Special Product Types
Your OMINS system allows you to create two special categories of products- assembly and virtual. Assembly products are items that must be physically assembled with their inclusive parts before being shipped to the customer- for instance, a product whose batteries require a special tool to install. Virtual products are a group of products sold together (ie a bulk lot or a mobile with charger, extra battery, and cover as accessories) or a product where your customer can choose from different types (ie different coloured cell phone covers, different clothing sizes, etc).
Assembly Products
1. Select ‘Products Promotion View’ from the ‘Products’ drop down menu.
2. Click on the ‘new’ button.
3. Enter the information for the item as you would a normal product- prices, pictures, etc. However, ensure you select ‘assembly’ in the Product Type box.
4. Click ‘save’
5. Select the assembly tab
6. Enter the quantity and part numbers of the pieces to be assembled and click the ‘+’ button
7. In the ‘assemble product’ section, enter the number of finished products that will be created using the quantities you have entered
8. Enter the number of products you wish to assemble or disassemble and click on the corresponding button. The updated number of available parts will show at the top and the current assembled stock will updated in the ‘current stock’ field.
Virtual Products
1. Select ‘Products Promotion View’ from the ‘Products’ drop down menu.
2. Click on the ‘new’ button.
3. Enter the information for the item as you would a normal product- prices, pictures, etc. However, ensure you select ‘virtual’ in the Product Type box.
4. Click ‘save’
5. Select the assembly tab.
6. In the Component Products box, enter the quantity and part numbers of items to be included with the main product and click the ‘+’ button.
7. In the Selection Products box, decide if customer selection should be allowed. If this is not ticked, OMINS will choose the first product in the list to include for the customer until stock is depleted, and will then move to the second in the list, etc. If the box is ticked, your customer will be able to choose which option they wish to have included.
8. Click the small ‘save’ button next to the customer selection option if you have changed the default preference.
9. For each selection option, enter the quantity to be included, the part number, and the name you wish to be displayed for customer selection and click the ‘+’ button.
