Creating VSOE Bundles

Vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) prices are assigned to items which are sold together and are dependent on each other. These groups of dependent items are known as bundles. For example, software you sell may require an implementation service. You sell these two items together as a group, or bundled product.

For each set of products that you sell as a bundle, you can do one of the following:

• Set up an item group.

  The bundle is identified by indicating its members on an Item Group type item record. See Creating an Item Group VSOE Bundle.

• Create a transaction bundle.

  The bundle is identified by marking the transaction as a bundle, and included items are added to the transaction record. See Creating a Transaction VSOE Bundle.

Note:

A transaction may contain an item group or a transaction bundle, but not both. VSOE processes are the same whether you use item groups or transaction bundles.

For details about processing VSOE bundles, see Recognizing Revenue for VSOE Bundles.
