How to include bottles and labels for assembly?

First off thank you for all your support. We've decided to try assembly again:
 
Currently we'll purchase raw materials and do assembly orders on BC for a finished good(FG). The FGs will be contained in a bottle whether 90ct or 180ct.
I think what matters most is the total kg to be used which will have decimals. One issue will be the decimals will not be universal i.e. decimals places will vary each order. 
 
Not sure how to enter these bottles and labels into the system to be included in the assembly. Non-inventory items?
This will also affect cost/price calculations as these should be calculated into the orders. Basically the FG/whole bottle will have a cost/price each, etc. Then for specifics we'll see how much kg was used. We'll have BC average them as we'll assign them a lot# so then we will sell in bulk quantity.
Is there something extra we'd need to do while setting up these items, etc.?
 
Thanks in advance!

    After setting up we found:

    If raw materials (kg) are assembled to make a 90ct bottle (each), for example, how will the system calculate costs if the unit of measure is different?

    Also if I were to do a separate purchase invoice for manufacturing fees to outside party, can I link this to the assembly order like I do with shipments?
     
    Thanks!

    if you set up item as non inventory and use as components in assembly order. BC will capture only the cost of inventory items for the finished goods. The cost of non inventory item will be captured in Cost amount (Non invtbl) account. So if you want to roll up costs of everything consumed, you need to set up those items as inventory items.

    Hi, Yes, you can consider Non-Inventory, which is recommended by Microsoft.
     
    Thanks.
