Is the “Full Assemblies” function / selection not working in the Inventory Reports?

Hello there, @Dav.

I've come to share some information about how the Full Assemblies option works on the inventory report.

The Full Assemblies option includes all the items regardless of their stock status (partially or fully ordered). Thus, when you mark the option as checked, the affected information is those under the Reorder Qty column.

However, since the option doesn't give any difference from the report, I suggest verifying and rebuilding your data. This will help fix data damage on your company file. Here's how:

1. Click the File menu, then select Utilities, and choose Verify Data.
2. Click OK when you see the message, QuickBooks detected no problem with your data.
3. If Verify finds an issue with your data, you'll be prompted to Rebuild Now or View Errors.
4. Click Close or View Errors and take note of the specific error message.

Please let me know how things go, @Dav. I'll be around to provide further assistance. 

Hi  -

Can you give me a numerical example of how my results would change if I have "Full Assemblies" selected vs. not selected?

Hey Dav,

Nice to see you in the Community! What I recommend is using the sample file to see how the numbers would be affected. This will give you that hands-on experience without making changes to your existing file's data. When you open your company, select the Open a sample file option.

Please let me know if you experience any difficulties! I will be more than happy to assist further! Take care for now.

Hi -

I don't think the "Full Assemblies" check box is doing anything.  I don't see any change in the results when the box is selected vs. not selected.

Thanks for taking the time to scour our Community space for potential solutions. It's my priority to help you run the report you need in QuickBooks, Dav.

I appreciate you for performing the steps provided by my colleagues. Another solution is to use the Tool Hub which can help fix common issues within the program. You can download the latest version from this article: Fix common problems and errors with the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub. The article also contains a guide on what utilities you can use to resolve the issues. You'll want to use Company File Issues and the Program Problems utilities.  

If the same thing happens, I'd suggest reaching out to our QuickBooks Team. This requires further and in-depth investigation so they can come up with a permanent fix. Please take note that our support hours for QuickBooks Desktop Pro, Premier, and Plus start from M-F 6 AM to 6 PM. For QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise, we're available any time, any day. Here's how:

1. In your QuickBooks Desktop program, go to Help > QuickBooks Desktop Help.
2. In the Have a Question window, click the Contact Us link at the bottom.
3. From the Contact Us page, select any topics.
4. Under Here's how to connect with a QuickBooks expert section, click the Start a Message or Get Phone Number button.

In the meantime, we can run the Inventory Stock Status By Item report to see the quantity on hand of your assembly item. Also, you can filter the Inventory Stock Status by Item report to generate the specific item you want. Here's how:

1. Open the Inventory Stock Status by Item report.
2. Tap Customize, and the Modify Report: Inventory Stock Status by Item window appears.
3. Within the Filter tab, enter Item in the search field.
4. Click Item. Then, you'll see then a drop-down arrow., where you can select a particular item you want to display on the report.
5. Press OK. 

When you build, QuickBooks automatically updates your stock of components. For the step-by-step process of building an assembly item, I'd recommend checking out this article: Track the products you manufacture. It also includes details about checking your stock and pending builds.

Additionally, you can customize your inventory reports to focus on the details you needed the most. You can learn more about this through this article: Customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop. It also provides details about setting preferences and scheduled reports.

Stay in touch with me if you need additional information about your reports. Just leave a comment below and I'll get back to you. Have a great day ahead.

Hi @RCV  and QuickBooks Team -

I don't think the Full Assemblies box works for anyone.  Can you give me a numerical example of the data I'd see with the Full Assemblies box selected vs. not selected?
