How do I build assemblies?

Go to Settings›Inventory›Inventory List and click Actions›+ Add New Assembly. An assembly packages services, inventory items and non-inventory items together, so you can add common combinations or promotions to estimates and invoices in one step.

Create an assembly

  1. Go to Settings›Inventory›Inventory List.

    The Inventory List page under Settings > Inventory

  2. Click Actions›+ Add New Assembly.

  3. Fill in the basic info:

    • Name (required): for example, HVAC Tune-Up Package.
    • SKU: a unique code for tracking.
    • Configurable: check it if the price varies (for example, by job size). Leave it unchecked for a fixed price.
    • Non-Taxable: check it if the assembly isn't taxed.
    Watch: Filling in an assembly's name, SKU, Configurable and Non-Taxable
  4. Add parts:

    • In Parts Name, search for and pick an inventory or non-inventory item.
    • Set the quantity (default is 1).
    • Click + Add Part for each extra item. Click X to remove one.
    Watch: Adding parts to an assembly
  5. Add services:

    • In Services Name, search for and pick a service.
    • Set how many times it's performed (default is 1).
    • Click + Add Service for each extra service. Click X to remove one.
  6. Add pricing and description:

    • Sales Price/Rate: the standard selling price. Hidden when Configurable is checked. To set the price of a configurable assembly, go to Settings›Inventory›Inventory List, click the assembly and edit its price.
    • Sales Description: what's included.
  7. Click Save. The assembly appears in the Inventory List.

    Watch: Adding the price and description, then saving the assembly

Edit an assembly

In the Inventory List, click the assembly, make your changes and click Save. Inactive assemblies can't be edited; reactivate them first.

Watch: Editing an assembly

Deactivate, reactivate or delete an assembly

  • Deactivate: check one or more assemblies in the Inventory List, click Actions›Make Inactive and confirm. Use this if you no longer offer the assembly but want to keep it.

    Watch: Making an assembly inactive
  • Reactivate: in the inactive list (Actions›Show Inactive), check the assembly, click Actions›Make Active and confirm.

    Watch: Making an inactive assembly active again
  • Delete: the assembly must be inactive first. In the inactive list, check it, click Actions›Delete and confirm. Deleting is permanent and may affect past data or transactions.

Common questions

What happens if I use a name that already exists?

A message asks whether to continue. Yes creates a second assembly with the same name. No cancels.

Is this the same as a pricebook assembly?

Yes. Inventory assemblies and pricebook assemblies (flat rates) are the same. See also How do I set up my pricebook?
