Fields are presented in alphabetical order by section.

User Fields

General

Back Order

Select this field if this component can be back ordered due to the lack of quantity on hand. If this field is selected for the component, 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, and the back ordered components are shipped when they are available.

Component Product

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

Option Name

Specify a name for the option. We recommend using a name that clearly identifies the option.

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 it.

Print

Select this field to print the option on order acknowledgments and pick tickets that may be printed if this optional component is part of a build-on-demand kit. The component 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. Components are always listed on the work order.

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

Quantity Needed

Specify the standard component quantity needed. 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.

Reference

Specify relevant reference information for the component. 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 option 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 the record, the description replaces the reference number.

Units

The product's stocking unit from Product Setup displays automatically. Specify a unit of measure set up in Product Extended Unit Conversion Setup or SA Table Code Value Setup or leave 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 varies each time the option is used to build a kit. When building the kit, the standard quantity needed is displayed. You can change the quantity if necessary.

User Fields

Specify values in the user fields.
