Bundle Items
This article demonstrates how to create bundle items in Connected Business. Product bundles are two or more separate items that are bundled together to be sold as a single item. Individual components need to be entered into the inventory list as separate entities before they can be added into a bundle. You have the option to set specific pricing methods for a bundle.

-
Go to Inventory module > Item > New Item. The New Item Wizard will be displayed. Alternatively, you can go to eCommerce module > Item > New Item to begin the same process.
