Kits and Configured items are the collection of inventory items called components, which are linked with a description called a parent item. This recipe provides details of Kits and Configured items.
You should set up the Kits and Configured items in order to create the kit order. Refer to Chapter 3,
When you enter the Sales Order for a Kit and Configured item, the system automatically alerts you to enter the values of Kit and Configured items. A segment is a feature of a configured item, such as brand, model, size, and so on; the system validates each segment value aligned with the user-defined information. The system processes the order for only valid combinations of items. That is, various computer components such as monitor, hard drive, keyboard, and mouse can be one Kit and Configured item. When you sell the items, you may sell the complete system. When you set up a Configured item, you define the segments to represent the uniqueness of a configured item. A sub-assembly can also be set up for Conf igured items.
For example, if you manufacture and sell automobile components, you could present the same parts category, but with a range of features and selections.
