Creating an Item Group VSOE Bundle
To sell vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) item group bundles, create an item group record to identify the members of the bundle.
If you include an item group VSOE bundle in a transaction VSOE bundle, allocation ignores the item group settings and allocates across the entire transaction.
To set up a bundled item group record:
-
Go to Lists > Accounting > Items > New.
-
Click Item Group.
-
On the Revenue Recognition / Amortization subtab, check the Is VSOE Bundle box.
-
Click the Purchasing/Inventory subtab.
-
In the Item field, select the first item that is a member of this bundle.
The VSOE settings from this member's item record appear, such as discount, deferral, and delivery settings. These settings can be changed, if needed.
-
Click Add.
-
In the Item field, select and add all member items to complete this bundle.
VSOE bundles must contain at least two members.
-
Complete other fields on the item record as necessary.
-
Click Save.
Now, these members are identified as a group bundle. When this item group is sold, the VSOE prices are allocated and deferred according to the VSOE settings for its member items. See Recognizing Revenue for VSOE Bundles.
