Micronet has two forms of kitted items:

Manufactured

In order to use manufactured kits, your company configuration must be setup for the Micronet Kitting System (MKS). Manufactured kits are denoted by being assigned to a product category that is manufactured. Kits have a selling price and adding/removing components at invoice time does not change the selling price. When a kit is sold, the kit’s MTD and YTD figures are affected, e.g. you are selling the kit and not the components. Kitted items are assembled using works orders either manually or automatically and then, when sold, the whole kit is diminished as a complete.

Reference

For more details on how to utilise works orders for assembling manufactured kits, refer to "KITTING Menu: Micronet Kitting System".

Sub-assembled

Sub-assemblies are denoted by being assigned to a product category that is sub-assembled. Sub-assemblies have a selling price which is the result of the components going in to make it up. The selling price can be affected if the sub-assembly is setup as being dynamic. When a sub-assembly is sold, only the component’s MTD and YTD figures are affected, e.g. you are selling the components under a name. The selling price of the sub-assembly is distributed on a pro-rata basis across all of the item components based on their unit selling prices.

To add or edit the components that go into making up a manufactured or sub-assembled item:

Add a new item or open an existing one.

Refer to "Adding a New Item" or "Updating an Item".

Select the Kit tab.

Micronet displays the Item Update screen - Kit tab.

Technical Tip

The fields and buttons on this tab are only enabled if the item has been assigned to a Subassembled or Manufactured product category on the Item Update screen - Item tab. For more information, refer to "File - Inventory - Item".

Complete the following fields:

	Field	Value
	Sub Assembly Type	This field is disabled for manufactured items. For sub-assembled items, valid choices are: Static Component List – the components cannot be altered on an invoice Dynamic Component List – the components can be altered on an invoice without altering the "master kit recipe", and the resulting prices are also affected.
	SubAssembly Print	This field is disabled for manufactured items. For sub-assembled items, this field is for the control of component printing on report formats. This is not automatically enabled in report formats, so must be manually added. Select an option for report printing: No Print – only the kit master item (and pricing) will show on the invoice/picking slip Component Print – only the kit component items (and pricing) will show on the invoice/picking slip Full Print – both the kit master item and the kit component items (and pricing) will show on the invoice/picking slip.
