This guide explains how Update Master Inventory works in Bundle Groups, when to use it, and what happens after you run it.
✅ What is “Master inventory”?
The Master product is the bundle product your customers buy (example: Gift Box Set).
The Master inventory represents how many bundles are available to sell, based on the inventory of the component products.
🎯 Why you might need to “Update Master Inventory”
Normally, Tipo app updates bundle availability automatically when components change.
But sometimes you may want to force a recalculation, for example:
You just created or edited a Bundle Group
You imported bundle groups via CSV
Component inventory was updated in bulk (import/another app)
Master availability looks out of date and you want to refresh it
🔄 What happens when you update Master inventory?
When you run Update Master Inventory, Tipo app will:
Read the latest inventory of all components
Recalculate how many bundles can be created (based on quantity rules)
Update the Master product inventory to match the calculated result
✅ This helps keep your bundle availability accurate.
🛠️ Steps
Open the app > go to Bundle Groups > select the bundle groups you want to update by checking the boxes beside their names.
Click Update Master Inventory button
The system will automatically:
Recalculate the Master Product quantities based on the current inventory levels of their Component Products.
Update the MasterProduct stock across all linked bundles.
Example:
Suppose your Master variant (a gift set) includes:
2 × Product A
1 × Product B
If Product A now has 6 units in stock and Product B has 5, then the Master variant will be recalculated as min(6 ÷ 2, 5 ÷ 1) = 3 units available.
This action recalculates the master variant’s inventory based on the component inventory, following the setting “Sync Master with Component inventory” in the app’s settings.
