Managing kit items
You define kit items and their components in Item Master (IC11.1) or Item Master and Location (IC10.2). Components are set up in multiple kits or as a kit in itself. For example, a lighting company might set up a lamp as a kit item consisting of three components: light bulb, lamp shade, and base. The company might also set up the lamp base as a kit.
Two kinds of kit items are available:
- make-to-order kits and
- finished goods (formerly called make-to-stock kits).
A make-to-order kit is assembled with kit components after it is ordered or requisitioned. Component items are stocked separately.
A finished good is produced and is meant to be stored as a kit item. Finished goods are used in the Production Order and Order Entry applications.
Make codes determine the kind of kit that is created. You can change a make-to-order kit to a finished good by changing its make code. You cannot change make-to-order kits to finished goods when the kit item has instructions or options.
