Item Groups Kits

Posted on by dposey

Hello,

Currently in Quickbooks we use Item Type: Groups to build out our kits.

When selected on a sales order it acts more like shortcut and then places the individual items which comprise the kit onto the sales order.

It is my understanding that Business Central uses Assemblies for kitting, but the issue is that it only lists the Assembly item on the invoice. Some of our kits contain upwards of 50 items and have serial numbers attached, which my company would like displayed on the sales invoice. Entering the items individually on every sales invoice manually is also not acceptable as it would exponentially increase the workload of our sales and purchasing team.

Is there anything similar to Groups in Business Central or a workaround to show the contents of an assembly itemized on the invoice?

Thanks,

Dustin

Hi

As far as I am aware, there is no kit functionality. The other advantage of kits (big in Dynamics GP) is that you don't hold stock of the kit. The stock is held in individual items. Assemblies create a new inventory item, so don't have the same benefits of kits. I don't know about exploding the assembly on the sales invoice. Someone else might be able to help with that.

There is an idea posted for including. You may want to vote on it: experience.dynamics.com/.../

Cheers

Heather

Kitting is possible. In your case I would have the assembly BOM made up and add it to a sales order. I’d then use a line page action called explode BOM. This adds all the BOM lines as sales lines and no BOM exists anymore. You can then add the serial numbers directly via the order or from the warehouse process you follow. I’m not 100% sure if serial numbers appear on an invoice. Which is a separate issue. I recall having to develop that part but it may have been for the sales shipment instead.

Dustin,

Kitting or what BC calls Assembly, is very doable. You can create Sales Orders that create Assembly Order to Stock or Order-by-Order. You can explode the Assembly BOM on the Sales Order to display the individual components. On the Assembly Order you will enter Serial No.'s when creating the assembled Item. Make sure you setup the item tracking code and turn on Serial Number tracking for the components. You’ll have to use item tracking lines to add the serials on the Assembly Orders or if you are performing a Warehouse Pick you will enter them there.

Here is a link to Assembly Management - docs.microsoft.com/.../assembly-assemble-items

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Steve
