A **Composite Item** is the item type that covers both sub-types: Assembly and Kit items. When creating a new composite item, you choose the **Item Type**:

*   **Assembly Item** - a group of items combined together to be tracked and managed as a single item. Use this when you physically build or assemble a finished product from component parts.
*   **Kit Item** - individual items sold together as one kit. Use this when you bundle separate products for sale without any physical assembly. Each component’s stock is still tracked individually.

To create a composite item, go to **Items** > **\+ New** dropdown > **New Composite Item**, select the item type, fill in the details, and use **Add Product** under **Associate Items** to add the components.
