A Brightpearl bundle is used to group several products and sell them together for a single price, this allows items to be sold together at a lower cost to the customer than it would be for them to buy the items separately. Bundles can also be used on purchases where the bundle item is ordered from the vendor (supplier) but is received into stock as multiple separate items - represented by the items within the bundle.

Creating a bundle

In order to create a bundle, the items that will be within the bundle - the components - must already exist. When importing a bundle the component items can be imported at the same time as long as they are listed above the bundle in the import file.

Bundles with variations

If variations of the bundle are required then multiple bundles can be created, each containing the relevant variant product. For example, a bundle contains a hat and a t-shirt, but the customer can choose between a small, medium or large t-shirt - this requires 3 bundles. It is possible to create the first bundle and then create variants of that bundle by adding "size" - this will create three bundles. Each bundle record can then be amended to ensure each different sized t-shirt is contained within the relevant bundle record. 

Inventory management of a bundle

A bundle is not a tangible product that is stocked - it is a collection of other products. Only the items contained within the bundle can have a quantity and an asset value. Therefore, a bundle will always be set as non-stock tracked.

The availability of a bundle is theoretical, based on the availability of the items contained within the bundle. You can see the current theoretical availability of a bundle by viewing the bundle from the product list, and also when adding a bundle to a sales order via the product search function.

Accounting for bundles

When selling a bundle, the sell price is taken from the bundle product. The cost value used for posting cost of sales is taken from the individual product items within the bundle, using the FIFO costing method.

When purchasing a bundle, the purchase price is taken from the individual items within the bundle, since they are the items that are stocked.


Note : The video below mentions that Brightpearl only supports bundle inventory levels for Amazon and eBay, however we now support bundle inventory across all integrated sales channels.
