How do i build an inventory assembly item?

Note : This feature is available only in the QuickBooks Premier and Enterprise Solutions editions. After you create (define) an inventory assembly item, the way you add assembly items to inventory is by "building" them. When you perform an assembly build, the assembly's components are deducted from inventory and the quantity of assembly items is increased accordingly.

To do this task


  1. Go to the Vendors menu, click Inventory Activities, and then click Build Assemblies.
  2. Click the Assembly Item drop-down arrow and click the assembly item you want to build.
  3. (If you use Advanced Inventory) Click the Finished Assembly Inventory Site drop-down arrow and select the site where you will store the assembly after it is built. You can track multiple inventory sites with the Advanced Inventory add-on which is only available in QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions (additional fees may apply).
  4. (If you use Advanced Inventory) Click the Site drop-down arrow and select the site where each component comes from.
  5. Enter a quantity in the Quantity to Build field and press Tab to update the Qty Needed column in the components table.
    Note: If you enter a quantity greater than the quantity indicated by "Maximum number you can build from the quantity on hand," you will be prompted to mark the build as pending. After marking the build as pending, you'll need to wait until there is enough inventory on hand before marking the build as final.
  6. (Optional) Change the build date only if you need to.
  7. (Optional) Enter a memo about this build.
  8. Do one of the following:
  • Click Build & Close to finalize this build.
    or
  • Click Build & New to finalize this build and start a new one.
