Managing Bundle SKU

When creating bundles, PXM offers the flexibility to assign a Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) to the bundle itself or to manage it as a SKU-less entity.

SKU-Based Bundles

A SKU-based bundle has a unique SKU. Fixed Pricing requires a bundle SKU.

When to Use a SKU-Based Bundle:

• Implementing Fixed Pricing: To set a single price for the entire bundle.
• Tracking Bundle Inventory: To manage stock levels for the complete bundle as a single unit.
• Applying Direct Bundle Promotions: To easily target the bundle with discounts using Promotions Builder.

SKU-Less Bundles

A SKU-less bundle does not have its own unique SKU.

When to Use a SKU-Less Bundle:

• Implementing Cumulative Pricing: The bundle price changes based on the shopper's selections.
• Managing Inventory at the Product Option Level: You only need to track the stock of the individual items within the bundle.

Key Considerations for Choosing SKU vs. SKU-Less Bundles

Use a SKU-Based Bundle If:

• ✅ You want to assign a fixed price for the entire bundle.
• ✅ Inventory tracking for the bundle as a single unit is important.
• ✅ You plan to offer promotions tied directly to the bundle.

Use a SKU-Less Bundle If:

• ✅ You need flexible pricing based on shopper selections.
• ✅ Shoppers should customize their bundle from a variety of options.
• ✅ You want to simplify inventory management by tracking individual components instead of the bundle as a whole.
