      Auto Bundling: Simple (Target) Bundling

      Summary

      Simple (Target) bundle pricing is where the system recognises the items entered in a sale as a combination which meets the conditions of a programmed bundle, removes the price from the items and inserts the bundle PLU at the static sale price assigned to that PLU regardless of the programmed prices of the original items.

      For example, a Coffee & Cake bundle PLU programmed at $8.00 will always sell at the configured $8.00 target price, regardless of the individual prices of items included in the bundle.

      Define the Bundle PLU

      When creating a PLU, setting the PLU Type to Bundle will instruct the system to track the items within this PLU’s Ingredients list and detect when they are present in a sale at POS. When all valid choices are met, this PLU will be added automatically to the bottom of the sale list and the component PLUs will be defined with a grey background.

      Define the valid Bundle ‘Ingredients’

      Use the ‘PLU Ingredients’ table to build a list of the eligible items that should trigger this Bundle.

      • Select Item Type: PLU to choose individual items from the PLU File.
        Item Type: Category may be used to define an entire category instead of individual items, so long as all PLUs in the selected Category are to be eligible for this bundle.
      • Set the Option Type to any of the Choice options (Optional/Required Choice).
      • Use the Choice Name field to group items together.
        This is a free text field and is case sensitive. It is recommended that you copy and paste the choice name against items that should be grouped together, to avoid typographical errors.

      NOTE: The Choice Name that you configure will only be visible to the POS User if this Bundle PLU is also available at POS to enter as a QSO item.
