The total number of parts will be calculated depending on how many pieces you specify making in the "Pieces Made" field and displayed next to the Qty.

 

Any parts added to make up a piece will automatically be removed from your Inventory Pieces list. This is displayed on the list view as "Quantity" and the detailed view "In Stock" field to show what you have in stock.

 

Note - The popup will also show you the latest purchase info for the part as well when expanded.

 

Once you have added in your parts to create a piece it will show details similar to this:

 

 

• Qty = Number of parts to make one piece
• Total = Number of parts to create the number of pieces made
• Unit Price = Individual price per unit of part
• Ext Price = Total cost of parts to create one piece

 

 

There are several tabs within the Inventory Pieces screen;

 

• Pricing:
  Enter all the details required for the parts required to make a piece.  The cost price of the piece will automatically be calculated in the cost tab (shown in next section below).
  
  
  
  
• Dimensions, Weights, Volumes:
  This section will allow you to enter a finished size for your piece and also calculate the weight and/or volume based on the parts that have been used.
  
  In the example below the size has been entered as 40 cm and then converted to inches.
  
  The weight is calculated from the Green Beads.  30 beads at 5grams each = 150grams
  
  Volume would be calculated in the same way in the volume tab for any parts that have a volume entered in for them.
  
  All these values may be manually overridden.
  
  

 

• Parts Inventory:
  Shows you the stock levels for the parts required to make the piece.
  
  

 

• Assembly Instructions:
   Allows you to keep detailed notes on how you created a piece for future reference.

The categories that appear in the drop down are based on previously entered values in the category field.

Therefore, if you want to minimise the categories that appear in the list, you need to change existing part records and edit the categories there.
