Managing kitting policies

Kitting is the process of taking materials (components or ingredients) and assembling or producing a new item.

If you have multiple kit specifications for each item master, you can create kitting policies to determines the default kit specification to use for each item on a kit order. (You can always change the specification on the kit order itself.)

If more than one kitting policy could apply for a kit order, the kitting policy is chosen in the following way:

  • First, choose the policy that applies to the Owner.
  • Then, if there is no policy that applies to the kit order Owner, choose the policy that applies to the Vendor.
  • Then, if there is no policy that applies to the kit order Vendor, choose the policy that applies to the Broker.
  • Then, if there is no policy that applies to the kit order Broker, choose the policy that applies to the Customer.
  • Finally, if there is no policy that applies to the kit order Customer, choose the policy that applies to the Warehouse.
  • Always choose the more specific policy. For example, if a kit order has a Warehouse and an Owner specified, and there is one kitting policy available for the Owner, and a second kitting policy is available for the Warehouse and the particular Owner, then the second policy is applied.

You can create, edit, and delete kit policies under Kitting Manager>Kitting Policies.
