Let me explain to you the purpose of creating an Assembly Item. Assembly item is nothing but a combination of items. For example, take Apple milkshake. Here Apple milkshake is an Assembly item and the ingredients used here are Apple, sugar, and milk (they will be mapped with the assembly item). So each time you sell an Assembly item, the ingredients used will be reduced from the inventory.

Note: Usually Assembly Items don't have inventory. So you can't keep track of it. You can manage inventory only for the mapped ingredients used to prepare an Assembly Item. 

Benefits:

• Minimize manual updating errors in inventory, by mapping the ingredients for an Assembly Item and leaving stock updating in the hands of this automation feature.

• By planning and mapping the right ingredients required, wastage of ingredients will be highly reduced

• Avoid the act of pilferage in your business by mapping the ingredients in advance. Because it may even lead to out-of-stock all of a sudden.
