How can I indicate a line item is a bundle component in the packing slip?

Retired Boards Appdev Bundles

Topic summary

Main issue: After using the bundle “expand” operation (parent variant split into component line items), the packing slip only shows titles, quantities, and SKUs, with no indication of which items belong to a bundle/gift set. Warehouse teams can’t identify bundled components.

What was tried: Editing the packing slip template and reviewing the line_item Liquid object. The item_components field was found but doesn’t solve the need to show bundle grouping on the slip.

Platform limitations: Per the Functions team, displaying a grouped view is currently not possible in emails. It’s planned for the future, but there’s no timeline. No direct confirmation that packing slips support grouped bundle views either.

Outcome: No native way was provided to denote bundle membership on packing slips via Liquid at this time.

Status: Unresolved/ongoing. Awaiting platform support for grouped views.

Open questions: Whether packing slips will get fields to link component line items to their parent bundle, and when grouped display will be available beyond emails.

I’m using an expand operation in my bundle app. The parent variant is expanded into bundle components. However, after the order is paid, the packing slip cannot show which line item is under a bundle. It can only show the product titles, quantities, and SKUs. My app customer says that once this packing slip hits the warehouse they have no idea that these line items are gift sets.

When I try to edit the packing slip template, I cannot find the related fields in line item liquid. I can find the item_components field but looks like it’s not relevant.

Hey @jam_chan

From the Functions team:

> For the email, it’s not possible at the moment to display the grouped view, it will be in the future but I don’t have a firm date yet on when it’ll be done.
