If you haven't already, please read our Stock Management Introduction article first. 

Overview

It's possible to track the stock for an item that is made up of one or more components. An example of where you may wish to do this:

  • Restaurant: A drink made up of multiple ingredients
  • Restaurant: A glass of wine where you purchase wine in bottles
  • Restaurant: Food dishes where you wish to track the ingredients
  • Retail: A set of golf clubs where you also sell the clubs individually
  • Retail: A product where you buy the good separately but sell them together
