A Bill of Materials Build Profile can be created when users wants to create or build the finished products from other products and include other costs associated with the build. The example shown below is a profile for the build of a 3 pack of Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls from individual bowls that are purchased and sold as individual products, in this situation it was created as the suppliers were out of stock of the 3packs. Builds can be created for any product that is built from other products and can also incorporate labour and other costs.
