this effects the selling pricing of inventory assemblies and is an issue that needs to be resolved.   QB needs to do is when setting up "Inventory Assemblies" for QB to take the pricing i have already entered into QB for the individual parts that are in the assembly and use the "selling price" of each item instead of cost for the Retail Sales Price for this Assembly.    For Manufacturing using cost is the total wrong way to figure the selling price, .  for Example:  i build a IA using 30 different Widgets,  but my cost margins are not the same on these widgets. 

I am building the assembly is using many of different parts with different cost values.  and when i enter all my parts into inventory i set the retail selling price for each part.    and the retail price is what IA should be using.   the same as QB building a group this uses my preset retail pricing, perfect.  but inventory assembly does not why?  makes IA useless
