Items on PO and Inventory

Thank you for sharing the details of your inventories, Andromat. I'm here to clarify when quantity increases so you can keep track of your assemblies accordingly.

A Purchase Order with inventory you plan to receive and get a bill for is a non-posting transaction. It does not affect your accounting. Therefore, there should be no increase in your assembly's quantity.

Additionally, you can use the Receive Inventory with or without a bill when acquiring the items and the corresponding bills. Doing so will allow you to start building and posting the assembly. This guide will help you do this: Receive inventory.

Moreover, I'd like to know if you have received any items. To review, open the PO and check the Transactions tab on the right panel. If there are receipts and bills, add them to your response below so I can get back with another resolution. Otherwise, you can right-click the transaction to Delete if you've incorrectly accepted it.

Here's an article about grouping products for more details: Combine your inventory items to build finished goods (assemblies).
