Unbuild Assembly Items

After you complete an inventory build, you may need to unbuild some assemblies. For example, Wolfe Manufacturing receives an order for one hundred mountain bikes. While building the bicycles, the customer cancels the order. Wolfe unbuilds the assembly items that are not sold, and maintains the stock as raw materials.

Unbuilding an assembly updates inventory levels on records for the finished assembly item and for each member component individually. For each assembly you unbuild:

• the assembly item stock level decreases

• the member item’s individual stock levels increase

There are two methods to unbuild an assembly:

• You can unbuild an assembly from the Assembly Build transaction.

• You can generate a new unbuild transaction.

To learn more, see Unbuilding an Assembly From the Assembly Build Transaction.
