Sometimes you might not have enough in stock for a particular product, but you might have the individual items that make up the final item. To save you time checking the individual product records, you can use the Check Bill Of Materials option to see if you have enough stock available. This checks the individual components to see if you have enough to make up a quantity of an assembly you have set up on the BOM tab of the product record.
If you don't have enough in stock you can create the required purchase order from this window.
In the Qty Req box enter the quantity of the product you want to make up > Check.
