Item Package

This module is used to maintain item package and to ease the invoicing process of regular combination of items.

Item Package is different from Item Assembly (Bill of Material) as Item Package is merely a combination of several items (which is not assembled) and it is not an 'Item' by itself. It carries no 'materials' but a list of items that will be sold as a package, usually used during seasonal or promotional periods.
