Multi-supplier bundles for buyers offer a streamlined solution by combining products and services from various suppliers into a single, cohesive package tailored to meet buyers' specific needs. It allows the Product Manager Admin to create bundles that combine products from various suppliers, enabling users (such as the IT department) to order multiple items from different suppliers in a single purchase requisition.
Multi-supplier bundles are available to customers that have the new Views user interface enabled. To enable the Views user interface, raise a request to Basware Customer Support.
When enabled, the Product Manager Admin will be able to see the bundles section in the view’s details.
Click the + icon to create the bundle. The bundle page is divided into three sections: basic information, component items, and item pool. Enter the basic information about the bundle item and save. Select the items and add them to the item pool by clicking them. Select the item link in the last section of the bundle page.
Note: The view must be published to see the items from the agreements when creating a bundle.
When the items are added to the pool, click the + icon next to the item to make it as the component item of the bundle.
Quantity, Type and the Required and Default checkboxes can be changed, while the other fields remain in view-only mode. Save the changes on the item and Commit and Publish the bundle.
When published, the bundle items are shown under the new item type Bundle in the search results. Clicking on the Add button or the Multi-supplier bundle link will open a modal that allows you to change the quantity of the bundle or add optional items to it.
