Creating ties for BOD and nonstock kit components

In Sales Order Entry, you can source single or multiple components for build-on-demand or nonstock kits.

You can tie a stock or nonstock component line on a BOD or nonstock kit to a purchase order or warehouse transfer. If a component of the prebuilt kit is another prebuilt kit, you can tie the component kit to a work order.

If you create a fabricated kit in Sales Order Entry, you must source the components in KP Work Order Center Entry.

See Creating ties for prebuilt kit components.

Ties are only created if the quantity ordered is less than the quantity reserved. To create a tie for a component that has the full quantity reserved, add the kit to the sales order without sourcing the component. Then, in the Kit Details section for the component, change the reserved amount for component to less than the quantity needed before creating the tie. The tie is created for the quantity ordered less the quantity reserved.

Note: You cannot delete a component that is tied to a source document from a sales order.

Use these instructions to create ties for single or multiple components:

  1. Follow steps 1-3 of the online help instructions to enter a stock order.
  2. In the Product field, specify a BOD kit and the quantity, or specify a nonstock kit.
  3. Select the Kit view.
  4. To source a single component:

    If you are adding a stock or a nonstock component to the kit, you can source the component in the Add Component window. To add components in succession without leaving the Add Component window, select Create Another. After you add a component and click a Submit, the Add Component window resets so that you can add another component. When Create Another is cleared, the Component grid is displayed after you click Submit. If you are adding a nonstock component, click Accept Non-Stock Data. This selection updates the Sourcing section with the vendor or warehouse data you specified in the Non Stock Information section.

    1. Expand the component line and access the Sourcing section. If the component line represents a group, expand the sub-line to access the Sourcing section.
    2. In the Product Source field, tie the component to a purchase order, warehouse transfer, or work order.
    3. Complete the remaining fields for the selected product source.
  5. To source multiple components:
    1. Select the components you want to tie to a single purchase order or warehouse transfer. If you are sourcing lines from a group, you must select the individual sub-lines.
    2. Click Multi-Comp Sourcing.
    3. Specify the product sourcing information.
  6. Click Add to add the line to the order. You can also tie components to source documents in the Line Items section.
  7. Finish the order.
