   Product Kits allows you to take part numbers and quantities from stock and transfer them into one kit number for resale.

This would be useful for example if you wanted a clutch kit in stock but only had all the products as individuals on the shelf. You would create a kit number containing all the individual parts for the clutch kit, this would then take the quantities for the part numbers out of stock and put one in stock of your newly created kit number, so that when you sell the clutch kit you only sell one item number as apposed to three.

Through Goodsin first a supplier is created in supplier control with the �KitMFS� tick on.
Then the kit part is entered, along with the number of completed kits required. Upon updating the goodsin (F10) the kit components are depleted according to the kit list and the appropriate quantity of kits are built. There are no financial transactions involved.

Then go to the goods in screen and enter the new supplier code and invoice the kit number.
Once you have updated the goods in, this will update the kit qty in stock by the amount in the goods in, so that you can now sell just the kit number.

If you have the Auto Kit Update in Invoice ticked in the Utility Menu- Invoicing tab, this will reduce the qty of the individual parts and increase the qty of the kit at the time of invoicing so that all stock qty�s will read correctly.

Also in the Utility Menu if Suppress Kit Transactions is ticked this will not show all the movements of the kit manufacturing.

This is a more flexible way of selling a kit , you can allocate a kit to a certain customer, print out a job sheet, then process the invoice once all items have been picked. Once a job card is created it will not take the stock out of the in stock count it will allocate the stock to the customer order and change the available stock count.
