Defining a Kit
To set up a new kit item, perform these steps:
- On the Items form or Multi-Site Items form, add and save a new item that will be the kit item. (You cannot select the Kit check box yet.)
- Add and save an item record for each component of the kit. Some components may already be defined as items.
- Use the Engineering Workbench form to define a current routing and bill of material for the kit item. If there are no labor or machine costs associated with the kit, you may define a "dummy" work center that has no costs.
- Use the Roll Current Cost to Standard Cost form to roll the current routing/BOM to Standard.
- On the Items form, select the Kit check box for the item designated as the kit item. If you want customer order paperwork to include a list of the kit components, also select the Print Kit Components on Customer Paperwork check box.
Note:
- Pricing is done at the kit level, not at the component level.
- Materials issued during the processing of a kit will be marked as backflushed. Although some processes can now backflush lot-tracked and serial-tracked items, Kit Builder still does not.
