New mandatory EIN rule working with deformed items?

I was just reviewing the latest what's new in FD03 and came across this new rule to make EIN mandatory for promotion. This is something that we have been able to achieve through business rules, but I am curious if this new rule works with deformed items. Deformed items do not get assigned an EIN directly and the EIN is only visible in some apps. @PR can you check if this rule works with deformed items?
