RE: SYS21 - Kit Processing

Kit lists are explained in Infobase, under Inventory Maintenance, and under
Advanced Order Entry. Basically they're used where you hold stock as simple
SKU's which may be sold in heir own right, or sometimes as a set. A
(over?)simple example might be that you hold a nut, a bolt and a washer as
separate SKU's but you may receive an order for the kit when you pick one
of each. The kit may have different quantities of each component, component
quantities are multiplied up by the number of parents required.

The price for the kit is set for the kit, although components may have
their own prices when sold separately.

Kit composition may be varied as an order is taken, eg standard kit
consists of 1x nut, 1x bolt and 1x washer, but this customer wants 2x
washer, 1x nut and 1x bolt, or whatever. Additional components may be
added. Various options are available for availability and allocation when
only some components are available. From memory I think Pick Lists show
individual components, Despatch Notes and Invoices the kit parent.

In this way this function can be used as a simple configurator, but the
cost of order line is the sum of components, so you cannot add value (eg
assembly labour time) when assembling.

Hope this helps

Subject:        SYS21 -  Kit Processing

At one time I remember some talk about "Kit" processing within System21
Order Entry/Inventory.  Can anyone out there tell me if they are using this
feature, know more about it, or if it's even there?  Is there any
documentation on it?  I would appreciate the feedback.
