I'm a bit confused by your statement about pending builds. What do you mean by "can't find the assemblies to fix them"? The pending build report lists the builds, you can open the build and see what it is for, and what it needs... Thank you.

It's too bad quickbooks' help section can't explain assemblies as articulately as you have here. They need you! I have 24 pending builds in my report yet I can't find the assemblies to fix them. I hope you have an article on that. Very good article. It’s too bad quickbooks’ help section can’t explain assemblies as articulately as you have here. They need you!

I went to enter assemblies and see this is not an option in this version of the software. Are there any work arounds that you can give me to accomplish this? I build computers and need to account for the parts I use against my inventory. Any help would be much appreciated. I purchased QuickBooks Pro 2009.

QuickBooks isn't entirely suited for this kind of manufacturing. However, the way to deal with this is that you need to set up the BOM to make one unit of the assembly. Let's say it is gallons. You take 10 gallons of A and 1 gallon of B to make 11 gallons of mix. If you sell your mix by the gallon, you have to set the BOM up by gallon. One gallon of mix contains .90909 gallon of A and .0909 gallon of B. When you make one batch you issue a build for 11 gallons of mix. That will consume the appropriate amount of A and B, with a small rounding error (I think it uses .999 gallon of B in this case). That is how I would work with QB in this case.

What I have when combined is 11. When I try to build however it dosen't add them together. How do I adjust this? In building an assembly I mix two liquids together in a 10 + 1 ratio.

I really wish QB would put the date at the top of the build form. I hate getting to the bottom, changing the date, then seeing there's a problem. Nice article.
