Bundle and kit stock rules so components do not go negative
SI applies your kit recipe to available component stock and lists which bundles can still sell, which should be held, and which components a sale would oversell.
The problem
A bundle or kit is one SKU on the store, made of parts that also sell alone. The store can sell the kit after a component is gone, or sell the last component and leave kits that cannot be built. Comparing store counts with a spreadsheet flags kits as a special case. It does not apply the recipe.
What SI does
From a bill of materials you maintain (kit SKU, component SKUs, quantity each), SI calculates how many complete kits you can still build from component on-hand, compares that with the kit's available quantity on the store, and lists kits that should be held or reduced, and components that a recent kit sale would take below zero. It does not change inventory.
Examples
The same job looks different in different businesses. These are illustrations, not client results.
- Cosmetics brand
A starter set needs a cleanser and a moisturizer. SI lists that only four complete sets can be built while the store still offers twelve.
- Coffee roaster selling online
A gift box of three bags cannot be sold because one origin is at zero. The other two bags still sell on their own.
- Electronics accessories shop
A cable-and-charger kit would oversell the charger if two more kits sell today. SI lists the charger and the kit together.
What it takes to set up
A kit recipe sheet and store or warehouse quantities for kits and components. Setup is often a few days if the recipes are already written down.
What a human still checks
- A person changes store quantities; SI only lists what the recipe implies.
- Recipes that are missing a component or a quantity are flagged, not guessed.
- Open orders and incoming purchase orders are noted only if you provide them.
Try it yourself
Paste this into your SI tool of choice and swap the [bracketed] parts for your own details. It asks SI to stop and show you before it does anything.
Using this kit recipe [file] and quantities [store or warehouse export], calculate how many complete kits can be built from component stock. Compare that with the kit quantity on the store. List kits that should be held or reduced, and components a kit sale would take below zero. Do not invent missing recipe lines. Do not change inventory. Pause and show me before sending, submitting, posting, ordering, or changing anything.
