Marketing package - package customization

[Varun Bhansaly]

Hi,
While using "marketing package" type products, is it possible to customize
the package (during order creation) by substituting one item for another
item ?

if you have a productAssocType of PRODUCT_SUBSTITUTE then you can use
them in your customization. one other you may consider is
PRODUCT_COMPLEMENT. I don't think PRODUCT_UPGRADE would be good but in
some cases it might be considered.

Thanks BJ. I tested this by creating a product association of type
"Equivalent or Substitute" for product "Gizmo Basket Assembly Pick".
This does not seem to work OOTB, and may be would require custom
development.

Please correct me if my understanding is incorrect.

yes was showing how to associate products but the subsitution in
marketing is a customization.
you will have to present the substitution to the customer.
