Kit Assembly

Form ID: (IN307000)

Note: This form is available only if the Kit Assembly feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

On this form, you can create and view kit assembly documents. You can select the operation performed on stock kits (production or disassembly), the warehouse where the operation is performed, the revision of the kit specification, and a variety of other factors. The kit assembly document includes the required stock components with their quantities and costs calculated in accordance with the kit specification revision you specify.

If the specification allows component quantity variance, you can change the quantity of the component in the specified range. If the revision allows addition of components, you can add components to record all stock items included and relevant costs incurred in the process of kit production or disassembly. Also, for kits that as stock items require assigning lot or serial numbers, you can provide this information by using the Line Details tab.

This form shows different sets of elements and table columns depending on which of the following features are enabled in your system: Lot and Serial Tracking, Multiple Warehouses, and Multiple Warehouse Locations.

For more information about processing kits, see Inventory Item Kits. For additional details about inventory transactions, see Inventory Transactions.

The form-specific commands can be shown as buttons on the form toolbar, as commands on the More menu, or in both places. These commands are listed in the following table in alphabetical order.

Command Description
Hold Changes the status of the kit assembly document to On Hold. You click this button when you want to make changes to the kit assembly document or to pause its processing.
Release Releases the kit assembly document, updates the availability data for items that are kits or kit components, and generates a batch of transactions to update the General Ledger.
Remove Hold Changes the status of the kit assembly document from On Hold to Open. You click this button when the kit assembly document is ready for further processing.
Review Batch Navigates to the Journal Transactions (GL301000) form so you can view the details of the batch.

Summary Area

In this area, you select an existing document that records kit production or disassembly, or you provide summary information for a new document.
