Kits

A kit is an inventory item that contains components. Each component is defined as a separate inventory item and stocked separately. For example, an insurance company might define a new employee kit consisting of these components: 5 pens, 5 pencils, 2 lined tablets, 2 small note pads, tape, tape dispenser, box of paper clips, and stapler.

The kit definitions are used in Production Management. When a kit is requested on a requisition, the demand is sent to Inventory Control and then onto Production Management if replenishment is necessary.

Kits set up for an item group are valid for all companies and locations that use the item group. You can also set up kits for a company and location. If you set up kits by company and location, the component items must be tracked in inventory at that location.
