Great to get community views. It has been fascinating and enlightening conversation.

There is also option 2 in this "old" Golden Nugget here. In the software I use, I have just configured in Product Catalog Management an adjustment $3 on POA in B1 and it worked well.

Power of community and people like you @Matthieu Hattab. I was struggling to fit into the same PO. Creating multiple PO's definitely seems to simplify things albeit at the cost of creating more PO's, but that should be OK.
By characteristic based pricing, do you mean, we'll have a characteristic 'bundled'. Based on if it is set to `true`/`false` the PO prices will be configured?

Unfortunately, I don't have the time to research the community on your behalf. I'm afraid that task is on you.
I can just give one solution (they are more and I hope I'm the only one who will help here).
In a nutshell:
- Product Specification represents how the product works
- Product Offering represents how the product is marketed (what price, market segment, sales channels, bunding...)
Therefore, it is legitimate to create 1 prodSpec (A) but 3 ProdOffers (A1 A2, A3)
A1
isSellable=true
- is not bundled
- has a POP of £5
A2
isSellable=false
- is bundled with B1
- has POP1 of £5
- has POP2 (pricealteration) of £2
- Duration = 3 months
- POPrelationship towards POP1 with type = override
And you do the same with A3 and B2 if you get my drift.
Other ways exist (with discount, characteristic-based pricing...) I trust other experts will also share their insights.
I think PLA and Price policy are not possible here due the duration of the price alteration.

Thanks for the response, Matthieu.
I had searched the forum earlier and I didn't find any relevant thread. Now also, I searched using the terms you mentioned (though in manufacturing), and that didn't fetch any relevant results.
I've gone through the product guide (GB922 Product 24.5) and couldn't find anything relevant. It's possible I might have missed.
If it's not a hassle, could you please point me to any of these conversations/chapters, I would be grateful.

this was discussed already in the community, possibly several times. Search the community via search box or aiva.
you should also read the product guide from the information framework, where many pricing examples are explained.
In the pricing world, we often refer this type of pricing as "Component-based pricing" or "BOM pricing", it's heavily used in manufacturing but also in telecom, to some degree.

Hi,
I've a situation where I want community's suggestion.
I've a PO A that has a standalone price of £5 per month.
I've a bundle B1 of which A is part of. When it is bundled in B1, I want the price of A to be £2 per month for first 3 months and later £5 per month.
I've a bundle B2 of which A is part of. When it is bundled in B2, I want the price of A to be £0 per month for first 3 months and later £3 per month.
How can I achieve this? Would greatly appreciate your responses.
