Types of Products in a Bundle in EPC
When adding products to a bundle, you can mark them as optional, required, or virtual.
-
An optional item is an item that is not required by the product definition and is defined by having Min Quantity = 0 in the PCI record.
An optional item may have Default Quantity = 1 and therefore show up by default when added to cart. This does not make it mandatory. It is still an optional item and can be deleted from the cart.
-
A required item is an item which has the Min Quantity > 0. A special case of required items is when Min = Max (= Def). In this case, not only is the item required but users cannot change the quantity at run time.
-
A virtual item is used as a grouping mechanism for like products using the minimum and maximum children quantity to define the allowable items in the group. Virtual items only appear as products during the product design phase. In the cart, virtual items appear as grouping categories, no line items are created for virtual products. Virtual products are not assetized. When migrating assets, you must take virtual products in consideration when you populate the product hierarchy path field for the assets (for example, CHILD_OFFER).
