Kit Components |
The Kit Components tab enables you to display and define part numbers for the components included in specific parts kits. This tab is unavailable in Update mode if the Kit type field on the Basic Info tab specifies ASSEMBLED and the stock on hand at any location is greater than zero.
Note: To define kit components, the Kit type field on the Basic Info tab must specify either ASSEMBLED or UNASSEMBLED. Serialized parts may not be included in kits or as components in kits.
Tip: You can use the filter to restrict the information that displays to a specific part ID, part suffix, inventory month, keyword, stock status, product category, or part classification, among others. The list of searchable fields on the filter is extensive; use the scroll bar to view them all. If you specify a cross-reference part ID that cannot be found, the applicable part ID displays.
The fields in the top section of this tab define the data that displays.
Part ID
Identifier of the part currently selected in the grid or that you are defining.
Note: If there is a check in the Enable automatic part numbering field on the Data -> Parts Items -> Setup -> Product Categories screen, the part ID is assigned automatically. Its characteristics, if any, are based on information entered in other fields on that screen.
The part ID may only consist of valid bar code characters. This field has a zoom button to the Data -> Parts Items -> Cross-references screen, which defines cross-references of part IDs. It also has a list box. The part description displays to the right of the ID. This field is required.
The combination of this part ID and the part suffix must be unique for each part.
To delete a part and all its data from inventory, refer to how to delete a part from inventory.
To delete a part from a specific location, use the Basic Info tab on the Parts Items -> Location Information screen.
Note: You cannot delete a record that has part quantities to be reconciled.
Part suffix
Number associated with the part in the Part ID field, which distinguishes it from other parts with the same part ID.
This applies only if the part ID is a valid part ID.
New part/location/inventory
If you are entering a new part, you can click the New part/location/inventory button to launch the Add New Part wizard. The wizard will walk you through specifying the required data for the Part Primary, Part Location, and Inventory Adjustment screens.
Note: The wizard must be activated before it will launch. Refer to Add New Part Wizard for more information.
Data in the fields in the bottom section of this tab, presented in a screen group, define the parts that make up a kit. Unless otherwise indicated, these fields are required.
Delete
If this field has a check, the part is deleted from the list of parts that comprise the kit identified by the part ID and part suffix when you click Save. If the Kit type field on the Basic Info tab indicates ASSEMBLED, you may delete the part only if there are no assembled kits in stock.
Part ID
Inventory part number of a part that is a component of the kit identified by the part ID. This field has a list box.
Part suffix
Part suffix associated with the part in the Part ID field.
Quantity
Quantity of the part ID/suffix that is included in the kit identified by the part ID in the upper section of the tab.
Part description
A description of the part that is a component of the kit. This field is display only.
