Defining a Kit

To set up a new kit item, perform these steps:

  1. 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.)
  2. Add and save an item record for each component of the kit. Some components may already be defined as items.
  3. 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.
  4. Use the Roll Current Cost to Standard Cost form to roll the current routing/BOM to Standard.
  5. 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.
