# Consumer Bunches

Before stepping into the process, it is important to know some concepts for this module:

**What is a consumer bunch?**

Usually, clients tend to make purchase orders by colors instead of varieties. A *consumer bunch* or a *color SKU* is a concept to define and sort different varieties of roses by color. 

For example, a client can ask for red roses of 60cm and 12 stems, then for those POs and the farm can pack different varieties of red roses such as explores and freedoms. Therefore, the farm should generate bunches with tickets labelled with color SKUs.

A consumer bunch has two SKU labels and one ID in our system. A real variety SKU which describes what kind of bunch the postharvest has processed and the color sku that describes the color assigned to that bunch.

 And a color SKU.  A color SKU shows the color instead of the variety in its label. See the example below.

**Color SKU or Alt. SKU** \
                             **CB                        RED          60CM                N                     12ST                         BL**\
                     Consumer Bunch     Color    Centimeters   Cut stage   Number of stems   Package Type

**Real Variety SKU**

          **Freedom          60CM                N                     12ST                         BL**\
                        Variety        Centimeters   Cut stage    Number of stems    Package Type

**Note:** To have the Consumer Bunches module working, it is required to create Color SKUs, and therefore, new varieties for the compounds called **Color Varieties** or **Non Real Varieties**.  Make sure your Color Variety and Color SKU is set as a **non-real variety** in **Manage Products**, it allows the product appears in the Consumer Bunches module.
