2.Enter in the Warehouse field the warehouse where the component items will be obtained and where the assembled kit items will be stored.

Note: The warehouse that you enter in the Warehouse field must carry the kit inventory item that you specified in the Kit Item # field; otherwise, AccountMate Enterprise will not allow you to proceed with the transaction..

3.In the Kit Item # field, enter the kit inventory item you want to assemble. After entering a valid kit inventory item in this field, the corresponding kit item description will be displayed in the adjacent field.

Note: The kit inventory item number you enter in the Kit Item # field must meet the following requirements:

•When the kit item is created, the Require Prebuild checkbox is marked in the Settings page of the Inventory Maintenance function.

•A kit formula is set up using the Kit Formula Maintenance function.

5.Enter in the Specification field the item specification you want to build for the kit item. This field is only accessible if item specifications are assigned the kit item you want to assemble.

Notes:

•Once a kit is built, the system automatically generates an entry reducing the quantities on-hand and costs of each component item used to build the kit inventory item. The kit inventory item’s quantity and cost, on the other hand, increases by the number of units built and the costs transferred from the component items.

•In cases where a user entered an incorrect build quantity and the build kit item transaction has already been saved, the user can still disassemble the built kit item using the Disassemble Kit Item function in the Maintenance menu.

•Kit numbers are automatically assigned to the units that you have just recorded as built.

Q. Can I ship a Kit Item without building it through the Build Kit Items Maintenance function window?

A. You can create a Sales Order for the unassembled kit inventory items; however, the system will not allow you to ship the inventory items until you have built them using the Build Kit Items Maintenance function. Also, you can not complete creating a sales invoice if you attempt to include such items in the invoice.

Q. Can I build kit inventory items even when one of the components has a zero or negative on-hand quantity?

A. In general, you can. Although the system will display a message box informing you that a component item is insufficient, it will still save the transaction. An exception to this would be when the component item that has insufficient quantity is a serialized inventory item.
