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.
