Linked amounts

See how the quantities inside a PV package stay coupled to the package, and what happens to those amounts when you edit a shared component.

When you import a PV package (see Import a PV package), the components inside it carry their own quantities as part of the package. You don't type each one in. This page covers how those amounts behave: how a package carries a quantity per component, and what the planner does when one component sits in several packages.

Before you start

Packages and their component quantities are assembled under Settings > Planning & offer > Planning templates. You need admin rights to edit them there.
Linked amounts apply to package and planning-template components: hardware you've grouped into a reusable bundle. Components you add one at a time carry their own offer quantities. For the item-by-item flow, see Add PV components manually.

How package quantities are carried

A package stores a quantity for each component it contains. When you import the package into an offer, those quantities come across with it, so the offer inherits the package's amounts rather than starting at one each. This is why an import fills the offer's component list in a single step: the amounts are part of the bundle.

Update a component used in several packages

A component can sit in several packages and templates. When you edit one that's shared, the planner asks whether to roll the change forward.

Open the component you want to change and make your edit.
Click Save.
If the component is used by other packages, a prompt appears: "This component is used in X packages. Update them?"
Choose Update to roll your change into every package that uses it, or Skip to leave those packages as they are.

Offers you have already finished stay exactly as you built them. An edit here never changes a completed offer. Only the packages you choose to update pick up your change.

Note: Skip leaves already-built packages as they are, so offers built from them stay unchanged. Update rolls your change into every package that uses the component.

Things to know

A package's quantities live with the package. Change them where the package is assembled, under Settings > Planning & offer > Planning templates, not on a one-off offer.
Shared components prompt before they propagate. Editing a component used in several packages surfaces the "used in X packages" prompt, so you decide whether the change rolls forward.
Skip is the historic-safe choice. Packages you skip stay as they were, and offers built from them are untouched.

Import a PV package — pull a bundle, with its linked amounts, into the offer.
Add PV components manually — add components one at a time with independent quantities.
