The Kit Part Number is the part number assigned to the entire Kit. Component Part Numbers are those part numbers that make up the Kit.

The Kit Part Number and Component Part Numbers must first be created in “Inventory Entry” (5.1.1).

Exploding the Part refers to the ability to break the Kit into its components at “POS Order Entry” in POINT OF SALE (1.1). You have five options of exploding.

There is detailed Help for the Explode Parts Options. Enter a <?> at the “Explode Parts” option, and press <ENTER>.

Y = Explode the Part. If the Kit is set to explode the components will be listed separately on the Invoice. The Kit Number will not appear on the Invoice. The Part Number must be set to a “Non-Inventory” part in “Inventory Entry” (5.1.1) to be exploded. If a Kit is a component within this kit, then it will be evaluated by its own Explode Parts option setting. The Selling Price and Cost will come from the component parts rather than the Kit part number.

You must “Make A Kit” for those Kit Part Numbers that are listed as “Y” or “N” in Explode a Part Number.

C = Components in Comment. This will not explode the Kit but put the components in the comment line of the kit part number. This will print on the Invoice. To view the Comment, go to the line of the part number and enter a <C>. The Selling Price and Cost will come from the Kit Part Number.

N = Not Exploded. The part number is listed as the Kit Part Number. The components are not displayed. The Selling Price and Cost will come from the Kit Part Number.

You must “Make A Kit” for those Kit Part Numbers that are listed as “Y” or “N” in Explode a Part Number.

A = Automatic Make Kit. This option will automatically “Make Kits” (5.1.15.3) when the part number is sold and print kit components. The Selling Price and Cost will come from the Kit Part Number.

The following items are affected when the kit is set to “Automatic Make Kit”:

The Average Cost of the Kit will be calculated every time the Kit is sold. The Average Cost will be calculated before the Price and Cost is determined, in case the Price of the Kit is factored off of Cost.

The Kit Quantity on Hand (QOH) will only be affected momentarily when the kit is made and then sold immediately. The QOH of the components will be down-counted.

The Quantity Sales History (QSH) of the components will be up-counted. If the line item is deleted, then the QOH of the components will be up-counted, but the Average Cost of the Kit will remain as it and the QSH will be down-counted.

If the order is put on Hold, the components will have their Quantity on Hold (QHD) up-counted. If the Hold order is deleted or finalized, then the components will have their QHD down-counted.

If there is a Back Order created, then the components will have their Quantity Back Ordered (QBO) up-counted. If the Back Order is deleted or Voided, then the components will have their QOH up-counted, but the Average Cost of the Kit will remain as is, and the QSH will be down-counted.

When Posting the Invoice, the Kit will get record of Dollar and Quantity Sales History, like other Part Numbers.

If the components within the Kits are changed in the middle of any of these operations, then the Quantities, Cost and Price in question will be inaccurate.

AC = Automatic Make Kit and Components in Comment. This option combines the “A” and “C” options above.

The Price Code displayed is the default Price Code entered in “Kit Setup” (5.1.15.4). This may be changed for the individual Kit. The Price Code is used to calculate Gross Profit.

The Component Part Numbers are those part numbers that make up the kit. Enter the Quantity of each component part number.

The Date Entered and Who Created the kit will be displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen.
