Build Assembly (On-Order) - Stock Control

This option is processed identically to the option ‘Build Assembly (Physical)’. However instead of updating the quantity as physical stock the on-order quantity is updated instead – when ready to update physical you then enter a ‘purchase order delivered’ transaction through the stock transaction option. Note that if building sub-assemblies then the main item of the sub-assembly is updated for on-order quantity as well.
