Problem statement

Hi,

Sometimes we have components which will always be ordered together with others, either because the manufacturer only sells them like this or maybe just because it is more convenient. For now the users only option is to have either the whole group as one part to make the purchase tracking more convenient or to have each component of the group as individual part which allows the individual tracking of the components but complicates the purchase / sales tracking.

Suggested solution

It would be nice to have Structural Parts in InvenTree which act a bit like assemblies in that you can assign other parts to it. In contrast to assemblies these parts however do not have own stock but instead modify the stock of their child parts if a stock action is done. So you could add this structural part to a purchase order and on receive the dialog opens for all its child to be sorted into their desired location.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Maybe it would be an idea to expand assemblies to serve this function but this would be not that clear of a distinction.

For starters it also could be an idea to strongly limit on where structural parts can be used to simplify the introduction into the existing structure.
