Q: In Quickbooks POS, I can't get my sales reports to show group items as they were sold. Instead, it shows me all of the separate units. Any idea as to why this is happening?

A: Group items are not really an item, but a grouping of other items. It is a way to put items on sales receipts in a group. For this reason, it will not list group items.  If you want to track those sales and report on these, you would need to create an assembly. Once you build the assembly, it will remove the items and create an assembled item that can be tracked. It pulls the items from inventory and tracks them as an item.
