Products & Services Tab ; Force bundle to display price/cost?

We're unable to do this, rmeister7993.

A bundle item is simply a group of items you sell. It doesn't have a cost and price of its own. In fact, you cannot put a sales price on it during setup, unlike an assembly item which is only available in QuickBooks Desktop.

On the other hand, a bundle is presented differently in sales transactions because you can either display it as a single item with price or include its components and their prices.

You may want to export your lists of products and services to Excel. Then, manually add the costs and prices of the bundles. You can save the file to your computer to be used in the future.

Feel free to go back to this thread if you have other questions about bundles.

@rmeister7993 

You need an additional app to create bundles and variants as products.

Do you have a recommendation?  I simply want the price and the cost of the bundle displayed on that screen.  My BOM bundles get quite large; and some raw materials have their costs changed weekly.

I don’t want to change the price or cost of the bundle.  I simply want the sum of the component prices displayed as the bundle price, and the sum of the component costs displayed as the bundle cost.  Is this not possible?

Hi rmeister7993!

Thanks for getting back to us. Let me share more details about the bundle.

Currently, we're unable to add a price or cost to a bundle since it only a combination of other products and services. Its price or cost depends on its components.

For the third-party app, visit the Apps tab. You can see all the supported applications and you can search one from there.

You also want to send feedback about this to let our engineers know about your needs. Simply click the Gear icon and select Feedback.

HI Jess,
     I am just setting up my inventory.  I have a lot of assembly items but I do not have a desktop account.  I am planning to create bundles for all the assembly items.  Most of our sales are online and the orders will come in with the bundle sku and the price.  It will be different from the price of the individual items added together in many cases.  I was thinking that the online orders flowing in from Webgility would override the build price so the total of the items in the build would be irrelevant. 

     Further I assumed that if we created a manual invoice for the Build sku we could easily override the "standard build price" which would be the price of each item separately added up by merely changing the price of the build sku.  What I'm hearing here is that I am wrong about this.

     So now I have questions.  Will webgility be able to override the Build Price and will we be be able to do that manually.  It sounds from what you are saying that one or both these things won't be possible without us shifting from quick book online to some more expensive version.

Hello there, @YogaLifeStyle.

I appreciate you joining the thread and providing detailed information about your concern.

As mentioned by my colleague JessT, assembly item is only available on QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), and Bundle item doesn't have a cost and price of their own and is available in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Please know that QBDT and QBO are two different products with unique features. And QBDT has several features that are not available in the online version.

I can see how the features you're looking for would benefit and empower your business. In the meantime, I recommend sending this request straight to our product engineers through feedback.

MIriam,

     This is a help.  So what is the product I need and what does it cost?  Anytime I make a bundle it sells for less than the items do individually and tracking inventory on things like this is always tricky.

Thanks for chiming in.
Peace,

Ray
