1. If you want to see Assembly class items in item list views in POS or Manager go to Manager, File, Configuration, Options, Item options, and make sure "Always display Find for items " is not checked.
Now the list view will show assemblies along with matrix class codes plus a new column will appear labeled Item Type.
Assemblies are groups of different items typically sold together.
From F1 Help, search for "assembly" --
"Assembly items
An assembly item is essentially a bill of material that consists of existing inventory items bundled into one package and sold under a separate item lookup code. For example, assume you sold computers. One of your assembly items could consist of a monitor, a CPU, and a keyboard. Another assembly item could include a monitor, keyboard, scanner, and printer.
There are two main differences between a kit item and an assembly item. When a customer purchases or returns a kit (i.e. First Aid Kit) item, the individual components do not increment or decrement. However, when a customer purchases an assembly item, Store Operations updates the sales and in-stock quantity of all the items contained in the assembly item. For example, if you sold a computer assembly item, the quantities for each individual component (monitor, keyboard, scanner, and printer) would decrement.
The second difference is that when cashiers ring up an assembly item, they can modify the quantity, price, and/or tax status for each item component. If the customer wanted to purchase the assembly item but did not want to buy one of the components (i.e. printer), you could delete the printer item on the transaction screen. Store Operations would then adjust the sales total"
2. If you want to sell boxed items in the box or separately use the Parent/Child feature where the Parent item is the box and child is the individual item. The parent and child items have separate Item Lookup Codes. You can scan a box to sell the box or scan the child item to sell one item from the box.
From F1 Help, search for "parent" or "child" --
"Parent item: Displays the item lookup code of the parent of this item. A parent item is an item that contains a set quantity of a single item. When the on-hand quantity for the single item is depleted, the parent item is "opened up" so that the total number of single items it contains is now seen as the on-hand quantity for the single item. This option is also know as "breaking" and is useful in extracting single units from carton or case inventories. The total number of single items the parent contains is displayed in the Child Quantity field.
Child quantity: The number of child items contained within a parent item. For example, it would be the number of packages within a certain carton"
First create the parent item for the box/carton. Next create the child item and assign Parent under the Special tab and indicate quantity contained in the box. For example, the parent box contains 10 child items.
