If the system option to Update Stock to Nominal is switched on, the system option Create Movements is also selected and cannot be changed unless Update Stock to Nominal is switched off.

The Create Movements option for Assemblies is found on the Assemblies tab card in Stock Options. If selected, Stock Movement Transactions will be generated for the Components when an Assembly is created.

When using Update Stock to Nominal, a new option is available in the Assembly Movement transaction, Do not Update Nominal.

This option is at the top of the Header window.

If set, Stock Movement Transactions will be generated for the Components when an Assembly is created but no Stock update to Nominal will occur even though the system option to Update Stock to Nominal is switched on.

If not set, the system works as follows.

Adjustments will be made to the Balance Sheet values.

Component Stock will be reduced

Stock of Finished Goods will be increased

Where Price records have been used, Cost of Sales or Overheads in the Profit and Loss account will be reduced by the amount attributed to capitalisation of non-stock costs.

Each movement in and each movement out will appear as a line of the journal.

Stock - The Nominal codes used in the journal will be determined by the Analysis codes entered onto the Stock or Sub Analysis window.

For a Component moving out, the Balance Sheet account is the CREDIT account from the Default Stock Analysis for SOP.

For an Assembly moving in, the Balance Sheet account is the DEBIT account from the Default Stock Analysis for POP.

If none are set, the System default Stock Analyses are used.

Price records - Against each price record it is possible to store the Nominal code to be updated when a Price record is used in an Assembly.

The Nominal code is stored on the Info window on the Price record.

System Default - A default Nominal code for Non Stock Costs in P&L is recorded on the Assemblies tab in Stock Options.

Variance in Assembly Costs - Any difference between the Component costs, including Price records, and the Assembly costs will be posted to the System default Non Stock Costs account with the description of Variance in Assembly Costs.

Component Cost in B/S is Nominal code 76200

Assembly Cost in B/S is Nominal code 76300
