The Edge allows you to assemble new items from existing inventory while retaining full details of the individual parts involved. It also allows you to disassemble items into their component parts while keeping a record of the original piece. Part records are automatically cross-referenced in the software so that if you look up an item that has been consumed as a part towards an assembled piece, that part item will have a link to the final piece and vice-versa.
Check your System Options to ensure these features are turned on.
