There are two methods of handling assemblies of products in the Aptify Inventory Control system:
- Dynamic Component Inventory
- Manually Fabricated Assemblies
...
Manually fabricated assemblies are used when products are actually being pre-built and inventories are being tracked both at the component level and at the assembly product level itself.

Dynamic inventory control is used for products that contain other products, but the assembly of the products does not occur until the goods are shipped to the customer. This method is primarily used for marketing bundles and promotions to offer special discounts and promotions to customers.

For products that are prefabricated, and therefore must carry their own inventory levels separate from the assembly/component parts, the Use Assembly Inventory option should remain unchecked. If left unchecked, Aptify Inventory Control adds or reduces inventory as needed on the product level itself, and the assembly parts are not directly affected. The assembly still builds and breaks-up products from or into component parts, but the logic to do so is separated from the individual inventory changes made for each order.
