KIT Pricing

There are two methods to setup the price of KIT.

(Highlighted Unit Price can be edited in MYOB, but it must be "I Sell" in MYOB)

2. You also can add volume discounts and special pricing for the KIT item as well.

3. In WMS, you will see this KIT with $100 special pricing and a 20% Volume discount as below.

4. COGS perspective, system discount all components to the extent that Total will add up to a KIT item, you can see discount percentage under sale registry detail section as below

5. Leave Unit Price as Zero. The system uses a total of components price.

Important Note

Volume discount still applies, and SPS also will apply if setup for each component.

6. However, if you use method one after you record, the sale order system will hide your special pricing as below, note Disc% and Price$ columns.

7) Kit components will not be shown in Sales Order if KIT components are also used as Assemblies Items. Instead, only the kit header item will be shown.

KIT Backorder options

There is an additional option for Pick and Backorder kits whereby when kit items pick or back order as complete KIT.

In another word, If at least one KIT component doesn't have enough stock (NSA) then System Pick up to maximum complete kits and split rest as a KIT as below.

As well as, BackOrder is a complete set even though some items in the KIT may have stock in the system.

To turn on this function Go to Tools > Preferences> Inventory tab and tick the checkbox shown below.

Now you pick the order system will give you this warning.

Once you click OK, the systems pick KIT as below. Even though you have enough stock RTP for some item, system only pick up to full KIT.

Now system splits KIT as below in your sale order.

Now you can backorder as full KIT.

If the system can't pick any complete KIT, DO NOT split the KIT instead pick all RTP in order to hold all available components as below
