Item group list in offer
Item groups can be used to define an offer group. This means an offer will apply to all items within the item group. Item group list is available for all price rules with item selection, except 'Promotion price'. Price panel (kickbacks) is not available for item group. Default kickback values cannot be set if all offer groups within offer use item groups. These offer groups are not available in 'Import' modal in Promotion view. Data in report for offer on item group level is fully based on Reporting API response. Offer is exported to file (blob) with item group numbers.
Using a link above grid in 'Items in promotions' view, user can choose offers based on their selection level: Item or Item group. Overlapping modal for an item shows offers where this item or its item group was used. Modal for item group shows only offers where this item group was used.
