}The Inventory Assembly Item object
An inventory assembly item is an item that is assembled or manufactured from inventory items. The items and/or assemblies that make up the assembly are called components.
The unique identifier assigned by QuickBooks to this inventory assembly item. This ID is unique across all inventory assembly items but not across different QuickBooks object types.
"80000001-1234567890"
The type of object. This value is always "qbd_inventory_assembly_item".
"qbd_inventory_assembly_item""qbd_inventory_assembly_item"
The date and time when this inventory assembly item was created, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm), which QuickBooks Desktop interprets in the local timezone of the end-user's computer.
"2025-01-01T12:34:56.000Z"
The date and time when this inventory assembly item was last updated, in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss±hh:mm), which QuickBooks Desktop interprets in the local timezone of the end-user's computer.
"2025-02-01T12:34:56.000Z"
The current QuickBooks-assigned revision number of this inventory assembly item object, which changes each time the object is modified. When updating this object, you must provide the most recent revisionNumber to ensure you're working with the latest data; otherwise, the update will return an error.
"1721172183"
The case-insensitive name of this inventory assembly item. Not guaranteed to be unique because it does not include the names of its hierarchical parent objects like fullName does. For example, two inventory assembly items could both have the name "Deluxe Kit", but they could have unique fullName values, such as "Assemblies:Deluxe Kit" and "Inventory:Deluxe Kit".
"Deluxe Kit"
The case-insensitive fully-qualified unique name of this inventory assembly item, formed by combining the names of its hierarchical parent objects with its own name, separated by colons. For example, if an inventory assembly item is under "Assemblies" and has the name "Deluxe Kit", its fullName would be "Assemblies:Deluxe Kit".
NOTE: Unlike name, fullName is guaranteed to be unique across all inventory assembly item objects. However, fullName can still be arbitrarily changed by the QuickBooks user when they modify the underlying name field.
"Assemblies:Deluxe Kit"
The inventory assembly item's barcode.
"012345678905"
Indicates whether this inventory assembly item is active. Inactive objects are typically hidden from views and reports in QuickBooks. Defaults to true.
true
The inventory assembly item's class. Classes can be used to categorize objects into meaningful segments, such as department, location, or type of work. In QuickBooks, class tracking is off by default.

}
The depth level of this inventory assembly item in the hierarchy. A top-level inventory assembly item has a sublevel of 0; each subsequent sublevel increases this number by 1. For example, an inventory assembly item with a fullName of "Assemblies:Deluxe Kit" would have a sublevel of 1.
1
The inventory assembly item's stock keeping unit (SKU), which is sometimes the manufacturer's part number.
"MPN-123456"
The unit-of-measure set associated with this inventory assembly item, which consists of a base unit and related units.
IMPORTANT: Right after QuickBooks Desktop launches, it can briefly report an alternate id for a unit-of-measure set, so match on fullName when joining to the unit-of-measure sets list.

The default sales-tax code for this inventory assembly item, determining whether it is taxable or non-taxable. This can be overridden at the transaction-line level.
Default codes include "Non" (non-taxable) and "Tax" (taxable), but custom codes can also be created in QuickBooks Desktop. If QuickBooks Desktop is not set up to charge sales tax (via the "Do You Charge Sales Tax?" preference), it assigns the default non-taxable sales-tax code configured in the company file to all sales.

The inventory assembly item's minimum quantity threshold that triggers a build notification in QuickBooks. When the sum of quantityOnHand (current inventory) and quantityOnOrder (pending purchase orders) drops below this threshold, QuickBooks will notify users that more units need to be built or assembled. This helps ensure adequate inventory levels for inventory assembly items.
10
The maximum quantity of this inventory assembly item desired in inventory.
200
The number of units of this inventory assembly item currently in inventory. quantityOnHand multiplied by averageCost equals totalValue for inventory item lists. To change the quantityOnHand for an inventory assembly item, you must use an inventory-adjustment instead of updating the inventory assembly item directly.
