AccountMate 7 for SQL or Express Ease in Creating Kit Items
Kit items are inventory items created by packaging units of other inventory items together for sale
to the customer and assembly by the customer. For example, instead of preassembling a complete
bicycle for sale, the manufacturer might inventory individual components consisting of the frame,
wheels, handlebars, seat and pedals.
Standard Kit Items
A Kit Formula is used to define the standard composition of a kit item unit. Standard kit items can
be pre-built according to the standard formula and stocked in inventory, or they can be built as
needed according to the same formula. The system has also been designed so that a non-stock
item can be designated as a kit item component.
Kit Formula Maintenance
Customize Kit Formula
Modify the standard composition defined in the kit formula for a particular sales order line item for
greater flexibility in processing customer transactions. The customized formula applies only to the
particular sales order and does not affect the standard kit formula record. You can customize a
standard kit formula as often as necessary.
View Total Estimated Kit Item Costs
You can view the total estimated item cost for standard, customized, prebuild or on-the-fly kit items.
Use this information to set customer pricing limits and to project gross profit from kit item sales.
Quickly Build Kit Items
AccountMate provides the ability to simultaneously build and ship kit items within one function. You can
select to ship kit items independently. This enables faster order processing and allows greater flexibility to
use the kit components for other purposes. For example when the components are also available for sale
as individual items. This eliminates the need to stock quantities of kit item units so allows for more effective
inventory management.
Disassemble Kit Items
A kit item unit can be disassembled when it is overstocked or when
its parts are needed for separate sale or use in assembling other kit
item units. The disassembly and restocking of kit component parts
allows for more efficient management of available inventory.
Track Kit Transactions Using Kit Numbers
Choose whether to assign kit numbers to prebuilt kit item units. Kit
numbers can be used to track sale of kit items to customers, transfer
of kit item units across bins or warehouses and issuance of kit items
for internal consumption.
Assign Serial Numbers to Kit Items
Kit item units can also be serialized. The assignment of a serial
number to each kit item unit permits the tracking of a specific cost
for each unit.
Lot Control Tracking of Kit Items
When the Lot Control module is activated, lot control numbers can
be assigned to groups of kit item units. This is especially useful when
dealing with kit items predominantly composed of parts that may
expire over time or are subject to recalls.
