Inventory Assembly

We sell soap that comes in a kit. We buy the kit then mix with water to get the final product. One kit will make about 180 gallons of soap. We sell it by the gallon. How do I use an assembly in Point of sale to build 1 kit into 180 gallons. Point of sale will not let me enter a fraction into the Qty/Units in an assembly to build the final product.

I found the answer. I had a negative amount of inventory for the 1 gallon soap assembly because we have sold some. I did an adjustment to get it to zero inventory. Then I went back to the assembly and entered my Qty/Unit as .0055 and it accepted it.

IS THERE A WAY TO PRINT OR REPORT OUT THE ITEMS INCLUDED IN A PARTICULAR "ASSEMBLY"?
