Kits and core products
You can set up and use a remanufactured core product as a prebuilt kit or a build-on-demand (BOD) kit product. This table shows the types of core products and whether they can be kit components or a kit parent product.
| Remanufactured core products | Implied core products | Dirty core products | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Can be a kit parent product | Yes | No | No |
| Can be a kit component | Yes | No | Yes |
If a remanufactured core product is a component of a prebuilt kit, the parent product must also be a remanufactured core kit.
When you specify a valid remanufactured core kit on an order, purchase order, warehouse transfer, or work order, the associated implied core product is automatically added to the document on the next line item.
Changing the quantity ordered for a remanufactured core product also changes the quantity ordered for the associated implied core product, based on the ratio specified on the remanufactured core product’s Product Setup record.
Build-on-demand core kit
You can enter a remanufactured core build-on-demand kit on a sales order. You can add or delete components that are not required in the Kit view for the line.
The components ordered by the customer are printed on a pick ticket, removed from inventory, assembled, packed, and shipped to the customer. The customer is billed and, when payment is received, the customer’s account is credited.
A remanufactured core build-on-demand kit can also be designated as a warehouse transfer BOD kit. With this designation, you can fabricate the kit in one warehouse and transfer it to the requesting warehouse to fulfill a sales order request.
When you use KP Work Order Center Entry to fill the fabricating warehouse transfer line, the originating requesting warehouse’s transfer line request for the sales order is filled.
Prebuilt
Core prebuilt kits are stocked in your warehouse. Even though they consist of more than one product, prebuilt kits are treated as an individual product. Prebuilt kits are replenished when inventory levels are low.
See Kit replenishment.
A work order is the bill of materials that lists the products or components that a kit consists of and specifies the quantity of kits to be assembled. If there is an insufficient quantity of any component and the work order quantity cannot be built, a back order is generated. The back order is printed when component quantity is available in the warehouse, and the remaining prebuilt kits can be assembled to complete the work order. Inventory and accounting records are updated with the completed kits in KP Work Order Center Entry. You can also create work orders for prebuilt kits in KP Work Order Center Entry and in Sales Order Entry when a specific work order is tied to a line item. Regardless of how the work order is created, the processing workflow is the same.
