Selling Dynamic Kits

A dynamic kit is sold as a complete product and, when pre-assembled, it has its own on-hand quantities and availability. However, unlike standard kits, the individual components of a dynamic kit also have their own on-hand quantities and availability.

Depending on kit and component availability, when you enter a dynamic kit on a sales order, the system can fulfill your order by doing any of the following things (in the order listed):

Use a pre-assembled kit that has its own available quantity (all components are available and pre-assembled).
Assemble a kit on-the-fly using individual components that are available in inventory.
Assemble a kit on-the-fly by taking components from other dynamic kits that include the same components.
Assemble a kit on-the-fly using a combination of (1) components that have available quantities in inventory, and (2) components that are taken from other dynamic kits that include those same components.

For examples of how this works, see Dynamic Kit Sales Examples.

Note: In order for the system to check other similar dynamic kits for available components, the Check Other Dynamic Kits For Needed Partscontrol maintenance record must be set to Yes.

To sell a dynamic kit:

Create or open a sales order and display the Body tab.
Enter the kit product as you would any other product. Depending on kit and component availability, the system will fulfill the order using one of the methods described above.
Complete the order as usual.
