You can bundle products together to create deals, or assemblies. A bundle is not a tangible product, it is a collection of other products, and as such there is no stock value for bundled products.
The cost of the bundle can be less than the sum of the components, and can be used for deals such as “buy 2 get one free” [add 3 of the same item to the bundle]. The stock of each sub-product will get updated when an order containing the bundle is posted to accounts. Bundles can be nested to a level of 2 (i.e. one bundle within a bundle)
Bundles can also be set with options, for example the bundle “Padset”:
Padset (Small): contains 1 knee pads (Small) and 1 elbow pads (Small)
Padset (Medium): contains 1 knee pads (Medium) and 1 elbow pads (Medium)
Padset (Large): contains 1 knee pads (Large) and 1 elbow pads (Large)
To make a bundle, ensure all the component products (the subproducts) are created first.

Bundles on Your Website
When the customer uses the webshop, the stock level of each of the subproducts is checked, and if a sub product cannot be bought then the bundle cannot be bought.
