Kitting and fabrication

In TWL, predefined components are combined into prebuilt kits in a kit build department. All materials moved into the kit build department are given a work-in-process stock adjustment code, which is defined in the parameters. After the kit is completed, the finished item is allocated to orders or put into inventory. Build-on-demand kits are assembled as the components are picked.

Value Add (VA) items are processed like prebuilt kits, but include different phases of fabrication that result in a finished good. VA items often include custom design, engineering, internal and external fabrication, and services that result in an item that is specific to a customer.

Note: If you use Infor Service Management to process assembly SROs, the products that are identified as SRO Assembly products on assembly orders in Distribution SX.e are not processed as kits or VA items. SRO Assembly product processing occurs in Service Management.
