Object documentationProduct Bundle

 

Group of individual products that have been grouped together for selling purposes.

 

You use product bundles to group together independent products for marketing and price reasons and sell them together under one name in a business transaction. In the business transaction, the system displays the individual products of a product bundle as separate items.

You create a product bundle as an FS product with the product type 07 Financial Service and the category BASE_FS_BNDL (Product Bundle). You enter the required products for the product bundle in the Product Bundle area.

Note Note

For each transaction type, you have defined the date rule to be used by the system to explode the time-dependent settings of a product bundle in the business transaction. For more information, see Customizing for Financial Services under Start of the navigation path Basic Functions Next navigation step Product Next navigation step Date Type for Product Bundle Explosion End of the navigation path.

End of the note.

Structure

  • You can insert products with any product type (such as Material, Service, Financial Service) in a product bundle. For the product bundle, you create references to the products that belong to the bundle.

    Note Note

    To avoid multi-level hierarchies, you cannot assign any other product bundles to a product bundle. In addition, you cannot assign products as bundle components to a product that is the component of a product bundle.

    End of the note.

  • You can limit the time period for which a product belongs to a product bundle by using the settings Valid From and Valid To. You can therefore define the composition of a product bundle in advance.

  • You can define that a product is a required element of a product bundle. If you mark a product in a product bundle as Mandatory, you cannot delete this item in the business transaction.

  • You can define that a product is a standard element of the product bundle. When the system explodes the product bundle in the business transaction, it displays these products in the document. In the business transaction, you can subsequently add products that are not standard to the product bundle.

    Note Note

    If you define a product as a required element of a product bundle, you must also set the Default indicator for the product.

    End of the note.

  • You can use sorting to determine the sequence in which the system displays the products of the product bundle in the business transaction. It makes sense to define the main element of the product bundle as the first item.

  • You can group together the products of a product bundle and classify elements of the same kind by using a group term. You can use the group term in rules in the Business Rule Framework (BRF). In the business transaction, the system explodes a product bundle in one step, regardless of the grouping.
