How to use B/M Production Entry to assemble component items into parent bill items, and post their completion via the B/M Production Register

Resolution

Production Entry is used to add inventory quantity for the bill or parent item and reduce quantity for the component items. The cost of the inventory created is based on the total component cost divided by the quantity completed. The cost of the components is determined by the item valuation method and the quantity available at the time of completion.
