How To: Create Build Stock Items using Warehouse Control

Warehouse Location Control is an Advanced User feature. It contains complex, resource-intensive functionality and a decision to begin using it should therefore not be taken lightly.

Build items are constructed from other stock items. By default no automatic stock movements occur when build items are added to sales orders as the quantity built via the relationships tab affects the stock level.

Creating a new Build Parent Stock Item

1. Open a Stock screen (show me how).
2. Press Ctrl+N or click .
3. Define the parent item (stock code, description, pricing and stock types).
4. Press Ctrl+S or click to save.
5. Define the Primary Pick Location where the Parent Item will be stored after it has been built.
   Note: the built item will only be stored in the first Primary Pick Location that has space available. If there is no space then an error will be returned.

Adding Build Child Items

1. Open the [ Stock | Detail | Relationships ] tab.
2. Press Alt+E or click to enter edit mode.
3. Set the Relationship Type to 'Build' from the drop down box.
4. Use the to add stock items to the build (the Stock dialog box will appear to make selections from).
   Note: you cannot add SCS Parent Items.
5. Enter the quantity of the selected item that you wish to added to the build.
6. Click on OK in the Quantity popup.
7. Add all items you wish to be included in the build.
8. Press Ctrl+S or click to save.
   
   

Notes:

• The Auto Build option in [ System Values | Stock ] works with warehouse control functionality and places the parent item in ARRIVALS.
