- - Add/Change Inventory

Click on the "Products" tab
Click on the "Product Name" link
Click on the "Stock Locations" tab
Click on the "Add" icon for the location where you will add inventory.

In the window that comes up, the Quantity specified is the current inventory quantity on hand. Enter the Quantity that needs to be added under the Quantity field. Click on Save.

Based on the Assembly component specification, the inventory of the underlying components is examined for availability to complete the assembly quantity specified.
If one/more components are not available, the system will provide an error message.
If the components are available, the system will automatically move inventory from the components to the Assembly and assign a work order in the system for completing the assembly.

Note: Since the Qty/Unit is 2:1, 2 additional quantities will be added to the current quantity.

You can see the quantity added.

You can also add quantity and make inventory changes by clicking the Set icon.

In the window that comes up, make the necessary changes and click the "Save" button. The Quantity specified is the current inventory quantity on hand + any that need to be added.

When you add new assembly inventory, the system pulls component parts from inventory and automatically generates a work order to build the assembly for the "Product Stock Manager" set for that product in the product form. An email notification is also sent to the "Product Stock Manager" for that product.

To see the work order, go to the "Activities" tab. A task with "Not Started" status is created and the "Description" field in the work order contains all the details to facilitate the assembly - the component parts, quantities and usage units. The task is assigned by default to the "Product Stock Manager" for the assembly product.

Selecting the task will display the build order as shown below.
