Enable inventory reservation from component products
If the parent product has component parts and you want to subtract the inventory of the child product, turn on ``If the product has components, create goods receipts and issues using the inventory of the components'' in the action settings. Items with no configuration are automatically processed with the parent item's inventory, so an inventory transaction is created in both cases.
Configuration steps
- Open the Create receipt/issue record action on the workflow editing screen.
- Check Use data from trigger.
- Turn on Automatically create inventory if inventory does not exist as necessary (automatically generates inventory even if inventory for child parts is not created).
- **If the product has a configuration, check Create receipts and issues with the inventory of the configuration.
- Under Select composition layers, specify "All composition layers" or 1 to 3 layers.
- Save your changes and start the workflow.
Points of operation
- If the component exists: Creates an issue (or receipt) for the child part of the specified layer.
- If the component does not exist: Create the same receipt or issue in the parent item's inventory.
- If you turn on "Automatically create inventory", the transaction will be registered after automatically generating uncreated inventory for both child parts and parent items.
