Sales Kit Blank Title 69790

There is no way to prevent the creation of the additional lines. You
can see the sales kit lines in order entry if you click on the kit
details checkbox - Order Entry, Summary tab, Lines detail grid.

We use kits and we have had a number of problems with them. We gave
up on using them with releases - they do all kinds of odd stuff with
the jobs that result. We reported so many bugs in relation to them
and releases we gave up on them. We had to go live rather than
continue to mess with kit bugs on releases.

Unfortunately Epicor uses the line number (1,4,12) rather than the
display sequence number (1,2,3) on all the reports, so the customers
get to see the oddities.

There are occasional oddities when you ship kits too - be
careful "unshipping" them as occasionally a portion of a kit doesn't
quite get backed out and you get a one-sided entry on the G/L side.

I have set up a Sales Kit. It is marked as non-stock. When I run it
thru a Sales order the release for the part does not mark the part as
make direct. instead a red override button shows up with no check mark
in the make direct box.

I thought that by marking the part as non-stock it will automaticaly
make it a make direct part. Right now when it is in a sales order it
will not create a job to produce the part.

Any suggestions?

Sales Kit <> Manufactured Part.

A Sales Kit is just a convenient way to throw a bunch of parts into a
bag/box and ship them as one part number. No Work order. That's it.

If the part was set as a Manufactured part and you set it as non-Stock THEN
it will be Make Direct (like a configurable part).

I have a sales kit in the system marked as non stock. Vantage states
that if you mark a sales kit as non-stock then it should let you
create production jobs against the sales order for the kit. I am
trying to attach a packing operation to the kit.

When i run a sales order for the kit it pops up with an override
button next to the make direct box for the sales kit part. This
prevents me for running a production job for the packing operation.

Does anyone know if there is a way around this or why it won't just
tag it as make direct?

Thank You

Gene, look at your setups and make sure that your kit components are set to stock. Make sure your non-stock, quantity bearing parts for your sales kit type are set on both the detail and plant tabs for the parent. Are your components set to MRP process? Let me know and perhaps I can run a test on my sales kits and see if I find anything different

Hi,
We just tried to create a Sales Kit for the first time. It is made up
of two parts. Seems to work out fine, however, when we create a sales
order for this part, it appears to use 2 additional lines (for the 2
parts that make up the kit) but you cannot actually see the lines,
just that the lines are skipped, i.e.
Line 1 = Regular part number
Line 4 = Sales kit part number

Does any one know if there is a way to avoid the 2 lines from being
skipped (less confusion for shipping dept). We do not want the 2 parts
to print on the Sales order or packing slip, etc.

Thank you,

We are setting up a Sales Kit to use just to ship parts, no operations
attached to it. When the Kit is used it will pull pricing in off the
Part Master just fine for the parts that are in the revision for the
kit. If we try to add parts to the Kit like it Vantage says we can,
the quantities show, but the price will not show up on the Sales
Order. From what I have researched you should be able to add to the
Sales Kits "on the Fly" to tweek them as required.

Anybody got any idea why the price for the added iems would not pull
in?

Thanks
Gene

Did you put the original sales kit on a price list?
