Question

Build Assembly

I am building a machine where various machinist are providing subassemblies where we will assemble to the finished good.  Simple enough since we received the parts (subassemblies) in inventory and then run Build Assembly in QB.

However, there are some subassemblies where we are purchasing some of the part and sending them to the machinist to use in the subassembly they will provide.  How do I account for the parts we are purchasing and sending to the machinist in the cost for the subassembled item (with the parts we purchased and sent) the machinist is invoicing?

I hope this makes sense.

Sounds like double counting. When you issue a build command, QB takes the parts out of inventory and adds them together to make the assembly item. That stocks the assembly item, there is no need to receive it in inventory again.

 

recieve the part purchased as inventory items, and include them in the BOM for the assembly item, then when you build the assembly item they will be used just as any inventory item would be.

 

Use assembly items, after they are built, in the BOM for the next higher assembly.
