Assembly Build
An assembly item is an inventory item made of several components, but identified as a single item. This type of item lets you define the members of an assembly and to separately track both the component items and the assembled items in inventory. For each assembly build, the assembly item stock level increases and the member items' individual stock levels decrease.
An assembly build transaction records the physical manufacture of an assembly item from component items and the related inventory level changes.
For details about this type of transaction, see Building Assembly Items. For details about this type of item, see Assembly Items.
The assembly build record is defined in the tranInvt (inventory) XSD.
Supported Operations
The following operations can be used with the assembly build record.
add | addList | delete | deleteList | get | getDeleted | getList | getSavedSearch | getSelectValue | initialize / initializeList | search | update | updateList | upsert | upsertList
You can also use the asynchronous equivalents of SOAP web services list operations. For information about asynchronous operations, see SOAP Web Services Asynchronous Operations. For more information about request processing, see Synchronous Versus Asynchronous Request Processing.

Usage Notes
Accessing Serial/Lot or Bin Data for Line Items
As of the 2011.2 endpoint, code to access serial number, lot number, and bin number data varies according to whether the Advanced Bin Management / Numbered Inventory Management feature is enabled.
-
If this feature is enabled, you must use the 2011.2 endpoint or later to access the Inventory Detail subrecord and the most up-to-date bin and numbered inventory fields. You need to update any SOAP web services code from a previous endpoint that accesses these fields, to avoid errors or unexpected results.
-
If this feature is not enabled, you do not need to use the Inventory Detail record to access bin and numbered inventory fields and you do not need to update any related SOAP web services code from prior to 2011.2.
For more details, see Updating SOAP Web Services Code When Advanced Bin / Numbered Inventory Management is Enabled.
