Composite Items need to be able to total all parts to the sell price as you add them

The composite item functionality must total all parts and add it to the price (rate) of the item when you build an item, or it is really limited on its usefulness. The fact that you can build a kit is great, but not having that kit subtotal itself really hurts its usability. I am playing with producing a spreadsheet that will total the items outside of Z-inventory, but this should happen by itself while you are building a quote. You cant even see the sale price of the individual items on the composite item screen as you are building them which is bizarre. You have a form filled with parts no pricing at all anywhere visible on the page. Then you have to give it a price which is not useful. What that really means is you have to build the items with another tool then manually come  into Zoho and build them again adding the configured price from an external tool. Please do a little math for me and subtotal my items as I add them to the composite item. Then I can come back later clone the same part and make minor changes to create a new part do quick quoting and so on. 

At least as a first step add the individual items price to the list you can see on the UI when you are creating the composite part so that you can subtotal them yourself with a calculator.
