Create a Product Prepack

A Prepack is an item that is made up of a group of products that never change, for example, seasonal looks, or special company promotions. You would define this set as a prepack since the individual items always remain the same.

When you order a prepack from the company, the individual items included in the prepack are automatically added to your inventory.

When you add the prepack to a customer's invoice, Boulevard automatically subtracts the individual items included in the prepack from your inventory. The printed/pdf copy of the invoice will show the contents of the prepack, but will not show the individual prices, only the price assigned to the prepack.

Note: Before creating the prepack, you'll want to ensure that you have created product profiles for all items that you'd like to track and/or displayed within the product bundle (the example below uses a Seasonal Mug).

Create a Prepack

1. From the Product menu, select Product List (or from the Products - Inventory group on the main toolbar click  Inventory).
2. From the product list toolbar, click  New, then select  Pre-Pack from the drop-down list.
3. In the Product Itemize form, click  Lookup  to add all products included in the prepack.
4. In the Qty field, enter the quantity of each individual item contained in the collection.
5. When finished adding items, click  OK  to save and close the form.

   

6. Assign the prepack a part number and give it a description. For the example shown creating a set with two hand creams and a mug, MUGSET is used for the Part Number and Coffee & Cream Gift Set for the Description.
7. From the Category list drop-down, choose the category where you want the collection located.
8. Under the Pricing section, enter the amount you will charge in the Retail/Cost field (or leave blank if you will be entering a custom price each time you add it to an invoice).
9. If applicable, select the Taxable checkbox, then click to save the newly created prepack.
