Assemblies, BOM and kits

An assembly is a part made of other parts; a kit is a bundle priced as one. Both draw on the same catalogue and both keep the stock straight.

  • Assemblies built from parts, services and other assemblies, to any depth.
  • Stocking an assembly takes its components out of stock and puts the finished item in.
  • Labour and overhead lines on the bill of material, costed into the finished item.
  • Kits are sold and bought as a bundle without being stocked in their own right.
  • Kit components can be shown on the invoice and packing list, or hidden behind the bundle.
  • Change a bill of material without disturbing what has already been built.
  • Assembly cost rolls up from its components.
  • Report on what an assembly is made of, and on where a part is used.
