Overview
Composite items are items created by combining specific quantities of other inventory items. Inventory items that are designated as composite will have all the same characteristics as a regular inventory item. The prices of the items will be entered as normal, but the cost of the item will be calculated as an accumulation of the costs of the individual components that make up the composite item.
In order to create a composite item, the user must first create all the components (individual inventory items) that will make up one composite item. Once the individual components have been identified, an inventory item marked as a composite item may be created. In the Item Detail setup, the quantity required of each component and the component name/code may be entered.
Composite items must be assembled prior to their issuance. Validation will occur that the component items are in stock and the quantities of the component items will be reduced to reflect their use in the assembly of the composite item.
The disassembly of the composite item can be done to return the component items into inventory. Composite items can be marked as fully disassembled or partially disassembled. The way in which the composite item is defined will determine what can or cannot be done with the item.
