Material Card - Assembled Material

An assembled material contains a number of component materials, so you can use it in the defined assembly and disassembly invoices forms. You must therefore add a new card for this assembled material, by following these steps:

Enable the Assembled Material Option​

You cannot add the components of this material before enabling the "Assembled Material" option, because the material components table appears in the card only after this option is enabled.

So go to the "Options" tab of the material card and enable the option, as follows:

Material Card

Add the Components of the Assembled Material​

After enabling the "Assembled Material" option, you can add the components of the material in the table on the "Assembled Material" tab.

Material Card

The table of components of the assembled material consists of the following fields:

Material​

Enter the name or code of the material that will become one of the components of the assembled material you are defining a card for.

Qty​

Set the quantity of this material needed to produce the assembled material.

Unit​

The default unit appears automatically after you enter the material in the table. You can change the unit of the material needed to produce the assembled material by typing it directly in the field.

Flexible​

You can prevent or allow modifying the quantity of the material set in the "Qty" field when adding an assembly or disassembly invoice.

Double-click the "Flexible" field with the left mouse button to open a list with the following options:

  • Flexible

Allows modifying the quantity. (The default option.)

  • Not flexible

Prevents modifying the quantity.

Required​

Set whether the material must be among the components of the assembled material, by double-clicking the field with the left mouse button and choosing one of the following:

  • Required

Prevents changing the material and makes it a basic material of the assembled material.

  • Not required

Allows changing or deleting the material. (The default option.)

Shared Field​

You can choose the shared field to use when you need to change one of the component materials of the assembled material.

If this component material is not available in the warehouse, you can set the field from which a material can be chosen to take its place.

Tip

To modify the quantity or change a component material while adding an assembly or disassembly invoice, enter the assembled material in the invoice table, then press F6; the "Material Components" list opens.

To save the card, make sure you have entered the data in the mandatory fields, then click "Add".
