Is there a way to create a SKU that is made up of different components for which there are already unique SKUs?

For example, at our building supply, we sell cedar boards, pressure treated boards and screws, all of which have unique SKUs. We also produce and sell panels for cottage docks that use certain amounts of each of the aforementioned items (boards and screws).
Is there a way to create a SKU for a cottage dock panel that uses the correct quantities of board and screw SKUs?

Thanks!

Yes!

It's called a "Bill of Materials". You Assemble the master item before selling it, and the components are removed from inventory. You can add fixed and variable costs to the Assembly.

The Bill of Materials Add-on will Auto-Assemble a master item if it appears on an order and you do not have sufficient inventory of the master item on hand. The add-on also allows you to "Un-Assemble" an item back to its component parts.

Absolutely!

You can use JobTracker to assemble an item from component parts. The job can be copied from a template of component SKU's to make 1 or more final SKU's. Additional costs, parts and or labour can be added to the job if required. Then the job can be manufactured to add the quantity of the SKU built to inventory. Component SKU's are removed from inventory in the process.
