Adding a component
To create a Component:
- Click the Components tab in the top menu bar
- Click the Add Component button on the right-hand side of the page that appears
- Complete the details for the component on the form that appears, then click the Save Component button.
A component material will also be created automatically – this is the material that will be increased in stock whenever you make this component.
