How bundle counts and pricing work
A bundle is a single product made up of real components — for example, the Guide/Workbook Combo is really a Parent Guide and a Workbook sold together under one SKU.
Where the price goes
The bundle's line keeps the full price. The component lines under it show $0.
Example: an order for 25 Guide/Workbook Combos shows $548.75 on the Combo line. The Parent Guide and Workbook lines under it show $0 each.
Where the count goes
Only the real components get counted. The bundle itself is never counted, because it isn't a physical thing you can pull off a shelf — only the parts inside it are.
Example: that same order for 25 Combos counts as 300 Parent Guides and 300 Workbooks (12 of each per Combo) coming out of real inventory. The Combo itself shows no count anywhere.
Why it works this way
This matches what MOM has always done — MOM has never tracked a count for the bundle itself, only for its real components. Counting the bundle on top of its components would double-count the same inventory.
Because of that, the bundle never affects Cost of Goods Sold or inventory value in QuickBooks — only its real components do. If you open a bundle item in QuickBooks and see $0 cost, that's intentional, not a data error.
What this means for you
- The price you expect to see on an invoice is always on the bundle line, never split across its components.
- The counts you expect to see move are always on the real components, never on the bundle.
- A $0 cost on a bundle item in QuickBooks is correct and expected.
