Small Planter Kit - Bundle Group

This guide provides a detailed example of how to use a Bundle Group to calculate the inventory of a bundled product based on the stock of its individual components.

Case

This scenario involves a main bundled product ("Small Planter Kit") whose inventory must be calculated based on the available stock of two component products ("Wooden Panel" and "Bag of Soil").

Type	Product Name	SKU	Current Stock	Role in Bundle
Bundle	Small Planter Kit	KIT-PLN01	0 (Calculated)	Main Product (Inventory needs to be determined)
Component	Wooden Panel	PNL-WOOD	80	Required: 4 Panels per Kit
Component	Bag of Soil	BAG-SOIL	45	Required: 1 Bag per Kit

• The Problem: The Small Planter Kit is listed on your storefront, but you cannot manually track its inventory without constantly checking the stock of the individual Panel and Soil Bag components.

• The Goal: Create a Bundle Group that uses the stock of PNL-WOOD and BAG-SOIL to accurately calculate the maximum available inventory for the KIT-PLN01 bundle.

Solution: Create a Bundle Group

We will create a new Bundle Group in Tipo Sync to define the recipe for the KIT-PLN01 product.

Steps

1. Open the app > click Bundle Groups > click New Bundle Group button

2. Enter a Title and select Status as Active

3. In Master Variant field, search and select the main product: Small Planter Kit (KIT-PLN01)

1. In Add Component Variants section, add Component products (The Recipe)

• Component 1 (Wooden Panel):

  • Search for and select: Wooden Panel (PNL-WOOD).

  • Set Quantity Required: Enter 4 (since the kit requires four panels).

• Component 2 (Bag of Soil):

  • Click Add New Component again.

  • Search for and select: Bag of Soil (BAG-SOIL).

  • Set Quantity Required: Enter 1 (since the kit requires one bag of soil).

1. Save the bundle group.

Tipo Sync will now calculate the available inventory for KIT-PLN01 and push that number to your storefront.

Result: Inventory Calculation and Real-Time Update

Tipo Sync uses a limiting factor calculation: it checks how many complete sets can be built from the available components.

1 - The Initial Calculation

Component	Current Stock	Quantity Required per Set	Available Sets (Stock / Required Qty)	Limiting Factor
Wooden Panel (PNL-WOOD)	80	4	80 / 4 = 20	Limit
Bag of Soil (BAG-SOIL)	45	1	45 / 1 = 45
BUNDLE RESULT			Calculated Available Sets	20

2- Real-Time Stock Update Example

If a customer buys 5 Small Planter Kits:

Product	Before Sale	Sale Quantity	Stock Deduction	After Sync
Small Planter Kit (KIT-PLN01)	20	5 Kits Sold	N/A (Calculated)	15 (New Calculated Inventory)
Wooden Panel (PNL-WOOD)	80	N/A	5 kits * 4 Panels = 20	60
Bag of Soil (BAG-SOIL)	45	N/A	5 kits * 1 Bag = 5	40

Tipo Sync instantly reduces the component inventory (Panels by 20, Soil Bags by 5) and then recalculates the new kit inventory (15) and pushes it to the storefront, ensuring your stock levels are always accurate.
