Define a Kit Bill

A kit bill must be defined as a specific inventory item and can consist of any number of component items and comment lines. The primary difference between kit bills and other bill types is that kit bills can only use a single-level bill structure. A kit bill cannot contain a phantom bill as a component and cannot contain any miscellaneous charge codes as components.

Before You Begin

After the Bill of Materials module is installed, the Inventory Management Sales Kit Maintenance task cannot be used. You can transfer any sales kits previously defined in Inventory Management to the Bill of Materials module during the Bill of Materials Setup Wizard configuration. For more information, see Set Up Bill of Materials Information for a New Company.
Sales kits can only be copied from Inventory Management using the Bill of Materials Setup Wizard.
