Inventory Assembly items feature allows to create an item that contains assembled material units (finished goods) for purchasing, sale and track in inventory. There is a possibility to keep track of items in stock after sale, have items on order, cost of goods sold, and the value of inventory.
If you want to open Build Assembly List you should go to Items on the main toolbar and select  Build Assemblies List.
Assembly items can be assembly components of another item. There is no possibility to change the components list and values in "Assembly Component" grid if assembly has been used in a transaction that affects Inventory Control Journal.
If you want to create a new inventory assembly item in Free Accounting, you should go to Items | New Items, select Inventory Assembly from the Items Type drop-down list and fill in the required fields.
When assembly items appear on any form (for example a sales order or in a report), their component items are hidden. Only the assembly name, description, cost or price, unit of measure appear. If you try to sell more assembly units then there are in the inventory, the system will warn you that the quantity is insufficient to save or approve the order.
