Creating ties for prebuilt kit components

You can source a single component or multiple components for prebuilt kits in KP Work Order Center Entry.

You can tie a component to a purchase order or warehouse transfer. If a component of the prebuilt kit is another prebuilt kit, you can tie it to another work order. Ties are created only if the quantity order is less than the quantity reserved. To create a tie for a component that has the full quantity reserved, create the work order without sourcing the component. After the work order is created, change the reserved amount for the component to less than the quantity needed. Then, create the tie in the Sourcing section. The tie is created for the quantity ordered less the quantity reserved.

Use these instructions to create ties for single or multiple components during work order creation. You can also update a work order, including work orders for fabricated kits, to include kit component sourcing.

  1. Follow steps 1-6 of the online help instructions to manually create a work order.
  2. Click Components.

    To source a single component:
