Creating Kits in NAV - There must be a better way

Posted on by 2

Currently the process to create kits in NAV is this:

Sales writes out all the parts that are going to be sold as a kit and hands it to an admin staff.

Admin staff goes into NAV and removes all those specific parts and the main product.

Admin staff then creates a new main component with the total cost of itself plus all the parts. 

Sales now sells this newly created product as a single entity.

They tell me this process is archaic and there must be a better way in NAV.

    Because those parts need to leave the system as their price will be accounted for in the main product once it has been modified to reflect the combined prices of everything.

    Sorry by admin I mean office administrator staff, not NAV Admin.

    This particular instance is for bicycles in the retail sector. Certain bikes can be sold with a bunch of extras as a "kit" but we are also having to do this process with "crested jerseys" which are regular jerseys with the addition of logos placed on them, the final result is a "kit" as they tell me.

    Edward,

    Why admin need to remove all the specific parts and create a new component ? To have an history ? for the assembling constraints  ?

    Admin are Dynamics Nav administrators or assembling administrators ?

    Depending your sector, a better way is to have a lot of standard kits with minimum of personnalisation or to have some configuration tools that could be used directly by salespersons.

    Regards.
