You can have products that point to other products (Built products, sometimes called kits). You can have a base product in one category and another product that points to this product with a different category.
Example:
Create a bottle of whiskey and have a shot glass product deduct from the bottles inventory.
1) Create a regular product for the bottle of whiskey (base product).
2) Create a second product (shot glass) as normal but press the Built Parts button.
3) Use the Add button to find and point to the base product (bottle of whiskey).
4) Enter a quantity of 0.031 for 1/32 of a bottle (or whatever you want).
Now when you sell the second product (shot glass) it will deduct 1/32 from the bottle.
Note: in version 8.7 and later a shortcut was added to do this in one step. Open the Product Control window, under the Tools menu are the shortcuts.

Ronald,
I don't want to show the kit parts in the sales screen. In V 8.1 you could get them to not show up or print. I can't seem to figure it out in v 8.2

In the Product definition window you can check the box Do Not Print. Check this box and the product will not be printed on the receipts. |

Excellent! I delayed purchase pending a fix for the Built Products feature. This feature is critical to my operation. I will now proceed with purchase.
The Company name is Unique Taste Buds, but delivery is to my email.
Thanks!

My query regards the related reports, not the inventory which is now OK.
As an example, use a one-part kit. The KIT costs $5.00, and is priced at $10.00. The 1 kit part costs $5.00, and is priced at $10.00.
After selling one KIT, selecting [Reports/Sales/Sales This…/Today] shows:
Total (Sales?):10.00; Total Cost:10.00; Gross Profit:0.00, Number of Sales:1; Gross Margin%:-100
Similarly, selecting [Reports/Product/Summary/All Dates] shows Profit as:
KIT:5.00; kit part:–5.00; Total:0.00.
I do not believe these results are accurate. |

You forgot to add the cost of the Base product. A kit has a base product and the parts. You have the base cost as 5 and 1 part with a cost of 5. Added together gives the total cost of 10. |

Thank you for the explanation. The mater of the "base product" escaped me altogether.
Again, thank you for your speedy response.
