An assembled product is a label that Optiply and source systems use to indicate that a product is composed and will not be bought. It is a product composed of several parts and it is not purchased from a supplier, therefore it is ignored in most analyses.

You can recognise a composed product by the "Assembled" icon on the products page.

You can create an Assembled product when you for instance make a kit of products. This product will have a sku that we can call AB.
So imagine that this kit (sku AB) is composed of 2 products: Product A and Product B.
Each kit contains 2 units of Product A and 3 of Product B. It would look something like this:

For you to create this composed product it is necessary to import this through the API. For that, you can create a file and send it to our support team for import. Here is the page explaining how to create the file in detail.

A composed product reflects the sales history of its sales. The composed product parts reflect the sales history of the individual part sales and the composed product sales. Only composed product parts will receive purchase advice and appear in purchase orders.
