Add an 'explosion' assembled item

You can add an assembled item of the Explosion type for which the stock is not tracked. The parts are registered in the sales process.

To add an 'explosion' assembled item:

2. Click on: New. 
3. Enter an Item code and a Description.
4. Select the Changeable description check box if, for example, you still want to be able to change the description when adding an order.
5. Select the Article group the article belongs to. Per article group, you record how Profit should process purchases and sales in Profit Financieel.
6. In Assembled item type, select Explosion.

   The Track stock check box is automatically deselected. Profit does not track stock for an assembled item of the type 'explosion'.

7. Select the Basic unit. You record the order lines using this basic unit. You can later on deviate from the basic unit, if necessary.
8. Select the Generate order lines check box so Profit adds lines for all articles that are part of an assembled item to an order. If you deselect his check box, only the header line, i.e. the line of the assembled item of the Explosion type, is shown in the order. If you create blanket orders for this type of assembled item, this check box must be selected.

   When you select the Generate order lines check box, you can no longer select a price determination yourself. In that case, Profit generates a fixed price determination. This generated price is greyed out and cannot be changed.

   The options above are only relevant for assembled items of the Explosion type; they cannot be used for the Assembly and Product types.

    1. For the Header price option, you use the price for the entire assembled item that you add using the Price composition action.
    2. Price calculated based on basic prices contains the price that is calculated using the sales prices from the parts as they appear in the articles' properties. How the sales prices of the underlying parts (articles) of the assembled item are calculated is not relevant. This could be a manually entered amount or it could be a calculated price (using fixed settlement price or purchase price, etc.).
    3. With Price calculated based on debtor, the price that is calculated from the prices specified in the parts per debtor/sales contact applies.
11. Add the parts.
12. Go to the tab: Extra.
