Kit Components

This table describes inventory items that typically comprise a kit:

Inventory Item

Description

Parent item

The assembled item. Generally, the system does not carry inventory for a parent item. You must set up a parent item in the Item Master and designate it with a stocking type of K for kit. The Item Master determines how the system calculates the price.

Components

The actual inventory items that are contained in the kit. You set up components in the Item Master as regular stock items.

Features and options

Additional items for the kit. Feature items have a stocking type of F (feature). The system recognizes feature items as second-level parent items because the system does not carry inventory for the feature items. You set up the actual inventory items in the bill of material.
