This process works in apps: TB POS, TB Books

This article will teach you how to build a package deal on Lookup and add that code to a check-in or work order.

A package deal is a package: products and services you sell together, such as oil, a filter, and labor. Tire Base already has this. In TB POS it lives on Lookup → Packages. The same list is in TB Books under Inventory & Services → Packages. Each line points at a real product or service, so price, tax, and stock behave as if you added the items one by one. This is not warehouse packaging (cartons and boxes).

Steps

• Open Lookup and choose the Packages tab. On a phone, open the section menu and choose Packages.
• Click Packages. The window title is New Package.
• Enter a Package Code (the short code staff type on a ticket, for example OLF) and a Package Name (for example Oil Lube and Filter). Codes must be unique. Description is optional and is not printed on the ticket.
• Under Products in this package, search for a product or service, set the Qty, and click +. Repeat for every part, labor line, and fee in the deal.
• Click Create Package. The same package shows in TB Books under Inventory & Services → Packages.
• To start a check-in with that package, click Add to check-in on the package card.
• On a work order, type the package code in the search box (Brand, model, size, description, part number, or package). Click the row under Packages.
• The items drop in labeled Included in. Change quantity or price on this ticket. The saved package stays the same.

Conclusion & best practices

Keep codes short — staff type them on the ticket. Include the labor line so technician time is not forgotten. Books uses the same packages on Inventory & Services → Packages. See How to add a package deal in Books?. Warehouse cartons and boxes are product packaging, not a package deal.
