In DealPOS, you can use Composite product type if your business offers bundled products consisting of multiple products with specific quantities. Composite products do not have their own stock. Instead, their availability is calculated based on the stock levels of each product used as its components.
If one of the component products does not have sufficient stock to create a composite product, the composite product cannot be sold. To view the available quantity of composite products along with the stock levels of each component product, you can access the Composite Inventory menu.
For more information about the Composite Inventory menu, please follow the steps below.
