• Kit Types
  

1. Empty (kitted on order) - This kit type is for channel Bundeling – if this type of kit is part of an order the order it will automatically be appended with the child parts (if they are in stock if not the order will be rejected). this will only show the child items onto an order and wond show the parent SKU.
   
2. BUILT (Kitted on BUILD) - These kits are built on demand from the screen available under the inventory menu (i.e. your client asks for 10 kits to be built and 10 kits will be made up from the component parts [which must be instock]).In practice when this is done you would then have to physically pull the children sku and create/build up the kit for the quantity requested by the client. The parent kit is created at the point of building and the child items are grouped which results in a SKU line item containing child items that will show the Parent on the order with the child items under in a different colour.
   
3. AUTO (Kitted on CHECK-IN) - This is the traditional type of Kit which would be formed on check-in i.e. when the parent item is checked in it automatically contains the children The child SKUs are bound to the parent SKU in this example so the order needs to be for the parent SKU, the children will follow as a matter of course.
   
4. Picked(Kitted on PICK) - The Picked kit type allows operators to create kits during the picking process. Even if some kit stock is missing, this feature enables the fulfillment of orders by generating the kit on the spot. This flexibility ensures that the order can proceed if requested by the customer, contributing to improved order processing efficiency.
