Assembly Item
An assembly item is an inventory item made of several components, but identified as a single item. Assemblies are manufactured by combining raw materials you stock.
You create assembly item records to define the members of an assembly, then NetSuite enables you to track both the raw materials and the assembled items separately.
For example, an Wolfe Electronics sells a computer called Creativo 2400 that they assemble in-house. The Creativo 2400 computer is assembled from these inventory components: one Superion 2 GHz processor, one Creativo 2400 motherboard, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, one Superion sound card, and one power supply.
NetSuite tracks the stock of the Creativo 2400 and each component item separately. Then, Wolfe can track the stock level of Creativo 2400 in inventory and available to ship to customers, and the quantity of materials available to assemble more.
