Summary
There is the ability within the Platinum Stock Control to create kits. The following article explains the approved procedure to do so.
In Detail
Kit creating and building is split into stages:
Creating a New Kit Part Number
Go to "Stock Control" -> "Maintenance Options" -> "Kit File Maintenance" -> "Add or Edit Stock Kits".
- In the "Stock:" field, enter in the part number of the top level kit your are amending/creating. If in the "Desc." field you get a "Stock Not Found" message, press <Shift+F10> to create a new Part Number.
- Note: If you build this kit internally, i.e. it is made up from individual component parts that you stock, then on the "Movements Tab", set the "Internal Build?" flag to "Yes".
- Now press <Enter> to get into the "Part:" field.
- Now type in the part number that you want to add to the kit, or search for the part number you require.
- Get into the "Qty.Reqd." field and enter the quantity of the part required for the kit.
- In the "Notes:" field, enter any applicable notes for this line item.
Continue adding part numbers until all parts required for this kit have been added.
- Press <Esc> and <Accept> to save changes.
Now you have created the kit part number, you now need to build the kit and put a quantity in stock.
Building Specific Products
Go to "Stock Control" -> "Maintenance Options" -> "Kit File Maintenance" -> "Build Specific Products"
- Enter in the part number of the kit you wish to build in the "Stock Code :" field and press <Enter>.
- In the "Quantity Assembled :" field, enter in the quantity of the kit you wish to build and <F2> to assemble. This will downstock the individual kit items and put the entered quantity of kits in to stock.
