Configure Kitting Process

The following steps describe the configuration that needs to be in place for the kitting process. These steps are common for Make To Stock and Make to Order.
  1. From the Replenishment Type UI, create a Replenishment Type for kitting.
  2. Create a Replenishment Zone for kitting.
  3. Tie the Replenishment Type with the Replenishment Zone.

  4. Parent and child items need to be pre-defined along with the pre-pack ratio.

  5. Parent items need to have a Replenishment Type defined in the item facility. On the Item UI, select the parent item that needs to be assembled and hit the facility button.

    In Item Facility view for the parent item, add a new record and select the Replenishment Type that was created in step 1.

  6. Create an assembly location where the parent items will be assembled. This location needs to be a dynamic active location with the assembly flag checked and with the Replenishment Zone the same as the one created in step 2.
    Note: Since this replenishment zone (KIT_ZONE) has been tied to the replenishment type (KIT) and the replenishment type is configured on parent item P1, this would mean that whenever parent item P1 needs to be built, the child items for P1 will always be replenished to assembly location AS111. Similarly, different parent items can be configured to be assembled in different assembly locations.
  7. Create a Work Order Type with the Activity Type “Assembly”. This Work Order Type needs to be on Work Orders that are used to assemble parent items.
    Note: Steps 1 through 7 are pre-requisites for both Make to Stock and Make to Order Flow.
