Kitting > Kit Items Requiring Prebuild > Disassemble Kit Items Requiring Prebuild

To disassemble a kit item requiring prebuild, perform the following procedures:

1.Access the Disassemble Kit Item function from the Kit Item group under the Transactions menu in the Inventory Control module.

2.Enter in the Warehouse field the warehouse code where the kit item is currently stored and component items will be restocked. Alternatively, you may click the Search button to search for the warehouse; click the warehouse code to select.

3.To specify the kit item that will be disassembled in this function, enter in the Kit Item # field the number of the kit inventory item requiring prebuild. Once a valid kit item # is entered, the kit item's description is displayed adjacent to this field.

4.If the kit item to be disassembled has specifications, enter in the Specification field the item specification.

5.Accept or amend the default restocking bin displayed in the Default Restock Bin field. The default comes from the kit item's maintenance record. To specify a different default restocking bin for all the component items of this kit item, enter in this field the desired bin from your selected warehouse. Alternatively, you may click the List box button to display a list of all receiving bins assigned in the selected warehouse; then, click the bin code to select.

Once you have entered a value in the Default Restock Bin field, AccountMate will automatically set the selected bin as the default bin in the Restock Bin column and display all the details of the component kit items in the grid below. The Restock Bin column will display the value "Multiple" if you specify in the Bins tab that the disassembled component item units will be restocked in more than one bin.

Note: AccountMate only allows restocking of component items in the same warehouse where the assembled kit items are stored. If you want to restock the component items to another warehouse, you must first disassemble the kit item using the Disassemble Kit Item function; then, perform warehouse transfer for the restocked component items using the Inventory Warehouse Transfer function.

6.To specify the posting date, enter in the Disassembly Date field the date when you want the system to record the disassembly.

7.To perform the restocking of the component inventory items, perform any of the following recommended alternatives:

Alternative 1

To specify the number of quantities for restock for each component item, enter in the Restock Qty column the desired restock quantity for each component item.

Alternative 2

To restock all component item quantities for the built kit item, click the Restock All button. AccountMate will automatically display in the Restock Qty column all the assembled quantities for each component item.

Note: You may change the value in the Restock Quantity column provided that you enter a positive value that is less than or equal to the highlighted quantity value in the Quantity column; otherwise, AccountMate disallows it.

Alternative 3

If the component item units are going to be restocked in more than one bin, double-click on the Restock Quantity field to display the Bins tab. Specify in this tab how many units of each component will be restocked in each bin.

8.If the disassembled component item is serialized or a lot-controlled inventory item, double click the applicable reference code under the Special… column to display the Special tab where you can select the applicable serial or lot-control number to restock.

9.When you are ready, click the Save button to save the disassembly of the kit inventory item; otherwise, click the Cancel button to disregard the information you have entered in this function without saving the entries.

Note: If the inventory item in this transaction is assigned with a "Standard" or "Specific ID" cost method, AccountMate will calculate the cost variance between the inventory item's standard cost and total cost after the transaction. The amount of cost variance will be posted to the GL Account ID specified in the Cost Variance field of the Revenue Code Maintenance record assigned to the selected inventory item's warehouse.

Q. When disassembling kit inventory items, there are some component items that I do not want to restock to any bin, how do I record the cost of these component items?

A. You do not need to adjust the costs of these non-restock component items since AccountMate automatically adjusts these non-restock component items to Inventory Adjustment GL Account ID in the GL Accounts tab of the IC Module Setup function based on the cost used when using these components in building the kit item.

Q. After entering the default restocking bin when disassembling a kit inventory item, I get a message telling me that the bin that I have entered does not exist or the bin is not a receiving bin. What did I miss?

A. Default restocking bins must be defined as a receiving bin of the warehouse that you specified in the Warehouse field of the Disassemble Kit Item function. Verify in the warehouse record whether you had marked the Receive checkbox for that particular bin.
