| Hi,
I have a requirement where a product is actually an
assembly of different sub products. I understand that in
Commerce Server, an assembly of products is quite possible
using relationships, But when a user selects an assembly
to add it to the shopping basket,
how can I add all the sub products of that assembly to the
basket? I know one way is to add each subproduct to a new
OrderForm within the same basket. But if I take this
approach, does the pipeline execute all the OrderForms at
once, or do I have to take care of sending each OrderForm
through the pipeline.
Any help in this regard will be appreciated,
Jayson

| I don't see any reason why you would add each subproduct to a new orderform
unless you had some driving business reason for the multiple orderforms. It
seems like what you need to do when the shopper selects a product and adds
it to the basket is write some code that retrieves the related subproducts
from the database and iterates through them, adding each one to the basket -
all in the same orderform. This could be in addition to or in place of
adding the product itself to the basket depending on your own business
rules.
