Defining Package Components

Once the package product is created, one or more products or other package products can be added as components to the package. When the package is added to an order, separate order lines are created as subproduct order lines for each of the package components.

Package components are always added to an order as a sub-line item.

Pricing for packages are calculated by adding the price for all product components in the package, and then multiplying the total price by the package discount (Sum of [Package Component Product]Product_Pricing.PRICE for all products where [Package Product]Product.PRODUCT_ID = Product_Component.PRODUCT_ID and [Package Component Product]Product.PRODUCT_ID = Product_Component.COMPONENT_PRODUCT_ID and Product_Component.COMPONENT_PRODUCT_ID = Product_Product.PRODUCT_ID).

Currently, the price of the package on the Product Detail page does NOT include components in which the Master Product checkbox is unchecked. However, the checkout process WILL include those components in the calculation of the price.

If revenue needs to be recognized from a bundle of products, the combination of products should be created as a package. Unlike components, each detail included in a package is priced at the product level.

If a package product is being sold on the web, you MUST web-enable each package component in order for the product name and image to be displayed as hyperlinks on the Order Summary page.
