Setting up a BOD kit with back-ordered components

You can sell a build-on-demand (BOD) kit with the components you have on hand and back order the components that are not available. To do so, you must set up the component to allow it to be back-ordered in KP Components Setup.

  1. Verify that all of the kit component products are set up in Product Setup and in Product Warehouse Product Setup for the warehouse from which the kit is sold.
  2. In Product Setup, create or maintain a BOD kit product record. Ensure that these values are specified in the Kit section:
    1. In the Kit Type field, select Build On Demand.
    2. In the OE Kit Rollup field, select Blank.
    3. In the Allow Transfer filed, select Do Not Allow WT BOD.
  3. To add components to the kit, select Kit Production > Setup > Components.
  4. Click New.
  5. In the Kit Product field, specify the kit product number.
  6. In the Component Type field, select Component. Only components for build on demand kits can be back-ordered. Options, groups, keywords, and reference types cannot be back-ordered.
  7. Specify the component. To allow it to be back-ordered, select the Back Order option.
  8. Complete the component information and click Save to add the component to the kit.
  9. Repeat steps 6-8 until you have added all of the kit components.
  10. To use the split-billing option to control the amount billed when a partial kit back order is created, select Product > Setup > Warehouse Descriptions.
  11. Select the warehouse in which you want to allow split billing.
  12. In the Extended view, click Edit.
  13. In the Kits section, select the Split Bill option.
  14. Click Save.
