On the requirement of having to assemble varied products, RetailEasy on-cloud gives the luxury of selling them as a single unit and integrating it with the Sales, Inventory and keeps off from Purchase. When an Assembly Item is billed, the on hand stock count of all Ingredient Items are deducted keeping the Inventory tallied.

What is an Assembly Item?

An Assembly Item is a collection of Items of different selling prices, that is sold as one item under a new price. For example, an Assembly Item called 12 Volt Light can be created. The Assembly (12 Volt Light) is a combo of a 12 Volt light Frame and a 12 Volt Light Bulb. The 12 Volt light Frame and 12 Volt Light Bulb are called Assembly Ingredients. We can map substitutes for the each Ingredients and Assembly Ingredients can be replaced while billing.

Benefits of adding Assembly Items:

• Save your customer from having to search for the right combo of products. Give it to them as an Assembly and promise them an easy shopping at your store

• Save the time involved in billing the Assembly ingredients individually, although you can sell an Assembly Ingredient individually

Note: 

• The Stock count of an Assembly Item will always be 0 in the inventory as the stock is counted on the Ingredients

• The Assembly Items will never appear under Purchase because an Assembly Item is not purchased but is assembled at the store

• Creating an Assembly in REOC is a three step process:

• Add an Assembly Item

• Add Assembly Ingredients to the Item

• Map the Ingredients to the Assembly Item/Configuring the Assembly
