What is true about assembly items?

Assembly items are best understood as singular products that are made up of various components. This means that an assembly item is not simply a collection of parts but is treated as a cohesive whole in inventory management and production processes. Each assembly item can consist of multiple components, which are individually managed within the inventory system but, once assembled, are sold as a single product.

This distinction is crucial because it highlights how assembly items function differently from items that might be sold as kits or packages, which may not necessarily represent a finished product requiring building. Furthermore, the management of these items allows for more accurate tracking of inventory levels, costs, and production efficiency, enabling a business to manage its resources more effectively.
