Sub-items help teams organize products that belong beneath a primary product or specification.

This is useful for layered procurement workflows and complex FF&E schedules.

What Are Sub-Items?

Sub-items are products connected beneath a parent product.

Teams commonly use sub-items for:

• COM materials

• finish options

• accessories

• installation components

• related procurement items

• alternate selections

Creating Sub-Items

When adding or editing a product, you can assign it beneath another product as a sub-item.

Sub-items will then appear grouped beneath the parent item inside schedules.

Operational Benefits

Sub-items help teams:

• maintain cleaner schedules

• group related procurement items

• improve installation coordination

• reduce specification confusion

• manage layered FF&E packages

Sub-Items in Exports

Sub-items can optionally appear in exported schedules and spec packages.

This improves clarity for procurement teams, vendors, receivers, and installers.

Best Practices

• use sub-items consistently across projects

• keep parent-child relationships logical

• group accessories beneath primary items

• avoid unnecessary hierarchy depth

• review grouped schedules before export

Operational Tip

Sub-items are especially powerful for hospitality, multi-room residential, and layered procurement workflows.
