I have set up a catalog price rules that provide a bulk discount for products in certain categories. It works fine for simple products but unfortunately it seems to ignore configurable products. My rule is to have 15% discount on all selected categories.
The associated products in the configurable products doesn't associated with any category, as those won't get displayed independently on front-end. If I bind all associated products to the category the price rule works.
Do I need to bind all associate products to respective category?
Update:
I have checked the catalogrule_product_price table and it have discount applied to product ID of configurable product and not to its associated simple product.

Ideally associated products should belong to the same category, configurable products have been placed to. Try to add simple to the same category, again set "Enable Discounts to Subproducts option to YES, apply the rule and do re-index. It should work
