promotion. There may be various sales deals associated with the promotion such as 1. discounts on men's wear, 2. discounts on children's wear and 3. discounts on ladies wear.
