Kit specifications (IN209500)
You can use this window to view already-defined kit specifications, create new kit specifications, and create new revisions of kit specifications. To define the cost of assembling the kits, you can add non-stock components of the labour type.
You can create a kit specification only for a stock item marked as a kit on the General settings tab of theStock items (IN202500) or Non-stock items (IN202000) window. Any modification of a kit specification is saved as a revision, and revisions are stored in case a kit requires disassembly.
The top part
By using this area, you can create a new revision of a kit specification; you can also select any kit specification by its ID and view its revisions or add a new revision. You cannot modify an existing revision; you only can create a new one.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Kit item ID | The item ID of the kit, as assigned to the kit in the Stock items (IN202500) or Non-stock items (IN202000) window. |
| Non-stock | Read only. This check box indicates (if selected) that this is a non-stock kit. |
| Revision | The unique identifier of the kit specification revision. |
| Description | A brief description of the kit specification. > [!NOTE] > This field supports the multi-language functionality, where you can translate the entered text to multiple languages. For more information, see: About multi-language support |
| Active | If you select this check box, this kit specification is active. |
| Allow component addition | If you select this check box, it is permitted to add unlisted components to this kit on its assembly or shipping. |
| Total cost | The total cost of all components combined. |
The Stock components tab
On this tab, you can view all the components required to assemble the specified number of kits, or all the components that will become available after disassembly of the specified number of kits.
Components are listed in accordance with the selected revision of the kit specification, as defined on the Stock components tab of the Kit specifications window.
If the Allow component addition check box is selected for the revision, you can add components. Also, you can provide such information for components for which lot or serial numbers are traced..
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Component ID | The ID of the kit component. Note For non-stock kits, only stock components may be added. |
| Description | A description of the kit component. |
| UoM | The unit of measure (UoM) used for the item added as the component to the kit. |
| Component qty. | The quantity of the item added as a component to the kit. |
| Allow component qty. variance | A check box that indicates (if selected) that the component quantity of items may be increased or decreased. |
| Min. component qty. | The minimum quantity of the component that can be added to the kit. |
| Max. component qty. | The maximum quantity of the component that can be added to the kit. |
| Disassembly coeff. | The coefficient indicating, for kit disassembly, to what extent the component can be returned to the inventory. This coefficient is a decimal value between 0 and 1. If the kit can be totally disassembled back to its components, the coefficient for every component is 1. If this component is included in a part of the kit that can not be disassembled completely, the value is less than 1. |
| Allow component substitution | A check box that indicates (if selected) that a substitution can be made for this component in the kit. |
| Unit cost | The cost of a single piece. |
| Cost | The sum of unit cost multiplied by quantity. |
The Non-stock components tab
On this tab, you can view a table showing the non-stock items included as components in the kit specification. Generally, non-stock items added as components represent the overhead costs of kit assembly, such as labour and other manufacturing costs.
