If I remember correctly, the system would receive a 'KIT' item into
inventory. Next thing would be to write a BPM to send an email alert to
the appropriate person (with the Part and PO numbers) whenever a 'KIT'
part is received. This will at least do something. The other thing would
be to create a dashboard of on-hand quantities and bins for 'KIT' parts.
Since there should not be any inventories for 'KIT's the dashboard
should be empty every time you run it. Anything else is an action item
for the inventory person.

That's how I'd handle it also Charlie... Just sounded like Jim was
looking for a more systemic driven process than adjustments (that
someone has to then 'remember' to do for his specific single p/n kit
purchased parts). In a busy receiving process, exceptions to the normal
process (like having to do inventory & cost adjustments) are too easily
missed.
A multi-part producing job (with the kit as a buy-direct material) would
force the process - but yes, probably would require as many (or more)
transactions & cost adjustments.
We once had a number of 'kit' parts like this that (finally - after
years of attempts) we simply got the vendor to agree to sell to us as
the individual components they really are (at the same net cost). The
vendor was a multi-billion dollar company that simply did not want to
set up a special process (to them) for us (as we are a miniscule
customer to them)...

A simpler way would be to receive the kit as the kit and then do
inventory adjustments (and cost adjustments if necessary) between the
kits and the components.
- Kits received
+ Component A Received
+ Component B Received
This will allow bins and lots if necessary.
If you were to do it by job, you would probably have more transactions
with the issue, manufacturing receipt & salvage, job reporting, etc.

If you're purchased kit has no more than 2 components you desire to
stock the purchased kit as, you could purchase the kit direct to a job &
have one of the components be what the job is producing & the other
being a salvage part receipt from the job.
We've never used the AMM enabled feature of producing multiple parts on
a job - but if that truly works, than perhaps you could use it to
'produce' & receive more than 2 components of the kit from a job
(following the same purchase direct paradigm & skipping the salvage
receipt).
In both cases, I'd carefully review how the costing would play out
though.

we have discussed something similar but what our plans were/are is to
order the upper level, receive the upper level and stock the upper
level. other than that i'm not sure how it would be done correctly

Subject: [Vantage] Purchasing upper-level, receive lower-level
Hi,
Does anyone Purchase an upper-level assembly but receive the
compoenents? That's just the scenario we think we have to go with. What
we really want/do is the following:
We purchase items at the unit level but have our vendors package them up
in distinct lots (5 packes, 10 packs etc.). We want to stock at the pack
level so we have assigned part numbers to each pack but we are still
purchasing at the unit level.
Our best solution, so far, is to make the packs components of the
unit-level part but can't figure out how to receive the components
rather than the "kit".
Thanks,
Jim Marengo
