Manufacturing New Items

Written by Jarad on March 20, 2023

All manufactured items should be acquired through the manufacturing process. FastBound tracks which items are manufactured, which will allow you to create your reports required by the ATF and IRS.

If you are manufacturing a new item from scratch, you would begin here.
If you are manufacturing from an existing item you would begin from the Existing Items menu.

To manufacture a new item you must have the required fields below.

Acquire Date is required and cannot be a future date.
— This is the date the item was manufactured

Acquire Type is required and should be specific to manufacturing.
— Manufacturing Acquire Types are separate from regular Acquire Types.
