Trial kitting (BOM settings)
There are a number of shared settings between Trial Kitting, Allocation and Build. These can be entered on either the Trial Kitting tab, the Allocation tab or the Build tab.
To use the Trial Kitting tab
Open: Bill of Materials > Utilities > System Set Up > Bill of Materials Settings | Trial Kitting.
Enter the Components settings:
Select this if you want to treat stock on order as available.
Note: Trial Kitting will treat this stock as available for every BOM that requires it during the trial kitting process.
Select this if you want Trial Kitting to show only the shortages.
This is useful if you have a large number of components and you are only interested in seeing the shortages.
Enter the Trial Kitting, Allocation and Build Shared Settings:
If you have a stock item on a product group that allows negative stock, you can select this check box to show the shortages for the components.
If you have a stock item on a product group that allows negative stock, you can select this check box to show the shortages for the sub-assemblies.
Select Ignore Free Stock to ensure the system always builds sub-assemblies.
Select Only use Free Stock to ensure the system never builds sub-assemblies.
Select Build when Required to build sub-assemblies only when required. This extends the component list to show sub-assembly components where there is a shortage of made up sub-assemblies.
Select whether to Continue, Stop Immediately or Stop after processing Bill of Material when you are trial kitting multiple BOMs and shortages are encountered.
