Hi Wclark8,

You can select it if you have sub-assembly items that need to be finished first before the main assembly item. Then, QuickBooks will automatically create them for you along with the main item.

If you like to see some additional references, you can press F1 while you're on the Build Assembly window. This will open the Help window, and you can read the articles about building assemblies.

You can always drop by here if you need anything else.

Have a good day!

Could you please show how to get to "automatically create sub-assemblies" in Quickbooks Enterprise?

Thank you,

Hi there, @RichardsNguyen.

It's nice to see again here in the Community. Allow me to chime in for a moment and help walk you through getting to the automatically create sub-assemblies option in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Enterprise.

Here's how:

1. On your QuickBooks, go to the Inventory menu at the top and pick Build Assemblies on the drop-down.
2. You'll see the Automatically build required subassemblies option on the button part of the Build Assembly page.

Just in case, you can also check out this article for further guidance: Create, build, and work with inventory assembly items.

That should point you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns in the comment section below. I'm always here to help you. Enjoy the rest of the week.

My apology if this is off topic.

Is there a way to export all the data within an assembly from QB? I need to know all the parts within the assemblies, including the subassemblies.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello there, shastaktn.

Yes, there is. You can follow the steps below to export your assemblies in QuickBooks Desktop.

From the File menu, select Utilities.
Choose Export and select Lists to IIF Files.
Click Item List. Then, OK.

It'll then create an IIF file that has your entire item lists with your assemblies. For additional details when exporting them, you can check this link.

When creating a new item or build assembly, this is how it looks like:

Also, I'd recommend checking the articles below. Each of them talks about using assemblies and sub-assemblies within your company file:

How do I get a report that gives me a list of all the assemblies - with the associated sub-assemblies for a specific inventory item?

Thanks for following this thread, @LynB756. I'm here to guide you in pulling up a report with a list of all the assemblies with their associated sub-assemblies for a specific inventory item.

Here's how:

Go to the Lists menu, then select Item list.
Click the Customize button.
Find and select your inventory assembly to see the list showing all of the parts involved with your assembly.

I'm also adding this article to guide you in customizing reports in QuickBooks Desktop.

Feel easy in posting some more of your concerns here in the Community. I'd be glad to be your QuickBooks guide. Have a great day ahead!

I am using QB Enterprise Desktop.

There is no Customize button associated with the Item List

There is also nothing like 'Show Sub Assemblies' in the Reports menu
