As a distributor and a retailer we buy displays from a supplier.
The displays contains several different products with individual prices, barcodes etc. 
Does Nav have a built in function for this?

    Hi,

    The best practice for this depends on your internal processes.

    I can imagine three possible scenarios:

    1) Enter the single products in the PO (disadvantage: you do not have visibility which products you'd have to 'break down')

    2) Create a BOM on the single products. The Quantity would represent a percentage of how many of a single product is in a display. E.g. 1 display consists of 10 items. The quantity in the BOM would be 0.2 when one product appears two times in a display. Using an Assembly Order you can create a document to handle the 'break down' of a display. To 'assemble' one single product, you will post a negative adjustment of 0.2 displays (disadvantage: you could have an inventory with decimals)

    3) Enter the transactions in an Item Journal: -1 display, +2 single product A, +3 single product B etc. This is a good solution when the contents of the displays varies (disadvantage: you would have to enter the lines manually.)

    Last but not least, a customization might offer you an integration your are looking for. Such kind of customization could be based on the Item Journals and generate the lines automatically.
