Product assembly

in breww, assembling products is the process of building a mixed pack or multi pack product from the source components for example, if you have bottles of beer a and beer b in stock, but have sold a product that contains 3 bottles of each, in order to deliver the mixed pack product, it will first need to be assembled from these two stocks of bottles likewise, if you sell a 12 pack of bottles and only have "singles" in stock in breww disassembling refers to the opposite process for example, if you have some 24 packs of a beer in stock and a customer has ordered an individual bottle, you may need to split one 24 pack into 24 individual bottles to fulfil the order the remaining 23 bottles will be in stock still for subsequent orders (or to be assembled into other products) automatic assembly and disassembly of products breww can assemble and disassemble products automatically to fulfil your orders (we recommend using this to save you time, but if you don't want to do this, you can disable these options and manually manage your products ) to let breww automatically handle this for you, go to settings > delivery settings > auto assign products (tab) if the auto assemble/disassemble tool is enabled, product reformatting will occur at the point of stock assignment within an order when reformatting stock, breww takes into account the "theoretical max" stock value (see understanding stock levels docid\ bflgby5ndwxihnh ayq4 for more on what this means) in some cases, you may wish to have the auto assemble/disassemble tool enabled for some orders only these settings can be overwritten on a per site basis by editing the site's settings the site that applies is the order's fulfillment site if you want to assemble or disassemble products manually, see the processes described below manual assembly of products single smallpack products can be assembled into a multi pack product in the same way by going to the multipack product page (the product you would like to assemble), clicking actions and then clicking assemble product the product you are assembling will then be selected, and you will be able to enter the site where you are assembling the product, as well as the quantity being assembled screenshot 2024 07 23 at 11 27 09|690x182 you can then select the stock to use from your stock pool of individual components, and the quantity to use from a specific batch screenshot 2024 07 23 at 11 36 59|690x191 alternatively, you could head to products > tools & reports > assemble product , where you can select which product you want to assemble manual disassembly of products smallpack multi pack products can be disassembled by going to the multipack product page, clicking actions and then clicking disassemble product this will then allow you to pick the location of the product that is being disassembled and the quantity why isn't breww assembling/disassembling products into different formats on dispatch as expected? breww will only reassemble your packaging formats when you have enabled the auto assemble / auto disassemble product functions in settings > delivery settings > auto assign products , or have these account default settings overridden in the site settings (with the site in question being the order's fulfillment site) once enabled, breww will reformat your products on dispatch to ensure you're able to meet your order requirements there are a few related options to give you full control, but in a general sense, enabling these options will ensure that breww will assemble individual cans or bottles into your multi packs (e g 12 pack of bottles) and your mixed packs (e g a sample box of 6 different beers) breww can also (if you request it), disassemble your multi packs and mixed packs into their component cans/bottles as required to fulfil your orders if you prefer to always know for sure how many bottles you have as singles, plus how many in mixed packs and multi packs, you can leave these options off and manually convert between packaging formats yourself it's entirely up to you how you'd like to run your business common causes for products not assembling/disassembling if you're unable to assemble or disassemble products in breww, it’s usually due to one of the following reasons 1\ incorrect stock item assignment on single unit products disassembly will be blocked when disassembling multipack stock into single units if a single unit product has a component stock item incorrectly marked to be "used when product is assembled from existing stock" this will prevent multpack cases from dissassembling/splitting into singles ✅ how to fix remove this usage from the single unit by selecting actions > edit > component stock items on the product; for more details, see assigning stock items 2\ required stock items are out of stock for multipack/mixpack products , if a required stock item (e g , a box) is set to "used when product is assembled from existing stock" and the stock item is out of stock, you won’t be able to assemble the single unit product into the multipack product, as there are no boxes to complete the assembly ✅ how to fix receipt more stock for the required stock item once it's back in stock, assembly will be possible again
