Overview
This section sits under built-in reports and has two pages. One describes assembly reports and analytics, which give insights and statistics about current and past assembly activities for production and business professionals. The other explains assembly BOMs, which define the structure of a parent item assembled from components and resources.
Start with the assembly BOM page if you need to set up or maintain the structure of assembled items, including multi-level BOMs and cost calculation. Use the reports and analytics page when you want to review assembly activity and item availability.
