Creating Kits
You can create a finished good (Kit assembly) inventory stock item from a list of inventory components. When you build a Kit (sometimes referred to as a “Bill of Materials”), the quantities of the component stock items are decreased, and the quantities of the finished good are increased.
If you use lot numbers or serial numbers, you can only assign them to completed kits, not components of the kit.
Example: Creating a Book Bundle |
|---|
The manager of a book store wants to sell a book bundle that includes several books from one author. The first step is to create a stock item for the finished good; for example, Brontë Book Bundle. The second step is to create the Kit by adding components to the Bill of Materials. These would be all items necessary to make the kit; for example, books by Brontë, such as Jane Eyre, Shirley, and The Green Dwarf. The final step is to assemble the Kit from the components; this step adjusts the stock quantities to show the new quantities of your components and Kits stock items. |
Before you add components to your Kit, first create a stock item record for each of the items, including the finished good and all components, by following the steps in
Adding Stock Item Records. Then you can set up your Kits (see
Setting Up a Kit).
