Kit items
are divided into two different types including Stock and Non-stock.
The type of item determines the level of flexibility during
sale. Stock items are set up before the first sale and the
configuration is permanent. Once a kit is sold, it is no longer
possible to change the kit configuration. Non-stock items
are set up in advance but they are built during the sale.
Since they are built during the sale, and they can be changed,
they cannot be returned without manually adjusting the components.
Setup
The quantity for each item is entered as a part of inventory
maintenance. There is considerable flexibility in how the
kits are set up. Items in the kit can be set up as optional
or mandatory. Optional items can be included or not during
the sale, as needed. Kit items can be priced manually, or
they can be set up to compute the price based on the sum of
the components.
Non-Stock
Kits
Non-stock kits can be further defined during the sale. When
entering a sales order, and a kit item is selected for sale,
a window will pop up to choose the complete kit configuration.
Non-stock kit configurations can vary from one order to another.
When a kit order is entered, it will allocate one kit to sales
in the inventory file. Selected components will also be allocated.
When the kit is shipped or invoiced, it will have no effect
on the inventory quantity of the kit item, but the quantities
for all the components will be updated.
Editing
Not-Stock Sales
Once an order is entered it is possible to go back and change
the configuration, as long as the kit has not been even partially
shipped. Once the item has been partially shipped the configuration
can no longer be altered. As with all invoice items, the kits
cannot be changed once the invoice is complete.
Stock
Items
Unlike non-stock items, the configuration of stock items cannot
be changed once sold. Once an order is entered it is possible
to go back and change the configuration, as long as the kit
has not been shipped or built. Stock items are assembled through
the file maintenance menu.
