>>Hi,

>>although this is a VFP application, the problem is not really VFP related. Currently I have items that can be sold and multiple of those items can be added to an invoice (invoice line items). I want to allow the user to combine multiple of those items into one item that can then be sold with its own unique price (which is not necessarily a sum of all the prices of the individual components). What terminology is used to describe this? I'm thinking Bill Of Materials, but that doesn't "feel" quite right.

>>ItemsSub
>>ItemsSubId
>>ItemId
>>ItemQty

Yes, the user is the seller. The industry is the Optical Laboratory where spectacle lenses can be combined with different coatings and services.
