There a few products we sell individually and also by the box (of say 6) as 2 different products. Fine so far but we are adopting Sage 2008 and Actinic Link and have found a problem. We wish to keep stock of the individual items in Sage which would mean creating the box quanitites as BOM products with zero stock. This means a lot of work when a box order comes in as Sage cannot auto transfer stock to BOM's. We don't want to pre-build BOMs as this will not give us a true stock picture.
So, what I want to do is have an option on the main product page to buy the item individually and have the box as an option BUT appear in the cart as 6 of the main product. I don't want to use quantity breaks as they will buy 7 and the whole point of the cheaper bulk price is it's far easier and cheaper for us to whack a label on a pre-boxed product than package individual items ourselves.
So, it's like a related product but that product is actually 6 of the main product.
Alternatively is there a way to create the box as a product code, assign components of 6 of the individual product and then get ONLY the components to appear in the cart?
Confused. I've had a good search around and tried various things but can't find an answer.
