# Assign a size-curve category to a product

> Assigns a size-curve category to a master SKU. When a category is assigned
(and no distribution template is directly pinned), the category is used for
category × warehouse resolution of a distribution template at production-run
drafting time. A directly pinned template always wins over category ×
warehouse resolution.

Only master SKUs can be assigned a size-curve category, and the category
must be active. The assigned category is returned in the
`distribution_template_category` field on the product response.
