Inventory > Building items > Auto-building items
For items that you build often, you can use the Auto‑Build function to automatically build the finished items.
Before you can build a finished item using the Auto-Build function, you need to define what items are needed to build the item.
You can also auto-build items using the To Do List. (In the Stock Alert view of the To Do List, select the items you want to build and click Order/Build.)
