Setting up a fabricated kit

Fabricated kits are a hybrid of a prebuilt and build-on-demand kit that can be transferred between warehouses. Fabricated kits can also be drop-shipped directly to the customer. When you set up a fabricated kit, you must complete two different setups. In the fabrication warehouse, you must set up both the fabricated kit and each of the kit components. You can use nonstock components. In the sales order warehouse, you must set up the fabricated kit product only. The kit product name must be the same on all records. The work flow for a fabricated kits starts when a fabricated kit is entered on a sales order. Entering a fabricated kit on a sales order automatically creates a warehouse transfer and work order for the kit in the fabricating warehouse.
