Thanks for your time visiting the QuickBooks forum, @esrperf2020,
I'd like to share some information about invoicing assemblies in QuickBooks Desktop.
When you add an assembly to a sale, it will not deduct to the individual inventory items in the Bill of Materials. This is because, an assembly is treated as one item consisting a set of products or services, and it has its own quantity.
Once it is assigned to an invoice, it will reduce the quantity assigned to it. See this:
The only time the quantity of inventory items are reduced is if you assign them directly to an invoice or you build an assembly. Take a look at this example:
Inventory Part QTY 1 AF002
There is nothing wrong with the process you're doing. However, if you want to reduce the quantity for an inventory part and not the assembly itself, use the second example I've shown you.
Assign the items in the BOM individually on the sales transaction. It should look like this:
To learn more about assemblies and how to use them, see the following links:
Let me know if you have any other questions about this. I'll be right here to help you with any inventory concerns and all other things related to QuickBooks. Have a lovely day!
