Using Kits
Sep/2/2010
In Tradepoint, a kit is a product that is comprised
of other products that can also be sold separately in addition to being part of
one or more kits. Costs and valuations of the products which comprise a kit will
follow the products that are part of a kitted product in Tradepoint.
Kits
can be sold without having all inventory of each item within a kit available. A
matrixed item can also be a kitted item. The kit will have to be associated with
the specific matrixed item.
Setting up a kit involves setting an Inventory
type for a product and then specifying the products which are a part of the
kit.
An Inventory
type is set within the header fields of a product listing. Once an inventory
type has been selected an icon will show up in the top tool bar that will say
kit items.
Click on kit items to specify which items are a part of a kitted
product. The example above is an outdoor patio set comprised of 4 chairs and 1
table.
When kitted items are ordered
they will appear as standard products within an order. Inventory will show as
being available when all the parts of a kit are available. Kitted products can
be sold even if all the kit components are not in stock.
