Assembly Kits
Also known as: Item Assemblies, Kit Items, Assembly Build
The Assembly tab allows you to create items that represent a sum of other items. When enabled, an “Assembly Kit” becomes its own item but is tied to the quantities of its component parts.
Enabling an Assembly Kit
- Navigate to the Items module from the Dashboard.
- Create or edit the item you want to use as a kit.
- Check Assembly Kit Enabled.
- The Assembly tab will appear.
- On the Assembly tab, add the component items and their required quantities.
- Save changes.
How Assemblies Work
- The Assembly Kit is issued like a normal item.
- When issued, the system automatically deducts quantities of the component items from inventory.
- The kit itself does not hold stock — inventory is tracked at the component level.
Example:
Assembly Kit = Starter Pack
- 1 × Safety Glasses
- 2 × Gloves (Pair)
- 1 × Dust Mask
Issuing 1 Starter Pack deducts these items from inventory.
Editing or Removing Assemblies
- To edit quantities, change the number on the Assembly tab.
- To remove an item from the assembly, delete it from the list.
- To disable the assembly kit, remove all items from the Assembly tab and uncheck Assembly Kit Enabled.
Assembly Kits at the Kiosk
- Employees see the Assembly Kit as one item.
- When they check it out, the linked items are deducted automatically.
- If any component is out of stock, the system will not issue the kit.
FAQ
What is the difference between an Assembly Kit and a regular item?
An Assembly Kit is a “virtual item” that consumes multiple other items when issued.
Can an item be both a normal stock item and part of an assembly?
Yes. Items can be issued individually and also be part of one or more assembly kits.
What happens if one of the components is out of stock?
The assembly cannot be issued until all required items are available.
Can assemblies be nested?
No. You cannot include an assembly kit inside another assembly kit.
