Creating Bundled Product Listings
Organizations may have business models where they group similar or frequently purchased products into a single product entry. A software reseller may group similar website design product into a Web Design Suite, even though each product can also be purchased individually.
Mobileforce CPQ mirrors this behavior by allowing you to create a bundled product listings. These listings are configured by a Mobileforce Admin.
Working with Bundled Product Listings
A bundled product listing is added to a quote just as you would any other product; however, the individual products included in the bundle are listed below the bundle name.
Steps in Creating a Bundled Product Listing
To create a product bundle, perform the following.
- Create a new product.
- Give the product a name and code.
- Go to the ‘configuration’ tab.
- Set its configuration type to ‘Configurable’
- Set to Product UI layout to to a product layout with sub-products. If such a layout does not exist, you can create one by by creating a new Product UI Layout with the template ’Nested sub-products’.
- Add the products you want to the product bundle to the ‘Initial Sub-Products’ section.
Don’t forget to give a price to the product bundle itself.
Product Bundles are now designed to include sub-products. So, selecting 7 bundles would mean selecting 7 sub-products as well. If you want the prices of the sub-products of the bundle to be multiplied by the bundle’s quantity, you must enable "Multiply Quantity with Parent Product's Quantity" for each sub-product. There is currently no means to display a subtotal of the bundle’s total price including its sub-products. The challenge is to also support overriding of pricing computations with form-expressions.
