Connected Inventory looks at each bundle component inventory and calculates how many of the bundle master you can sell at a maximum.
A few examples to illustrate the idea:
Example #1
Bundle Master: Gift Box
Bundle Component #1: Red Socks, Items (per bundle): 1, Inventory in store: 10
Bundle Component #2: Green Socks, Items (per bundle): 1, Inventory in store: 10
In this example, Bundle Master Inventory will be automatically given a '10'. It is because there are 10 pieces of the bundle components available and the store can sell maximum 10 bundle master.
Example #2
Bundle Master: Gift Box
Bundle Component #1: Red Socks, Items (per bundle): 1, Inventory in store: 9
Bundle Component #2: Green Socks, Items (per bundle): 1, Inventory in store: 10
In this example, Bundle Master Inventory will be automatically given a '9'. Although there are 10 pieces of Green Socks, there are only 9 pieces of Red socks. The store can create maximum 9 Gift boxes.
Example #3
Bundle Master: Mega Gift Box
Bundle Component #1: Red Socks, Items (per bundle): 2, Inventory in store: 10
Bundle Component #2: Green Socks, Items (per bundle): 4, Inventory in store: 100
This is the most complicated example.Each Mega Gift Box contains 2 Red Socks and 4 Green Socks.
There are 10 Red Socks at the store. 10 / 2 per box = 5
There are 100 Green Socks at the store. 100 / 4 per box = 25
There are only enough Red Socks for the shop to sell 5 Mega Gift Box. Thus the bundle master will be given an inventory of 5.
