I am rather new to my business and to QuickBooks. I was looking at our Open Sales by Customer report and I realized we have a lot of open sales orders which turned out to created when we manufacture parts that will be sold to customers using different sales orders and invoices. Investigating this issue, I realized that these sales orders actually represent build assemblies and should have been done through the Build Assemblies process.
Is there a way I can transfer these open sales orders into Build Assemblies? How would I do that?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you for coming back to this thread, Elaine.
Yes, you can delete sales orders and create a new build for the items in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
Since we can't directly transfer sales orders to build assemblies, we'll need to delete sales orders individually, as there's no batch deletion option.
Here's how you can delete a sales order:
After deleting, you can proceed to build the assembly. For more information on how to do this, refer to the article: Combine your inventory items to finished goods (assemblies).
Additionally, I'd like to share how to track the products you manufacture, which provides insights into managing the items you build using inventory parts.
Furthermore, you can check this article if you want to adjust the product quantity or total value to keep your inventory status accurate: Adjust your inventory quantity or value in QuickBooks Desktop.

It's great you caught this on the Open Sales report, Elaine10305.
I know how confusing this can be, especially when you're new to both QuickBooks and your business. While QuickBooks Desktop doesn't have a direct transfer option, we can look for a workaround that will fit your workflow in managing assembled products using Build Assemblies for your Sales Orders.
Here are some articles that you can use as a reference in setting up inventory assemblies for the products you build using inventory parts:
If you have other questions in mind about building assembly or any follow-up concerns with QuickBooks Desktop, please leave a comment below and I'll make sure to get back to you as soon as possible.
