If a product consists of a number of other products then it has a bill of materials (BOM). The BOM is a list of all the other products or sub-components that make up the final product or product assembly. In Sage Accounts you can have up to 50 items in a BOM.
For example, a toolkit is a product assembly that consists of the following components - a tool box, a spanner set and a screwdriver.
In this toolkit example, the spanner set could itself consist of two different spanners. It would be called a sub-assembly of the main assembly.
In Sage 50 Accounts, each product assembly, sub-assembly and component should be set up as separate product records, then you can set up a bill of materials to link them all together.
