On a Assembly Item, we need to have a Bill of Materials(BOM). When you create a Inventory Item, you don’t need to capture the BOM ...

Anybody want to take a crack at this? I'm planning on building a lot of new tables this upcoming long weekend and it would be a great help to have some overall conceptual understanding of the Item table(s) structure. Cheers, James
