Setting up a core kit

You must provide the minimum information in Product Setup and Product Warehouse Product Setup to create a product record for each prebuilt kit product and component that you stock in your warehouse. You must set up the records for the implied core charge and dirty core products before you can set up a record for a remanufactured core product.

You must also associate the components with the kit in KP Component Setup, so that quantities of the components can be checked when you enter the kit on a work order, sales order, warehouse transfer, or any other document.

Select Product > Setup > Product and create a core kit product record.
1. Access the Cores & Configurator view.
2. Select a Product Type.
  There are three types of core product records that identify the phase of the core product's life cycle or return deposit: remanufactured or new, implied core charge, and dirty or worn core product. You must set up the records for the implied core charge and dirty core product before you set up a record for a remanufactured core product. If you are setting up a record for a remanufactured core product, specify the names for the implied core charge and dirty core products or ensure the product names that default according to SA Admin Options-Products-Cores options are valid.
3. Specify grace periods for the vendor and customer.
4. Complete and save the record.
Select Products > Setup > Warehouse Product and create a record for the remanufactured core product you created in step 1.
1. In the Authorized Replenishment Path (ARP) section on the General view, select the way the product is to be replenished. If this product is a prebuilt kit that is replenished in your kit work center, select Kit in the Type field. If this product is a build-on-demand kit, select Vendor, and specify the vendor and product line that you use to replenish the product.
  If the vendor that supplies the core product charges you a fee or return deposit, you must select the Vendor Core Chg option in Product Lines Setup. This setting ensures that the correct prices and costs are used for the product.
2. Complete and save the record.
To specify components for a core kit, select Kit Production > Setup > Components.
1. Click Create.
2. Specify the remanufactured core kit product number in the Kit Product field. This is the same product you created a record for in steps 1 and 2.
3. Select a value in the Type field and then complete the remaining fields. Select the appropriate options and save the record.
Repeat steps 1-3 until all components, groups, keywords, options, and instructions are entered for this kit.
