KP Group Setup field descriptions

Fields are presented in alphabetical order by section.

General

User Fields

General

Back Order

Select this field if this group can be back ordered due to the lack of quantity on hand. If this field is selected for the group, you can modify the shipped quantity for components without changing the shipped quantity for the parent kit. The standard kit availability calculation is overridden, and a partial back order is created for this component. The components that are not back ordered are shipped. The back ordered components are shipped when they are available.

Component Product

Specify the product to include in the group. The product must be set up in Product Setup.

Group Name

Specify a name for the group. We recommend using a name that descriptively identifies the group of products.

National Program

Select this option if this component of the kit qualifies for a National Program.

Price

Select this field to include the component price in the price of the kit. This should also be referred to during Sales Order Entry when you are rolling up the price of a kit when you sell the kit.

Print

Select this field to print the kit group on documents, such as order acknowledgments, pick tickets, bid worksheets, invoices, and bid preparation proposals. These documents may be printed if this group is part of a build-on-demand kit. The group is listed on invoices if the List on Invoice option is selected in Product Setup. Pre-built kit components are not listed on invoices, order acknowledgments, bid proposals or pick tickets. Kit groups are always listed on the work order.

Clear this field if you do not want to list the group on documents. Note that the group and reference information for build-on-demand kits always prints on pick tickets, regardless of this setting.

Quantity Needed

Specify the standard group quantity needed to build the kit. You must specify a positive number.

If this is a variable quantity, specify a standard quantity needed and select the Variable field. Items with a variable quantity are those that may change each time the kit is sold. For example, a group may include a water hose where the length of the hose may vary from one group to another. Although the same hose is always used, the required length may change.

Reference

Specify relevant reference information for the group. References may be assembly directions, cautions, explanations, or other information to help the customer or picker assemble the kit.

Reference records allow you to insert reference text by adding text to the group at any point in the assembly list. If specific references have been set up in SA Table Code Value Setup, a period (.) or pound sign (#) must precede the number specified in the first three positions of the Reference field. After you save this record, the description replaces the reference number.

Required

Select this field if this product is required to build the group. A required component cannot be deleted from the group during entry.

Substitute

Select this field to allow substitute products for the original component.

Units

The product's stocking unit from Product Setup is displayed automatically. Specify a unit of measure set up in Product Extended Unit Conversion Setup or SA Table Code Value Setup, or retain the product's stocking unit of the measure. If you specify an invalid unit, this error message is displayed: Units Not Set Up in Unit Table - ICSEU or SASTT (4026)

Variable

Select this field if the component quantity needed to build a group varies each time the group is used to build a kit. When the kit is built, the standard quantity needed is displayed. You can change the quantity, if necessary.

User Fields

Specify appropriate values in the user fields.
