Product Bundle Balance – Business Explanation
What business information this report provides
The Product Bundle Balance report shows how many complete product bundles are currently available for sale or delivery based on the stock of their individual components.
Instead of looking at single items, this report answers a key business question:
“How many full bundles can we actually fulfill right now?”
It calculates bundle availability by checking component stock movements recorded in the Stock Ledger and identifying the lowest available component that limits bundle completion.
When and why to use this report
Use this report when your business: - Sells kits, packages, or bundled products - Wants to avoid over‑selling bundles that cannot be fulfilled - Needs clarity on bundle readiness for sales, promotions, or deliveries
This report is especially useful: - Before confirming sales orders - During promotion planning - For production or kitting decisions - When reviewing warehouse stock health
Key columns and what they mean for business

| Warehouse | The location where bundle components are stored |
| Balance Quantity | Number of complete bundles that can currently be fulfilled |
