Assemble Items from Components 

If you assemble or build inventory items from components, 
Simply Accounting can keep track of both the components and 
the assembled items. For example, assume you keep a supply of 
hinges, wood, and glue, which are used to build doors. Each 
time you build a door, you can enter a transaction in the Item 
Assembly window to: 

■ 

Reduce your stock for the components used in 
manufacturing. 

■ 

Account for additional costs, such as labour. 

■ 

Add the manufactured item to your stock. 

Tip:  If you are using Simply Accounting Pro and plan to 
manufacture or assemble this item often, you should set up a bill 
of materials. Then, save time when you next manufacture this 
item by recalling the entry with details already filled in. To set 
up a bill of materials, fill in the Build tab in the inventory record, 
as described under “Make a List of the Items and Services You 
Buy and Sell,” earlier in this chapter.   

1.  In the Home window, choose Bill of Materials and Item 

Assembly. (If you are not using Simply Accounting Pro, the 
icon is called Item Assembly.)  

2.  If you are using Simply Accounting Pro and want to use a 

list of components you have previously set up for an 
inventory item, select Build From Bill Of Materials in the first 
field.
