Yes it is. What I meant with my example is:
10 hour support pack (service)
1 pen drive (stockable)
As you see, the sales person will put the 10 hour support product in the sale
order, which is what the customer asked him, and then he will see that
currently it includes a pen drive for free. So the sales person does not have
to know he's selling a kit in the first place because the offer may be
temporary
or added later.
