Creating a Price List Line Item for a Simple Product Bundle

---

A simple product bundle allows you to give customers a discount if they buy a combination of products.

For example, you can give customers a price for a dining room table and four chairs that is less than the price they would pay if they bought the table and chairs individually.

When you create a simple bundle, the product bundle is treated as a single product. You assign a price to the bundle as a whole in the same way that you assign a price to an individual product.

For information about creating simple bundle products, see Product Administration Guide.

You can create more complex bundle discounts by using bundling pricing factors, described in Bundling and Aggregate Pricing Factors. The two methods of creating bundling discounts have the following difference:

Simple bundle prices. Allow you to set a single price for the entire bundle. For example, a dining table and four chairs might cost $500. Define the bundle in the Product Administration screen. Then set the price for the entire bundle in the Pricing Administration screen, as you would set the price for any other product.
Bundle type pricing factors. Allow you to set discounts for individual components of the bundle. For example, if you buy a dining table you might get a 10 percent discount on four chairs. You do not define the bundle in the Product Administration screen, and you do not define a list price for the entire bundle. Instead, you use the pricing factor to associate products that are in the bundle and to define discounts on their list prices.

NOTE:  Before performing the following procedure, follow the instructions in To define a new price list line item.
