IC60.1 - Kit, Assembly

Use this form to add make-to-order kit items. Before you can use this form you
must set up kit items and their component items using IC11.1 (Item Master) or
IC10.2 (Item Master and Location). Kit components can be set up in multiple
kits or be set up as a kit item in itself. For example, a lighting company
might set up a lamp as a kit item consisting of three components: light bulb,
lamp shade, and base. The lamp base may also be set up as a kit.

Make-to-order kits are used in the Order Entry system.
Note: The Order Entry system does not explode the components of a
make-to-order kit when the kit is set up as a component in another kit.

You can set up kits in two ways. The first is at the item group level to be
valid for all companies and locations. The second is by company and location.

If the make-to-order kit is set up by company and location, you must set up
the components of the kit to be inventory tracked at the location; you do not
have to set up the kit itself to be inventory tracked. If the make-to-order
kit is set up at the item group level, the components are verified as being
inventory tracked when the kit is entered on an order or requisition.

When you define a kit you select a make code of O. Make code O represents
make-to-order kits, which are assembled when an order is placed in the Order
Entry system.  Make code S represents make-to-stock (also called finished
goods).  Finished goods are produced in the Work Order system and stored in
the warehouse as kits.  You define finished goods by using IC62.1 (Finished
Goods).

As you enter kit components, sequence numbers are assigned. The sequence you
enter kit components represents the order in which components are allocated
and printed on picking lists in the Warehouse system. After a make-to-order
kit has been added, you can use IC60.2 (Options) to set up kit component
options and/or set up kit assembly instructions in IC60.3 (Instructions).

When you enter component items, you enter the quantity needed for kit assembly
and, optionally, indicate whether the component is required. Non-required
components are called kit accessories. You can set up required component
options in IC60.2 (Options). You can also indicate when to start and stop
using a kit component by entering start and stop dates.

The system assigns sequence numbers as you enter component items. For
maintenance purposes, you can insert new component lines between existing
lines. Select the form action X and enter the number of lines you want to
insert in a line action field. When you perform this action, blank lines are
inserted above the line action field. This action creates a new sequence.
Sequence numbers print on the picking list and can be used to indicate the
order in which a kit is assembled.

You can print make-to-order kit assembly information in IC260 (Kit/Assembly
Listing). To display make-to-order and make-to-stock kits that use a specific
component, use IC65.1 (Component Where Used). To determine item component
availability for a specified number of make-to-order kits, use IC67.1 (Kit
Availability).

IC60.2 - Options

Use this form to set up different types of components from which you can
choose for a required kit component defined in IC60.1 (Kit, Assembly).

If options exist for a required kit component, they are displayed in the
Order Entry Kit Options form when you are ordering kits in the Order Entry
system. You can only set up options for required kit components.  Also,
component options must be valid inventory-tracked items defined in IC11.1
(Item Master) or IC10.2 (Item Master and Location).

The system assigns sequence numbers as you enter component options. For
maintenance purposes, you can insert new option lines between existing lines.
Select the form action code X and enter the number of lines you want to insert
in a line action code field. When you perform this action, blank lines are
inserted above the line action code field. This action creates a new sequence.
Sequence numbers print on the pick list and can be used to indicate the
sequence in which a make-to-order kit is assembled.

Note: You cannot set up options for components that are not set up as
required in IC60.1 (Kit, Assembly). Non-required components are kit
accessories.

IC60.3 - Instructions

Use this form to enter assembly instructions or comments for make-to-order
kit items or components defined in IC60.1 (Kit, Assembly). Leave the Sequence
field blank if you want to enter instructions for an entire kit item. To enter
instructions for a component, you must enter the component sequence number in
this field.

The system assigns line numbers as you enter instruction lines. For
maintenance purposes, you can insert new lines between existing instruction
lines. Select the form action code X and enter the number of lines you want to
insert in the line action field. When you perform this action, blank lines are
inserted above the line action field. This action creates a new line sequence.

Use the line order to indicate the order in which a make-to-order kit is
assembled.
