Thanks for the heads up on this. I will make sure to create a ticket for situations where a + may be used in a filter.

I was able to implement as you suggested but ran into a bug. We have items that have a "+" in their name and would not work for the grid filter where the Assembly Item = the Item Group or Assembly List Item Name. I had to add a hidden Assembly Item Record ID onto the screen and use that instead. So, reported bug appears to be if the criteria a filter is using has a "+" in the field, it can't resolve a match for the filter.

The individual items of an Assembly list are stored in the ItemGroupOrAssemblyList table, what you can do is link in the QuantityOnHand field into that table based on item and add a detached grid to your screen based on that table that is filtered by Assembly item from screen. This way you can see what makes up the Assembly and the QuanityOnHand for each item of the Assembly.

What I found is that Method was unable to prevent you from trying to build an assembly that doesn't have enough parts to build, therefore it wouldn't populate line items/sync with QB. We would really like to see the list of items and available QTY before building and a QTY can build at the top of the form. Otherwise they have no idea they can't build the assembly as they might be missing a subassembly.

I added the BuildAssemblyLineItem as an attached grid to the screen and after saving my Build Assembly and reselecting the Assembly it populates the grid. One thing that I would would suggest is changing the Save All Sections to a Save Section and save the Add/Edit Build Assembly section in the Save button as well as add a refresh grid action.

Assembly Builds have no member items to populate

I am using the default screen that came with the Warehouse module and the Assembly Build screen allows entry of the main line, but no line items/members. I made a copy of the screen afterwards and customized it by adding the Line grid as it relates to the active record and after building an assembly, it doesn't populate any of the lines. As a result, it does not sync with QB. Please assist.
