[Tutorial Video] Composite Product Type
In the retail business industry, there are times when you may want to create a package that contains multiple products. In DealPOS, this can be done using the Composite Product Type feature. Composite products are commonly used to sell a set or bundle of products as a single item.
Composite products are especially useful when you want to sell bundled products with customizable components. By using the Composite Product Type, you can combine several products into a new product. Some common use cases include:
Creating a package bundle that contains multiple products.
Selling products in different quantities (e.g., 1 Pack = 6 Bottles).
Creating a bill of materials (BOM) for a finished product.
To create a new composite product, follow the steps below.
I. Via User Interface
Step 1. Go to Product and then Click Add
Step 2. Select Composite Type
Enter the bundle product's name and change the product's type to Composite and then click Save.
Step 3. Add Products Component
Click the Component tab and the + button. Enter the product's name and quantity based on your preference.
Step 4. Input the selling price
Once you have complete adding the components, you can input the selling price and then click the Submit button. The cost price will be added automatically based on the total cost of the products component.

Step 5. Check the bundle availability

II. Bulk Operation via CSV Import
To learn more about standard product importing, you can read the article Import Product Using CSV or Excel. Below are the template format for composite product type.
Note:
Please ensure that the writing format in the Components column is as follows:
1 T-00001 (number/quantity of components and component's SKU). Please note that there are no spaces in the component SKU.
The unit cost for the composite product will be automatically calculated from the components, so you may only enter the product's unit price.
