What’s the difference between Assembly Item and Product Groups?

Assembly item and Product group may seem the same as they include a group of items which are under one item in the list of Product/services in kpi.com. However, they are not the same and have distinctive differences between each other.

Product Group is used when you often enter the same items and their quantity while recording sale or purchase form. You can make a group of inventory, non-inventory and service items include in one product group. You can avoid entering the same line items each time individually and add only one product group of items.

Assembly items let you combine inventory items and all these inventories make a new price into new finished goods that you offer to your customers. Also in assembly item, you can add assembly cost or other services which should be included in the list of Bill of materials.
