Assembly Pricing and Printing (A)
How an Assembly is priced and how it prints out on an invoice, is determined by the code that is used in the Unit field on the "I" screen where the Assembly Code was setup.

B in the Unit field means that the Assembly price is determined by totaling the list price of each individual item. Each item is listed on the invoice with its own price.

BK in the Unit field means that the Assembly price is set manually in the List Price field on the "I" screen of the Assembly Item. This price is displayed on the Assembly Item line of the invoice. Each item that makes up the assembly is listed on the invoice without a price.

BN in the Unit field means that the Assembly price is set manually in the List Price field on the "I" screen of the Assembly Item. This price is displayed on the Assembly Item line of the invoice. The items that make up the assembly are not listed on the invoice though they do appear on the screen.

The Purpose of the Assembly Screen (A)
This is used for applications where a group of inventory items is priced and sold as a unit or assembly. This screen is used to enter the Assembly code and list all the individual items under it. The computer calculates the price of the assembly by adding the List Price of each item.
