Assembling Products

I have a small business where I assemble computers to sell. When I buy parts
I addd them to my inventory, no problem. However when I create an invoice I
want to just to list the computer and it's final price and not list every
component and their prices. Is there a way to create an inventory item (the
computer itself) using parts from the inventory?

What you need is a Bill of Materials capability. I don't think that MSMoney
H&B offers this. A Google search will reveal many, many Materials Resource
Planning (MRP) packages that will do this. They will also allow you to set
up a Routing to capture the steps and labor cost for assembling each type of
item. However, setting this all up and maintaining it is only cost
effective if you make quite a few of the same assembly.
