Build Custom Products within Acumatica

BYP is a product category in Acumatica that empowers customers to personalize their products by selecting from a variety of options. These options include stock and non-stock items, as well as attributes that can have either fixed or dynamic pricing. BYP is especially valuable for selling complex products with multiple components, such as computers, gift baskets, or furniture sets. This innovative product category offers the freedom to craft a one-of-a-kind product by combining user-selected options, all without the need to generate a unique SKU for every possible choice.

BYP replaces “Bundle” Product in the now-retired Product Configurator solution.

Build Custom Products within Acumatica

Define inclusion/exclusion rules to determine aspects that can be personalized

Our feature allows you to control product customization by setting up rules that determine available and excluded options based on your choices. You can make certain options mandatory when selecting others and exclude certain options based on your previous choices, providing precise customization for your ideal product. This streamlines the process and ensures your product configuration can be built as designed, making your experience truly personalized.

product dynamically based

Determine price of the product dynamically based on the chosen options.

Define pricing rules based on the chosen options. Pricing of the customized product will be determined based on the configuration defined for each option which can be:
  1. Fixed Price: Price of the product increased by a fixed amount.
  2. Percentage of base price: Price of the product increases by a percentage of the base price of the BYP item.
  3. Price of the component: Price of the product increases by the price of the selected stock or non-stock item
  4. Percentage of the component price: Price of the product increases by a percentage of the price of the selected stock or non-stock item
Fixed Price The price given is directly added to product price. Build Your Product Base Price + Fixed Price = Total Price
% On Base Price The % value is multiplied with Base Price and added to total price. Build Your Product Base Price + (% ON Build Your Product Base Price) = Total Price
Component Price Selected Price of the component will be added to the base price. Build Your Product Base Price + Selected Component Base Price = Total Price
% On Component Price The % value is multiplied with Component Price and added to total price. Build Your Product Base Price + (% ON Component Price) = Total Price
