Kitting
Using a Bill of Materials (BOM) from the ERP system, this process takes raw material Items from a selected manufacturing Bin location and combines them to create one or more finished goods onto a License Plate.
Navigate to the Inventory Operations Tab> Manufacturing>Kitting.
Select a manufacturing Bin from the Select Location drop-down box.
Enter in the Item number of the Item to be created and click the Go button.
The Item description will appear to confirm you are creating the correct product.
If your Item is not a basic Item type, enter in your new lot number/serial/expiration date.
Enter in the quantity to create on a single license plate in the Qty to Create field.
Click the Go button to reveal the bill of materials needed to create this finished good.
The BOM shown in the image below shows the three raw materials needed to create the finished good.
A closer look at this screen will reveal the quantity needed to create the finished good, the quantity available of the raw material for a particular Item within the manufacturing Bin as well as the quantity used when the finished good is created. A discrepancy between quantity needed versus quantity used is an issue.
A GREEN box will appear around any Item that has enough inventory available in the manufacturing Bin.
A RED box will appear around any Item that does not have enough inventory to create the finished good.
To complete the finished good, either Bin Transfer product into the manufacturing Bin or substitute another raw material for the missing Item. A finished good cannot be created until all boxes appear green.
If it is configured on your system, there is the ability to substitute another Item or lot available.
Once all quantities are available and all boxes are Green, clicking Create Kits will create the finished good.
A License Plate will print for this finished good and your screen will refresh, and a message will appear at the top that says the kit was successful.
The option to allow manufacturing Bins to run negative and create a finished good, even though there is no inventory, is available with a configuration. Contact WithoutWire for more information.
The counter located below the GO button will count how many License Plates you have created since starting the finished good. When you change the finished good lot number being created, the counter will reset.
At this point there is the option to continue and create the same finished good.
To duplicate the Item:
Reapply any substitution of an Item.
Ensure all boxes are Green.
Confirm the correct printer is selected.
Click on Create Kits.
To change to a new finished good Item:
Click on Cancel.
