Manage Local Cardinality
Use local cardinality to define if a product component or products based on a product classification are required, are included in the bundle by default, whether their quantities can be changed, and what the minimum and maximum quantities are.

Here are the available cardinality fields:
| Cardinality Fields | Description |
|---|---|
| Require this component | Select if the product component is a required component in the product bundle. Deselect if the product component is an optional component in the product bundle. If Require this component is selected, ensure that you select Include component by default. Ensure that Require this component is deselected for a product classification components. |
| Include component by default | Select if the product component is included in the product bundle by default. Deselect if the product component isn’t included in the product bundle by default. You must select this field if the product component is a required component. Ensure that Include component by default is deselected for product classification components. |
| Allow quantity changes | Select if users can edit the product quantity at run time.
Note If the product's Quantity Scaling Method is
set to Proportional, selecting this checkbox makes the
quantity editable, but only when configuring the product in the configurator. Once
added to a quote, the quantity field is locked (read-only) in the sales
transaction line editor. This happens because the line editor displays the final
multiplied quantity stored on the quote line item, rather than the editable
per-parent unit quantity. |
| Price Includes Component | Select when the price of the product bundle includes the price of the component. You can’t change component quantities when you select Price Includes Component. |
| Quantity Scaling Method | Defines how the child product quantity changes as the quantity of the parent product changes in the runtime cart. This field can have these values:
|
| Min Quantity | The minimum number of product components or products based on a product classification in the bundle. |
| Max Quantity | The maximum number of product components or products based on a product classification in the bundle. |
| Quantity | The default number of product components or products based on a product classification in the bundle. |
- Edit Local Cardinality
To define the default, minimum, and maximum quantity of a product that’s permissible in the product bundle, edit the local cardinality of the product component and the product classification component. - Override Local Cardinality
You can override the cardinality of product components and product classification components that are at the second level and beyond in the product hierarchy. When you override the local cardinality, you update the product component or product classification component cardinality while maintaining a record of the original local cardinality. You can revert to the original cardinality by restoring the default cardinality.
