>>Hi,

>>although this is a VFP application, the problem is not really VFP related. Currently I have items that can be sold and multiple of those items can be added to an invoice (invoice line items). I want to allow the user to combine multiple of those items into one item that can then be sold with its own unique price (which is not necessarily a sum of all the prices of the individual components). What terminology is used to describe this? I'm thinking Bill Of Materials, but that doesn't "feel" quite right.

I agree that it depends on the items being sold and may be specific for the industry.

We use term modifier, but it's mostly useful for the Food and Beverage industry when you sell an entree with various side stuff. So, we can have modifiers on modifiers.
