Please log in for more thread options First learn about the inventory items under the maintain menu. The check
out the assembly items. Assembly items are very useful for creating a
single entry that is made up of multiple inventory items. The total cost
and sales values are created when it is used.
If the item is marked as an assembly then all items used in the assembly
must be created before creating the assembly item.
Hope this helps.
