Blanket Orders for Kits

You can create blanket orders for kit items, just as you do for a standard stocked item. The system requires that you select the kit components during order entry.

Use the Kit Selection form to select the kit components during order entry. The system uses the components that you select as a template for releasing sales orders in the future. When you release a quantity from a blanket order, the system constructs the kit based on the selections from the original blanket order. The system disables the kit component lines on the blanket orders to prevent the lines from being selected and released independently from the parent.

The system also enables you to select different components after you release the blanket order by selecting the Kit Selection option on the Row menu. The system explodes and displays the current bill of material in the Kit Selection form. The system does not update the blanket order with changes that you make to components in the sales order after blanket release.
