You can enable AcctVantage to Auto-Build an Assembly item. When the item is added to a Sales Order (and there is insufficient stock to fill the sale) AcctVantage will create Inventory Maintenance records to produce the Assembly item (just like a Work Order normally does). The recipe components will be removed from stock, the Assembly will be added to stock and immediately allocated to the Sales Order. This all happens immediately during Sales Order entry. If there is insufficient quantity of the recipe components, the user will be given an alert.

Note: This feature is not to be confused with the Auto Work Order feature. The Auto-build feature bypasses the Work Order and creates the Assembly on-the-fly (similar to a Kit...except there are no Inventory Maintenance records when a Kit is sold).

The Job Costing area allows you to track income and expenses for specific projects. A Job can be anything for which you want to track associated income and expenses (e.g., Product R&D, a special project, trade show, etc.) Jobs are comprised of multiple Phases and Tasks.

AcctVantage uses various transactions (e.g., Invoices, Credit Memos, Inventory Maintenance Transactions, Purchase Orders) to record Job data. Users can also assign miscellaneous transactions directly on the Job form.
