Kits are used to sell specific products that are bundled together using a single SKU. For example, configure a kit if the customer is required to buy the advertised quantity of product (e.g. buy one, get one half price).
When a kit is sold, only the discounted products display on the customer’s receipt.
Create kit SKU
- From the Ascend Desktop, select the View menu > Kits.
- On the toolbar, click the Add button. The Add Kit dialog box displays.
- In the Description field, enter a description for the bundled products.
Note: This name does not display receipts, so make it something meaningful to your employees. - A SKU is automatically generated based on the entered description, but can be overwritten.
Note: Enter an easy to remember value in the SKU field, e.g. 2FOR1SOCK. Kits cannot be searched by description. - (optional) Click the Print Barcode button to generate a product label for scanning.
- Click the Save button.
