|
## Building Parts
|
|
|
|
Build management can be accessed via the *Build* navigation tab.
|
|
|
|
A "basic" build flow is as follow:
|
|
|
|
1. create a part with the [*Assembly option*](../../part/views/#part-options) turned-on
|
|
0. add a Bill of Material (BOM)
|
|
0. create a "Build Order" for this part
|
|
0. allocate stocks from your inventory
|
|
0. update build status and notes
|
|
0. complete the build.
|
|
|
|
### Build Status
|
|
|
|
| Status | Description |
|
|
| ----------- | ----------- |
|
|
| `Pending` | "Build Order" has been created and build is ready for subpart allocation |
|
|
| `Allocated` | All subparts stocks in the part BOM have been allocated |
|
|
| `Cancelled` | Build has been cancelled |
|
|
| `Completed` | Build has been completed |
|
|
|
|
### Part BOM
|
|
|
|
A Part BOM is required to allocate inventory to a build.
|
|
|
|
Read through the [Bill of Materials documentation](../bom).
|
|
|
|
### Build Order
|
|
|
|
Builds orders are used to create parts builds.
|
|
|
|
To create a build order for your part, you have two options:
|
|
|
|
1. navigate to the Part detail page, click on "Build Orders" tab then click on "Start New Build" button
|
|
0. navigate to the Build page, click on "New Build Order".
|
|
|
|
{% with id="build_start_new", url="build/build_start_new.png", description="Start New Build Form" %}
|
|
{% include 'img.html' %}
|
|
{% endwith %}
|
|
|
|
Fill-out the form then click the "Submit" button to create the build.
|
|
|
|
### Stock Allocation
|
|
|
|
To allocate stock for a build, you have two options:
|
|
|
|
1. **automatic** allocation: if each subpart has only **one** storage location, InvenTree can allocate stock from this location automatically
|
|
0. **manual** allocation: user can define allocation for each subpart in the build.
|
|
|
|
During allocation, InvenTree relies on [Stock items](../../stock/stock/#stock-item) to reference parts that will be used for the build. Make sure to read through the [stock documentation](../../stock/stock) before proceeding with stock allocation.
|
|
|
|
#### Automatic Allocation
|
|
|
|
Click on the "Allocated Parts" tab then click on the "Auto Allocate" button to automatically allocate stock for this build.
|
|
|
|
The `Allocate Stock` form will be displayed. Verify each subpart automatic allocation, click on the confirmation switch, then click on the "Submit" button to process the stock allocation.
|
|
|
|
#### Manual Allocation
|
|
|
|
Click on the "Allocated Parts" tab then click on the <span class='fas fa-plus'></span> icon next to each subpart in the build to manually allocate stock.
|
|
|
|
The `Allocate new Part` form will be displayed. Select a `Stock Item` and fill-out the `Quantity` field then click on the "Submit" button to allocate stock for this subpart.
|
|
|
|
#### Unallocate
|
|
|
|
Click on the "Allocated Parts" tab then click on the "Unallocate" button to unallocate stock items allocated for this build.
|
|
|
|
### Cancel Build
|
|
|
|
To cancel a build, click on <span class='fas fa-times-circle'></span> icon on the build detail page.
|
|
|
|
The `Cancel Build` form will be displayed, click on the confirmation switch then click on the "Cancel Build" button to process the build cancellation.
|
|
|
|
!!! warning "Cancelled Build"
|
|
**A cancelled build cannot be re-opened**. Make sure to use the cancel option only if you are certain that the build won't be processed.
|
|
|
|
### Complete Build
|
|
|
|
To complete a build, click on <span class='fas fa-tools'></span> icon on the build detail page, the `Complete Build` form will be displayed.
|
|
|
|
!!! info "Incomplete Allocation"
|
|
If the warning message `Warning: Build order allocation is not complete` is shown, make sure to allocate stock for the build before proceeding with build completion.
|
|
|
|
Select a `Location` to store the resulting parts from the build then click on the confirmation switch.
|
|
Finally, click on the "Complete Build" button to process the build completion.
|
|
|
|
!!! warning "Completed Build"
|
|
**A completed build cannot be re-opened**. Make sure to use the confirm only if you are certain that the build is complete.
