How Kits and Bundles work under Commercium?

Here, we will discuss bundle/kit products and how they are managed within your ERP or e-commerce system.

We have launched Kits and Bundles functionality under Commercium's Product listings page.

You can use this page to link a single marketplace listing to multiple component items in your ERP/Ecom platform. When a bundle is sold, Commercium will automatically "translate" the order into its individual child items. This ensures your warehouse picks the correct components and your ERP/ecom inventory remains accurate for every part of the kit.

For example - 

You sell one product online, but that product is actually made of multiple items inside your warehouse.


So:
  • Customer sees 1 listing
  • Warehouse ships multiple individual items
  • Inventory is reduced correctly for each item

Here, Commercium automatically breaks (or translates) the bundle into its component items after the order is placed.

Example -
  1. Online marketplace listings Product name is: “Skincare Kit”
  2. SKU shown online: SKIN-KIT-01
  3. Customer buys 1 Skincare Kit.

Inside your ERP / warehouse, that kit actually contains:

  • 1 × Face Wash (SKU: FW-100)
  • 1 × Moisturizer (SKU: MO-200)
  • 1 × Sunscreen (SKU: SS-300)


Impact - What happens after the order is placed

  1. Order comes in as:
    • SKIN-KIT-01 × 1

  2. Commercium automatically translates it into:

    • FW-100 × 1
    • MO-200 × 1
    • SS-300 × 1


    • Warehouse picks 3 separate items, not a single boxed kit


    • Inventory is reduced for each item individually:

      • Face Wash – minus 1
      • Moisturizer – minus 1
      • Sunscreen – minus 1

    Benefits - Why is this useful?

    • You don’t need to stock pre-packed kits
    • Warehouse knows exactly what to pick
    • Inventory stays accurate for every component
    • One marketplace listing can manage multiple SKUs internally

    Example in Odoo (Bundle / Kit Product) -

    Scenario - You sell a bundle product on a marketplace, but in Odoo you want:

    • Inventory to be reduced for individual items
    • Warehouse to pick individual products, not a pre-packed box

    Step 1: Products in Odoo - Individual products (normal stockable products)

    • T-Shirt (SKU: TS-01)
    • Cap (SKU: CAP-01)

    • Water Bottle (SKU: WB-01)

    Each of these has its own stock in Odoo.
    Bundle product (Marketplace product)

    • Product Name: “Merchandise Kit”
    • SKU: MERCH-KIT
    • Product Type: Consumable / Service (no stock tracked)
    • Purpose: Only used for selling on marketplace

    Step 2: Create a Bill of Materials (BoM) in Odoo
    In Manufacturing → Bill of Materials:


    • BoM Product: MERCH-KIT
    • BoM Type: Kit
    • Components:
      • T-Shirt (TS-01) × 1
      • Cap (CAP-01) × 1
      • Water Bottle (WB-01) × 1

    👉 This BoM tells Odoo:


    “When this kit is sold, deliver these items instead.”


    Step 3: Marketplace Order Comes In
    Customer places an order on Amazon / Shopify / Flipkart:
    • MERCH-KIT × 1

    Order is synced into Odoo.

    Step 4: Odoo “Translates” the Order
    Even though the sales order line shows the kit, the delivery order (picking) will contain:

    • T-Shirt × 1
    • Cap × 1
    • Water Bottle × 1

    📦 Warehouse staff sees 3 lines to pick, not 1.

    Step 5: Inventory Impact
    After delivery validation:

    • T-Shirt stock → reduced by 1
    • Cap stock → reduced by 1
    • Water Bottle stock → reduced by 1
    • MERCH-KIT stock → not tracked

    Inventory stays accurate at component level.

    Why Odoo Users Do This?

    • You don’t need to maintain stock for bundle SKUs
    • One marketplace SKU can map to many internal SKUs
    • Easy substitution or quantity change of components
    • Perfect for combo offers, influencer kits, free gifts

    Real-life Use Case (Influencer Example)
    You list “Free Sample Kit” on marketplace.

    Internally:
    • Kit SKU price = 0
    • BoM splits it into:

      • Sample Cream × 1
      • Sample Serum × 1

    Odoo automatically delivers only the actual items, not a boxed kit.

    Marketplace shows 1 product → Odoo breaks it into many products → warehouse picks individual items → stock remains correct.
