Question

available inventory for group or assembly items

Does QB POS track the available quantity of "Group" or "Assembly" Items.

ie: Based on the inventory of each component, how many of the Group or Assembly is available to sell?

In my POS, the quantity = 0, so I'm not able to sell these groups on my website, that synchs inventory with QB POS!!!

Screen shots - show a list of "Group" items with 0 quantity, and show a "Test Assembly" item with 0 quantity - even though there is plenty of each of the components of the group and assembly

Hi there, @emdash. 

 

Allow me to provide some information that will help you sell assembly items.

 

You've got one more step to take to sell your assembly items. Once you set up your product's bill of materials, you'll have to build and track your finished goods. When you do, QuickBooks updates the stock of components you use. 

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Locate the assembly item in your Item List.
  2. Select Show Details.
  3. Click the Assembly button next to the Item Type field.
  4. Choose Edit Assembly.
  5. Make sure to specify the quantity of each component item.
  6. At the top of the Edit Assembly window, select Build. 
  7. It'll tell you the maximum number you can build. Specify the quantity to build, then select Build.
  8. Click OK, then Save.

 

I'm also adding an article you can read and learn about the different item types and how to manage them. Click on this link: Create, edit, and delete Point of Sale items.

OK, that makes sense for Assemblies.  I think then, what I'm doing is a GROUP.  I'm selling two items together at a reduced price.  I want the inventory to show how many of the groups are available to sell, and have it adjust the quantity as I sell the items either individually OR in the group.

Is that possible?
