After you create your Assembly Items (see the Creating An Assembly Item topic), you can "build" your
Assembly Items as needed using the Assembly feature. Building Assembly Items can be thought of
as the "manufacturing" portion of the Assembly Item feature. When you Build an Assembly Item, the on
hand amounts for the sub-items are reduced by the number needed to make the Assembly Item, and the
on hand amount for the Assembly Item is increased. Assembling/Building Assembly Items increases
inventory for the Assembly Item in the same way that Adding increases inventory for other item types.
Building an Assembly Item is a two part process. First, you will select which Assembly Item you want to
build (add inventory to), next you will remove the sub-items from inventory. In other words, since your
Assembly item is made up of other items, you have to remove the sub-items in order to add inventory to
the Assembly Item.
Adding vs. Assembling: Keep in mind that while you can use the Add feature to add inventory to an
Assembly item,
doing this will not affect the inventory amounts for the sub items . You should only
use Add if you want to add inventory to an Assembly Item due to a return (you can also use the Adjust
feature for this). To increase your inventory for an Assembly Item and decrease your inventory for the
sub-items, use the Assembly feature.
To Assemble Items:
1. From the Main screen, click the Inventory icon.
2. From the Inventory menu, click Assembly. The Build Assembly screen appears:
