How to Use Product Hierarchies in Sales Invoices and POS View


With Eemel’s Super product version (and legacy Gold/Accounting versions), you can define parent-child product structures. When a parent product is added to a sales invoice or POS receipt, all its sub-products are automatically included as separate lines.


✅ How to Set a Parent Product

  1. Make sure you're using Super, Gold, or Accounting version.

  2. Go to Products.

  3. First, create the parent product (e.g., "Car Service").

  4. Then, create a sub-product (e.g., "Service Fee").

  5. While editing the sub-product, set "Car Service" as its parent.

  6. You can create multi-level chains of products — the system prevents infinite loops and warns if parents cross-reference incorrectly.

  7. Set default quantities and prices on sub-products; these values will be used when the structure is added to invoices or receipts.


🧾 Adding Product Structures to Sales Invoices

  1. Go to Sales > Invoices.

  2. Click New Invoice.

  3. In the description field of a line, search for the parent product (e.g., "Car Service").

  4. Click the plus icon — this is essential to include sub-products.

  5. All child products (and their children) will now appear as individual rows.

  6. Review quantities and prices and finalize the invoice.


🧾 Adding Product Structures to POS (Warehouse Management)

  1. Go to Warehouse Management > POS.

  2. Scan or type the parent product in the EAN/code field.

  3. Once selected, the child products appear automatically with their default quantities.

  4. Reports will show sub-product sales and stock levels as usual.
