>From the SQL-Ledger bug report: Assembly-Subassembly editing broken You have an assembly, its partslist contains other parts and other assemblies. If you click on the button in the partslist and edit a part , save it you are redirected to the original assembly and everything is fine. If you do the same thing with an assembly, contained in the partslist things get screwed up. You press save , the (sub)-assembly is saved but you are not redirected to the original assembly. If you press save another time the actual assembly becomes a member of its own partslist. Another save, 2 times in his own partslist. This is very bad....
I've noticed some very odd behavior with Assemblies. Basically once created it's created. Making any sort of changes really messes things up.
Here's an exampleI create an assembly, but forget to put in one part. When editing the assembly, I am unable to add the part then reorder the parts so they appear correctly in the BOM. The parts move, but the cost does not. At the point when this is happening, no assemblies were ever sold or stocked.
What I've always had to do is either delete the unused assembly or leave it there, but create a new assembly from scratch (not doing a "save as new") or anything like that.
Even if you don't add any parts, but just want to re-order the parts on the BOM, the prices get all fubar.
My take on this is it's a problem, it needs to be noted and corrected at some point, but the other issues are far more important.
