<summary><h2>Associate a catalog with a price book</h2></summary>

A price book can be associated with multiple catalogs, but a catalog can only be associated with one price book. If a catalog is already associated with a price book, you can associate that catalog with a different price book, but the catalog will be automatically disassociated from the first price book.

To associate a catalog with a price book.

1. In the **Catalogs** section of the price book details page, click **Associate**.
2. In the **Associate Catalog** window, select the catalog name from the drop-down list.
