03/03/2023, 9:02 PMfrom how i understand it, what revenue accounting has said, SSP has to be at the component level, because the parent SKU will always be at $0

03/03/2023, 11:18 PMdid more testing, Kits won't work for us as it uses static Components. ARM seems to treat the flat SKU structure (parent and component SKUs all set as non-inventory items, parent set to be excluded from allocations) vs. Group item structure the same. we for sure need FV dimensions to help us differentiate between a SKU used as a component of this bundle or another bundle, but is there a benefit (or negative) to using Group Items in general?

03/03/2023, 11:23 PMHaving a group item on a transaction is a convenience of not selecting multiple items time after time after time.. Does not seem to be effective for you for the same reason kits won’t work. But this should not be a concern since you are not adding items manually . Assign dimensions, this should solve it

You can uncheck auto-expand for ARM on kits and do all your SSP for just the parent while the costing remains at component. But you can't have it both ways - i.e if the SSP is dependent on the components you must do it all at compnents, and if not can do it all at the parent.
