 mSupply provides for a mechanism to manufacture (build) a new item from two or more existing items.  A build is a way of recording items you have manufactured. That is, raw materials that are in your stock are used (taken out of stock), and a new stock item is created. mSupply provides for a mechanism to manufacture (build) a new item from two or more existing items.  A build is a way of recording items you have manufactured.

-A Bill of materials can be thought of as a "recipe" or "formula" for building an item. It records the ingredients, and the quantity of each required to make the finished product. You should create a bill of materials for an item before you come to this screen. This is done in an item's //Item details window//: see [[items:item_basics#the_bill_of_materials_tab|here]] for details. Screenshots in this section are using Simple Syrup as an example, and for this product a Bill of Materials has already been created.+A bill of materials can be thought of as a "recipe" or "formula" for building an item.
