- The required features are already activated. It requires the Sales, Inventory, and Manufacturing applications to sell a kit or combo product. Create a new product which you would like to sell as a kit from Sales | Sales | Product. I am going to create a combo product of Computer Desk + Chair, as I would like to offer a chair at a lower price if it is purchased along with a computer desk:
If someone buys a chair, it will cost them 650, but if they buy it along with the computer desk, it will cost them only 500.
- The kit product can be created from Master Data à Bill of Material. Create a new bill of material, select the product Computer Desk + Chair, and add the Components as Computer Desk and Chair. The BoM Type should be switched to Ship this product as a set of components (kit) instead of Manufacture this product.
You don't need to define the routing on the kit product, as this does not follow the manufacturing process. The route is set on the kit product to buy and not to manufacture the computer Desk + Chair.
- Assume that there is an enough stock available for the desk and chair in the inventory. Let's create a sales order and sell one quantity of the Computer Desk + Chair product.
Confirm the order. The preceding screenshot shows the page for confirming the sales order.
- Click on the Delivery action button to process the delivery order. You will get the delivery order with two items to be delivered from the warehouse.
- Computer Desk + Chair is a kind of a virtual product. The system finds the bill of material for the Computer Desk + Chair product, which is a type of kit.
After processing the delivery order, it's time to create an invoice. Click on the CREATE INVOICE button, keep the default option in the wizard, and click on the CREATE AND VIEW INVOICES button.
The invoice is created for the Computer Desk + Chair product which was actually sold in the sales order.
