Introduction - Create a new assembly item
An assembly item is defined as a sellable item that contains an assembly bill of materials (BOM). If the Replenishment System field on the item card contains Assembly, then the default method of supplying the item is to assemble it from defined components and, potentially, from a defined resource.
The components and resources that go into this kind of assembly item must be defined in an assembly BOM.
Assembly items can be set up for two different processes:
Assemble to stock
Assemble to order
In the next modules of this learning path, you'll get details about the two different assembly processes, but for now choose only one process.
The Assembly Policy field is set to Assemble-to-Stock or to Assemble-to-Order. Replenishment System and Assembly Policy are located on the Replenishment FastTab of the item card. In all other respects, an assembly item is a regular item.
To create a new assembly item, select the Search for Page icon in the top-right corner of the page, enter Items, and then choose the related link.
