Composite items must include non inventory items and services
95% of what we sell are composite items. Not all components that make up a composite item are inventory items. So we are back to square one. We can build half an item in Zoho with no services included which is not an item we sell. Which manufacturers are producing products with no work associated with that assembly? How are people using the composite item feature without this? This feature is getting very close and I want very much to use Zoho Inventory, but without this I just cant. Creating services as inventory items jacks up your books.

Do we have an update on a better approach for the composite items?
We have SKU for each individual items we sell. And we also create a combo package that include several items.
We need a composite items that have individual items listed and account for inventory. -

Moved to development 2016 we are in 2018 and still cannot add a service to a composite item?

i would also like to see the ability to create composite items with just one single unit of another item, at the moment it forces me that if you only use one SKU, that the quantity must be greater than 1.
we want to sell an item with different descriptions but have it control the stock of the base item -

When will composite items be able to include non inventory / service items? Assembly, labor, fees and so on?

Hi guys if anyone is monitoring these threads, how close is this? We are getting ready for 2017 budgeting and trying to decide if Zoho/inventory/books/manufacturing will be ready with the above described functionality this coming year?
