Introduction to Items and the Production Module
This register is fully described here.When entering assembled Items, a distinction should be made between Items that are assembled at the moment of delivery and those that are assembled in advance of delivery and held in stock. This distinction is made using the Item Type options on the 'Pricing' card. In both cases, the assembly process (the components used, and the quantities required) is governed by a Recipe.

Stocked Items
Use this option for Items which are assembled in advance of delivery and which are to be held in stock. Assembly of such Items is carried out using the Production register. When a Production record is marked as "Finished", the stock levels of the Input Items (the components) are reduced, and the stock of the Output Item (the assembled Item) is increased.A component can itself be an assembled Item. This must be a Stocked Item, itself produced using a Production record. When such a sub-assembly is produced, its stock will be increased. When it is used as a component, its stock will be decreased. An assembled Item can be made up of several levels of sub-assemblies.

Structured Items
Use this option for Items that are assembled at the moment the delivery is made. Structured Items are never held in stock: when they are delivered to Customers, stock levels of their components are reduced.---

Phantom Items
A "Phantom Item" is a Plain Item with a Recipe. This is an Item that only exists momentarily during a complex Production process. If the Recipe representing the Production process has a Routing, the various stages or Operations in the Routing can produce sub-assemblies to be used later in the process. These sub-assemblies can be Phantom Items. The components used to produce a Phantom Item will be removed from stock at the relevant point but, being a Plain Item, the Phantom Item will never be held in stock.
