Kitting items are collections of items that are priced and sold through Order Entry as a single item. They are often collected together at sale time—such as a particular computer, keyboard, and monitor combination, or a back-to-school binder, pencil case, and felt pen set.
The cost of a kit is based on each individual item in the kit. If the price is based on costs, it is determined by the cost of all the items together.
Important! You use the I/C Items screen to create the master kitting item and create each component item. Then, you assemble the kit contents using the I/C Kitting Items screen.
When setting up kitting items, note that:
- Kitting items must use an account set code that has a user-specified costing method.
- Kitting items must have the Kitting Item option selected.
- Kitting items cannot be stock items.
- Kitting items can include non-stock components, such as shipping or installation fees.
- Kitting items cannot use serial numbers.
Serialized Inventory and Lot Tracking
If you use Lot Tracking, you can track kits by using lot numbers or serialized inventory numbers for kitting item components. However, the actual kitting master item cannot have a serial number.
See the Order Entry help for instructions about assigning lot numbers to the tracked components.
